Ropes

 

[via]

i take a deep breath

attempting to untie these ropes

for the millionth time

it tightens again

of its own accord 

without my consent

i look to the heavens

and release my grip

because even if i don't

have control

i know Who does

and as my hands fall

the ropes fall off 

and the air rushes into my lungs

fresh and calm

and filled with Your Peace

that i don't understand.
