Clutter

Mesmerized by the quality
In the quantities
Of things to be done;
Clouded by the gap that
Takes no time to become crowded.
No time to waste;
But always keeping a steady pace.


Life has its ways of teaching
Gracious lessons simultaneously
Meticulously;
To be noted,
Less fail, and try again,
Becomes our fate.

And, in all the clutter of it all,
There comes a time
For faith to be mastered,
To take a break.
Clear the mind;
Be free and in tune with life.
For if at this,
One may fail;
Beware,
For in time,
The body will go pale.

Please Keep Me Awake

My heart has developed a longing
I’d never thought
Could have been.
A longing to be sure
That in all of this,
A beautiful memory, we will behold.


For some sad reason,
I really thought I’d escaped
The constant turmoil in my head.
I’d forgotten who is my Source.
One truly has no full control
Of all life’s experiences.
It’s our perception that can be managed.


All over my mind,
I’d think I’m asleep;
Living through a little nightmare.
I’ve been here before.
It just gets more intense,
The way the lesson comes on.


Before the “day” is over
May I choose to find joy.
I know I’m not sleeping.
I’ve been awake all this time.
I’m just living ready
To know how to live
A life and be awake in the present.
The “existence era” has ended.

It just continues to come in my face
I don’t understand why
Life and love keep happening to me.
I can never run away
From either of them.

I long for enjoyment
Of life, in peace
And love, to be real.
I need to find it
I’m searching for it.
Would you believe that I already have it,
But I just can’t really believe it?
It’s special to me
And I act like it’s not.

Have you ever felt like this before?

Fall Deep

When the moments in time come rushing in on you

And you barely find the time to think it through;

When the chaos comes in a package mixed with

Beauty and peace

Yet you can’t seem to be sure which is which.

The deepest of needs seem to be next to nothing.

You wonder why, no tears left to cry.

The smiles and laughter seem to be temporary masks

To cover the dullness of it all.

The burdens have pushed you so deep.

Almost falling on your face.

Turn over.

Look up.

It doesn’t matter how deep you’ve fallen down.

Trust yourself to get back up;

To rise again.
