I Find Myself Living Life

 I find myself:

Listening to God in the silence of my mind

Slipping fast into the sea of my emotions

Traveling along the minute hand of logic

Drowning in the man made pool of fears

Holding tightly to the life raft of laughter

Connecting to sweet distractions of lyrics

Giving out candies of God’s Mercy and Love

Breathing deeply the love of family and friends

Taking detailed trips on day dreams and fantasies

Fighting mortal battles with the whispers of prayer

Guarding myself against the battles of others insecurities

Walking the balance beam of solitude and companionship

Telling my heart sweet nothings to push away hurts and pains

Watching little bits of knowledge and wisdom floating in the air

Trying to find the right balms and band-aids for chronic pain

Walking numbly across the tightrope of distress

Crying tears of over-stimulation and compassion

Ultimately I find myself trying to live life

Reaching toward Jesus’s hope….
