today i saw a break in the clouds. all praises to the Most High. nothing changed...things may even be worse but the burden has proven too much. and so i laid it at His feet and despite my short comings He still saw to it that the weight was lifted. he gave me rest and peace. my circumstances can drive the sanest to madness but His grace has proven once again to be sufficient. that being said the poem follows.
i was starving, malnourished, void of protein and vitamin c, a, and b now dont be mistaken i am not speaking of the meat of trees and sprouted leaves. this food, this mannah is from heaven and i closed my window for just a second but in that dark space it felt like eternity, mind to mush and body broken spirit dejected and soul choking. i wasted away for centuries in the twinkling of an eye starved right to death but with my last breathe remembered my maker. And just as he said, i neared Him and He filled the gap. did cpr on my poor soul and filled my lungs with living air, comforted my heart and gave my mind a jump start.
that being said, strife is still just ahead. but now i keep my window open. as you speak i listen. feeding on that sincere milk you give me hoping i'll be ready for the meat when it comes, hoping i'll have enough to share, no longer being needy and greedy but full and satisfied with the truth willing and able to feed wisdom to the youth.
