We are all but a breath away from death...The silence of life is sometimes very deafening and hurts us to our souls
We try to run but seem to be traveling to a destination unknown
the escape that we seek is ever elusive and throws us into a pit of darkness
The thrashing around helpless feeling overwhelms our desire to keep looking for that Light
Asking why, what for, how come, how long
Begging for answers that will cease us from the torments of life and the desire to succeed at all costs, no matter what the price may be
We fall haltingly into a spiral that cascades us into the arms of the comfort we seek
only to find those arms have no strength
To hold us, comfort us, lift us, steady us, embrace us and love us
Nothing new has become our daily mantra and same ole' same ole has become our friend
The darkness begs us for release into the abyss of infinity only to have our souls shattered by
the stark realization that once travel begins down that particular road, heading to that uncertain destination, we have started the descent......
We are all leaning on the Everlasting Arms of Jesus to keep us comforted, protected and secure in this harsh world of our making.
