Busy busy busy // go go go
Time is ticking // we must not slow
where did we hear this // how did we know
to stay busy busy busy // and to go go go
but the Lord says be still // he whispers to me
in the midst of the chaos // when i'm down on the knee
the people are worth it // He wants me to know
please stop with the busy // stop with the go
i love writing when i want // i hate it when i don't
and poetry? oh heavens // for sure i won't
never understanding when to start a new line
like now? // is it time to rhyme?
but sometimes the night, the quiet, the late
it gets me. i sit, pondering, feeling the words, the pictures, the stories...
they want out.
they are trapped inside and i am longing
for someone to know them, to hear them, to care
who? oh..does it matter?
sometimes people don't have faces
they are just feelings, emotions, and love
or anger and brokenness.
and we are all wandering.
searching, seeking for the humans around
to linger a gaze, to talk with their eyes
to hear with their hearts
to connect the gap.
to bridge the soul.
to bind the heart.
we long for the go and the busy to slow
to sit and soak.
each other, the mundo, the God
can we? will we?
its why i love the above
the photos, the glimpses.
taking me back to the time
when i tried to be present, i tried to be real
but sometimes...we miss it
and that is what they are for
giving a chance, a second go
to soak up the moments, be in the slow
a psalm is lingering
its in the heart, in the head
the Lord is
breathtaking
personal
real.
He speaks so stern, so sweet, so frail...
am i present?
do i hear?
bless the Lord
a t a l l t i m e s
His praise shall be upon my lips
c o n t i n u a l l y
my soul
it makes its full boast
i n t h e L o r d
i sought Him....
He a n s w e r e d
those who
s e e k t h e L o r d
lack
n o g o o d t h i n g
come, my children,
l i s t e n
for i will teach you the
f e a r o f t h e L o r d
psalm34.
oh magnify the Lord with me // let us exalt His name forever.
