No sleep for this restless spirit
the rhyme schemes escape me
no soft smooth words this night
the distracted mind looks for answers

pulled in so many directions
so many stings being pulled
social awkwardness seems
the only adequate skill of late

just searching for my place in this world
a real home,
a real career,
and a close nit heart

recently abandoned hope in this country for me
then, friends, out of the blue
and yet none seem close
but with months or years one might be proved wrong

time constraints stress
money belt tightens
but with new hope on the horizon
this month, these weeks hold so many answers

Should be at church, perhaps
for nothing but the peace
I used to know
I used to give

So many things to be done
So many things to be said
and shared
So much to be learned

and then there's that which I don't speak of
things i dare not dream
reaching out
summoning within

strength
peace
passion
and faith
