Coming Up for Air

Weak and weary
weeping, bleary,
much too teary
to turn toward light.
Should this plight
be my fate,
too late
to find hope
in a promise
uttered
centuries ago?
Should I know
His mercy is new
every morning?
Have I read the promise
somewhere?
A promise to take despair,
wrap it in care
and toss it among
erasings that lie
in eternity’s grave.
Do not save
these shavings
but burn them
in candle’s flame,
letting light
blind them
into obscurity.

©November 7,2004

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Ah, this reads of hope offered -

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.
