My abc’s keep bumping
into my z’s and dizziness
does not articulate well;
speaking falls
just out of reach.

The few words I am able
to formulate are
dreadfully close to falling
off the edge
of this fragile perimeter.

Faith’s directive is to accept
there is no way off;
this merry go round
lasts a lifetime.
Sensibility insists
I must grow up.

Lord plant me in the center
of your will, keep my eyes
on You, saturated in Your Grace,
nourished with Your Word.

Lord, if twist I must then let me
raise my hands in adoration
as You bend me this way
and that.
Let me reach ever upwards
until Heaven’s door is opened
unto me.

I'm afraid mine would be clenched fists by now. *S* But that only increases my awe for your faith. *S*

I hope... so much... that this plateau opens a new path and you reach joy... and that raised hands are clapping a rhythmic beat applauding a journey well done. *S*

Lord plant me in the center
of your will, keep my eyes
on You, saturated in Your Grace,
nourished with Your Word.

And I prayed while I read your words. Amen.
