Embrace the Quiet

I’ve been down that road before so many times

I’m looking for meaning, seeking new Rhymes

I’m absorbed in life’s intricacies, puzzling it out

Attempting to determine what life’s all about.

Creative flow and then periods of drought

Achieving intimacy, and then being locked out

Bathed in information but overcome with doubt

Questioning, probing, but religiously devout

Armed with the knowledge that the word is true

I’m occasionally delightful and I’m often blue

I seek redemption and commune with the saints

I seek flow with words as a painter who paints

In an age where connections are fleeting and few

I reach out to embrace the quiet, my spirit to renew

I seek out the paths our good forefathers trod

I don’t fear the isolation..I’m linked to God
