night falls
the deep emptiness of the day
is now surpassed
by the dark emptiness of the night
as daylight endured
i could ignore the
abyss within
I could fill the moments.
phone calls, meetings
errands,
the urgency of it all gave me
respite
from thinking and feeling
but in the night
what was
and is
and might be
crashes in
leaving me defenseless
and in the night
as all around me quiets
the turmoil within swells
into a cacophony
of questions and doubts
and so i sink
into restless sleep
it will be
a long night’s journey to the dawn
SK
I am constantly reminded, as I struggle with so much in life
with my own failures
and with the demons without
debt ceilings
hatred
anger
fear
that it is always
ultimately
all about God
it is all about GRACE
All I can do, ultimately
is rest gently in God's love
