Twiddling

Twiddling I’ve travelled far but how did I get so far away. I’ve lived in shadow and scaled the mountain tops. I’ve no right you know to complain to God or anyone. I’ve travelled far but how did I get so far away. I spent myself just spreading myself thin, many loose ends, too many for one to have. Like everything a person starts something to do first. I spent myself just spreading myself thin. So, I sit and stare, passing time ‘til it lets me be. Musing on the “why I wasted life”, or it wasted me, and answers are slow, but I do begin to comprehend. So, I sit and stare, passing time ‘til it lets me be. yes, I sit and stare passing time ‘till it lets me be. Sept. 12, 2012 © cghjr

I'm still learning. But God is there waiting for me to believe.

John, this is just a poem. There is no truth in it for me. I thought it sounded good so I wrote. If you truely believe that God is there waiting for you to believe, you are fooling yourself. God is there because you believe, you just need to admit that you do---not for His sake but for your peace of mind. He hears your inner self already.
