Poem
Sometimes people and things enter our lives and appear to be everything we want and all that we’ve been longing for… Sometimes those very people and things are only meant to be in our lives for only but a season… We create these “ideas,” develop emotions, before knowing for sure what we have encountered; we find ourselves entangled in the “idea” of what and how we would like for things to be. Before long, we look up and realize we’re left with nothing but a bunch of trumped up emotions and a truckload of disappointment. Sometimes we just need to be brutally honest with ourselves and expose the truth for what it really is… Overwhelmed by emotions rushing through like a whirlwind, How did this connection end before it even had a chance to begin? It all seemed to be perfect; almost too good to be true, Without me speaking a word, you seemed to know just what to do. Glancing in the rearview, holding on to what I’d hoped would come to be, I must release, disengage, extract, untangle these emotions and quickly get back to doing me… Not an easy thing to do but necessary nonetheless and although I desire more- I must get a grip, pack up these emotions and politely escort them to the door. I refuse to allow myself to be taken out by someone else’s storm. Maybe there’s a reason things appeared to be everything outside the norm… Although this may appear to be tumultuous and impossible to deal, I must see this for what it is and separate this “idea” from what is real. Distracted by this diversion, unsure and anxious of what possibly lies ahead, I must be patient with life and focus on what’s my reality instead… Instead of creating these ideas based on what and how I’d like for things to be, I must be still, search God’s word, and allow Him to elevate and position me to receive. To receive the extraordinary things He has prepared for me alone, An abundant future filled with peace, hope, true love, an existence second to none. Although the possibility remains for something to exist between you and I, I’ll just keep it moving for now, accept my reality, stand on the shore and wave to you goodbye. Poetic Love 10/19/10
