A Gap In the Gyre -- Part 3

Today I saw the most beautiful sun!
Today I'm so grateful for being alive!

If you’ve found serenity, continue with the next right thing
If you’ve found sobriety but are triggered, play the tape
If you’ve found celebration, pass on the hope and sing!

If you’re still in that loop, wait for a moment of still, quiet, and surrender.
There’s a space and gap in the gyre,
Where you can throw your hands up and say, “I’m tired of being on a jones or a bender.”
I’m sick of being on the wheel of the miserably predictable, sick of the spin of the tire.

									            Surrender
								       Recovery
							   Moment
						      By
					 Moment
				Hope
		        Faith
                    In			
     Something

                                                  Just
                                                  One
                                                  Day
                                                  Can
                           Open the door of an eternal pathway
                                                 With
                                                 That
                                                 Thing
                                                   In
                                                 Love
                                                  You 
                                                 Could
                                                  Not
                                                 Have
                                                 Done
                                                   On
                                                  Your 
                                                  Own

Thanks for all of your commentary, Rick! I really appreciate your writing too! I had a lot of fun yesterday reading through some of your art! I'm sorry some of these poems come in "parts"...haven't paid for the plan that lets you post as many characters as you want. LOL! Have a good day, and God bless you!

So glad that speaks to you. I really wanted to capture that it is all about Christ and his eternal love for me, and that I get to have an ongoing relationship with Him. Thank you for all of the wonderful commentary you have given to my work! I really appreciate it!
