The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Be Still

A girl with a thought
woman with a scheme
A dream catcher who sought
An impossible dream

 One in a million
A shot in the dark
Many boxes to fill in
And lights to spark

But efforts relentless
Lines being walked
Issues to address
Loose ends pulling taut

Moments of uncertainty
Pride scarred and bruised
Others shine perfectly
Control set on cruise

But the grass isn't greener
Only an alternative hue
The storm isn't meaner
Or the sky more blue

She is conscious and aware
These assumptions are false
To get here from there
Bridges will be crossed

Keeping God in the center
And a shallow depth of field
She'll arrive where he sent her
She need only be still

Wow, that was one of the best poems I have ever read. I love how you incorporated God in there. I respect you for talking about him so out loud like that because most people wouldn't be brave enough to.
