Comforting Calm

There there, don't worry
This too shall pass
Nothing that happens today
Will continue to last

Lock the door, close the curtains
And pull the covers over your feet
Give me the remote
And lets silently retreat

We must submit to authority
We must never be against the law
God wants us to be good citizens
And try our best to hide our flaws

No sense in broadcasting about
Beliefs that will only bring war
Thank you God for our comforts
And seeing to it we have abundantly MORE

....than we need

While we are stuck in this state
Midaswell post pictures of our fun
We will bake, craft and create
Everyday til this trial is finally done

God Lord, they are rioting in the street
There there, we must keep calm
Let us pray to our gracious lord
To send us Heaven's balm

"God send your angels to watch over us
As these heathens run about
Please let no harm come to our dwelling
While LOVE and fear fight it out"

Oh! Look at the news...the state of things
The lord's about to come back
We get to go in the Rapture
While the awful ones are left with all their lack

....needing judgment

Note: There is such a disconnect in reference to the affects of relationship in this nation. Being disingenuous with self makes it impossible to lay bare our souls before a HOLY GOD and highly unlikely to ever be able to connect with others in a TRUTHful way.

Thank you, Gordon. It felt good processing all the blots of injustice flowing on my waters.

Since I'm a verbal processor, poetry is a tool for me. This one felt good to write...allowing all the black thoughts to lay out on the page like a "water baby" in the sun.
