Humility of Rescue

Agonizing over never ending foolish And selfish inner struggles Tick… tock, tick…tock! Fighting the urges that want to keep me from staring… Staring upon the mundane crucial clock The countless dragging out of amending antiquated notions Marching on one by one To soulful misconceptions And then a changing of the guard? This, drawn out day of life…is never done Your jousting of the illusionary windmills Is an absolute absurdity To the following false hopes, false doctrines, and prophets too Straight into these paradigm obscurities Then, voids of vastness and infinity being filled Follows through to the unremitting unrelenting fray Or merely drifting along? Into these tepid waters, of a world in complete and utter disarray Then along comes tragedies, calamities and catastrophes Conveying you to your utter depths, Doubts, uncertainty also beasts of burdens… That follow… in their footsteps This is when we are left… Torn! Battered and broken with harden hearts Never able or even willing to rise? The ominous, black waters of self pity Engulfing Losing all hope and faith Swallowed by the unexpected tides Humbleness is our only rescue Blows a breeze of whispers, carried to the heart Jesus Christ the Savior Reaches out his hand, embraces you with love… …and offers you another start
