Overcoming Sandstorms

O~n occasion, the mind accretes to, "the hurt," when facing
V~icissitudes; blinded by, "the better nature," causing to
E~fface the focus from the Architect while simultaneously
R~aising questions why. Impatience encourages the 
C~ollaboration of misery to consult with those of the same mind.
O~nly then to find temporary pleasure due to humanly clocks power.
M~entally drained by dint of attacks upon attacks; seemingly to be
I~nsufferable and impregnable. Though the Architect, 
N~ever vanishes and will never vanish from the scene. So,
G~ive and release all apprehension with entire trust.

S~torms will arise from daybreak to nightfall. It must be remembered the
A~rchitect of whom in total control oversees misery so 
N~ever question the authority. Become courageous and 
D~etermined that, "This Too Shall Pass." Be conscious of
S~trength, wisdom and knowledge evolving afterwards.
T~oday, focus on the size of the Architect and Not
O~n what the mind can't do. Always
R~emain prayerful and faith filled.
M~ust never ignore the Architect of whom created life's puzzle
S~hifting all elements of sand in place from day to day.



(To those who will receive)


Architect-God
Vicissitudes- Ups and Downs
Insufferable-Unbearable
Impregnable-Unconquerable
Dint-Force
Efface-Wipe Away

This is a very interesting write. The architect as you say is the creator of all tings. I have been all kind of storms. Many years ago I lived in Malta Idaho. That must have been the capital of the Sand storms, we had them everyday. Thanks for sharing... Lucilla

Tis was a great poem that I enjoyed reading very much. When I was in my teens, we lived in a place where we had Sand Storms everyday. They were pretty bad, but as you say - God is the Architect. thanks for sharing this and good luck in the contest..... Lucilla

What an important reminder this is Pace. We sometimes forget that His power over everything we go through is the only thing we should focus on. Through that our strength and determination are build. Wishing you the best for the contest with this beauty. It's great to see a new write from you. ;)
