Shattered Lens

I was walking along the path With full eyesight in tact Discovering nouns and verbs Conjoined as presented fact Things were fine, til they weren't And I began to question If there were common laws A weary soul could rest in The more I wondered, I wandered Hither and yon, searching for....what!?! I'm certain I appeared whackadoodle Throwing out ideas and systems that just could NOT ....answer Through all the sifting and mixing I baked myself a right good mess Then I threw out my heart's desire "Where can a spiritual heart enter a natural rest?" LOVE came to me in the form of man And gave me His hand to take I hesitated with terror "What if I follow and you find 'I' am a mistake?" He entreated me to move in trust Allowing all things to work out in process The more He revealed about LOVE and life The more I was left to guess ...through shattered lens Did I see what I think I saw Was what I saw based in preconceived notion Shall I run along the laid out track Or leave all habit for unwavering devotion Something about habit that is appealing At least one can feel safe....for a while But once TRUTH is revealed, in the open You can accept, or enter "duh nile" Though images pass, and insecurities emerge Through shards of broken glass I am learning to look for movement, only Never reaching to hold in a stolen grasp ...an eternal GOD Written by Trudy Schrader on 10/05/2019
