Sometimes

sometimes,
          I'm afraid 
          of myself;
          all at sea, 
            unsure 
    which side of life
       is up or down; 
        not knowing 
which fork in the road 
             to take 
  and need guidance.
         sometimes,
        I seek clarity,
  and through prayer,
     my mental knots
        come undone.
         sometimes, 
    I shatter into bits 
    of a broken stone 
and need reassurance 
     that all is broken 
          w  i  t  h  i  n 
          will be fixed, 
        piece by piece. 
          sometimes, 
       I need strength 
    to muddle through 
          trying times,
       and to the Lord,
                I turn.
