Joining the Five Minute Friday crew where we write for five minutes on a one word prompt. This week’s prompt is Pause.
GO
I dream
Of so many ways I can be
Just the Perfect ______
And I plot
And I plan
And write all my lists
Some days I just jump up
Dive in
Music blaring
Smile on
Nothing gets in my way
But sometimes
Oh life
I stumble
Right out the gate
And this mountain
Of dailies
I climb
It’s over-whelming
From this point of view
From the ground
Sigh. It’s a lot
And I feel down
Just Down.
I want to stay there,
Curl up with the disappointment
Snuggle in and nurse the sadness
So I pause
‘Lo, I am with You always’
And breathe
Get myself settled,
Dusted off.
Begin again.
STOP
“…I stumble right out of the gate.” Oh, boy! Too many times….. But God…. He is there, right where we are.
Blessings on your weekend!
