Faith vs Fear
October's smashed pumpkins litter barren ground –
Impending solstice chills my fragile bones –
Scarecrows gesticulate, howling at harvest moons –
Blurry dreams burst with ragamuffin ravens.
Seasons brown, overripe like mushy bananas
Threatening to stupefy me with fumes of sweet nothing.
Yearly cycles repeat inexorably – I fail to optimize my time
As I chase twinkling trivialities along looping trails,
Soul spiraling down drains into clogged gutters.
Why is it so easy to shroud myself in stagnation?
Do I not believe in God’s loving kindness?
He sustains me daily, though I hide from reality;
He promises He has prosperous plans for me, yet I hold back,
Haunted by hidden potholes in dimly lit paths ahead.
Lord, create in me a heart of action, of courage amid shadows,
Because I know You give enough Light to safely begin walking.
Words: 135. Lines: 16.
