" In a Nutshell "

 " In a Nutshell "  

My soul is growing fonder of living

life with more Faith than Unfaithful ways..

A cleaner mind,

A healthier heart,

Soul been screaming for more Grace-filled days!

I've had 4 Days of Mania & 3 Days of Stressing,

So Hear me out & Hear what I have to say!

If I already thought that it was strange to think it;

It definitely feels out-of-place to say.

I'm no longer longing through this Hell-of-a-world,

I think my soul has finally found its way.

I think I'm ready for;

A beautiful touch..

I understand that everything will be OK.

I think I'm ready to move;

real soft and slow..

& not to use my past as a limiting crutch..

I used to think that less was best;

yet, even better..

But Unfortunately,

I think I need a bit much!

I could never be led by Gin or fear;

& damn sure not by demand..

I couldn't see it with the physical eyes;

Only felt the guidance from a whimsical hand...

I've seen so much grace in Your world,

Yet so much pride in Your people;

I see people longing for acceptance,

But they no longer seek You..

I see the grounding in humans & the beauty in nature;

& A world of Forgiveness,

& A Creator of Acceptance...

I come to you..

& I won't ask for too much;

Please grant me some favor...

My soul is ONLY longing for Us....

Please make me faithful in every aspect of life...

Even if that "life" decides to treat me wrong or right..

Please never let me shrink any ounce of Me...

God, please remove me from all the

Lamb & the Sheep...

I wish the veil;

Had been earlier lifted;

I had all of the visions, but didn't feel the acceptance...

I have a new confession:

I've had epiphanies!

But I'm ashamed to say..

This feeling is rarely new to me...

I'm no longer fighting the current,

I'm now swimming with fishes,

I'm now fighting for Peace.

To a war that seems never-endless.

Yes,

I've had fathers.

Yes, I've learned lessons.

Yes, I've had distance.

Yes, I've earned blessings.

Yes,

I understand there’s different seasons to come.

But, I didn't understand that when it storms; You don't run.

Just in case I lost you, I only came here to say..

"My Soul was Seeking out a Love; Disguised in Unfaith-full-less Ways."
