WORDS

by: Julie-Anne Wideman

Words. Running around my mind
Bouncing around so much I can't make sense of them
Some connect and make thoughts
Some collide and destroy the thoughts

Can't focus. Where am I supposed to be?
Here or there?
Everywhere it seems

Someone is pulling in this direction
Commitments drag me in the other way
Where do I go?
Can't I stay here?

Words going everywhere
Some random, some not
DESERT, FAILURE
CONFUSION, SKY

Where are they?
Where are those words I need?
. . . ..
Wait! I see them.
But they’re out of my reach

Then He hands them to me and all makes sense
PEACE, COMFORT, GUIDANCE
