"This Winter"

This Winter

~
It’s winter and I forgot
The promise I made You, God.
I’ve never felt so alone… take me Home…
I never meant to grow cold.
~
As the snow falls down
You cover me
As the rain falls down
You cleanse me
As Your peace falls down
You wash over me.
Forgive me. Please enter…
This winter.
~
It’s only too late if I
Refuse to let go and try
I will fall back into grace… love and faith…
Forgive these sins I cannot erase.
~
As the snow falls down
You cover me
As the rain falls down
You cleanse me
As Your peace falls down
You wash over me.
Forgive me. Please enter…
This winter.
….this winter….

Games

I always look toward
Greener pastures.
I arrive;
They appear
A deeper shade of faded.
I can’t keep up with this
Tenacious pursuit.
I have responsibilities…
Commitments.
Fallibility comes calling,
And I find myself
Fallen.
There may never
Come that day
When I realize
I have arrived…
But as long as I am
Alive,
I will hope.
This is my idiosyncrasy.
I contrast against
Myself,
And I always seem to lose
When I choose
Victory.
If life just like that?
Am I simply
Broken?
Destined for failure?
You know the truth,
And I know, like you,
I am bigger than
This maze.
Games were never
My forte.
I sometimes contemplate
Quitting
While I am ahead.
