Windy Point

The V of land

Almost shrouded by imposing trees

Yet glimpse below

The endless forest of houses

Bounded, bordered, framed

By ocean        

Sometimes blue and sometimes grey.

The landscape

Exudes, exhales the golden unquenchable sunlight.

We act

A look

A tone of voice

All it takes to wreck my day.

Why do these things sour

Long after every smile is forgotten?


 

We

Made in the image of God.

Why

Compelled to act like the devil?

Where are the answers?

I thought
I would find the answers.
In the end,
I believed
It would all make sense.
Instead
I find myself
Clutching at questions,
Blindly groping
Hoping to find some light
Somewhere…
God, please can I find some clarity
Somewhere…

Words

I have a fear of words
- They are too brutally honest.
- They expose me for all that I am
And all that I am not.
 
I have a fear of words
- They strip me bare.
- They leave me naked and raw
Before all who wish to ridicule.
 
I have a fear of words
- The cover nothing up.
- They undermine my self esteem
Yet leave my insecurities intact.

When counting sheep doesn’t work

Lying awake
Thinking of you
And trying to count sheep.
Thoughts of you
Seem to fill me up
I am unable to sleep.
I can’t get you out of my head
As clichéd as it sounds.

Watching the world go by

Can I be
Content,
Sitting in my corner?
Watching the world go by,
Am I watching my life go by?
What motivates me to live?
I don’t know.
And yet I go on
And continue to wonder why I do.
