Not far off

Speak to me…
of building structure in a harsh landscape

So close to water
Yet thirsty

Beauty not far off
Yet I feel barren and cold

Stumbling along the
Sharp edges of life

Searching for the truth
That will console and fill me

Will what I build last
Or tumble down?

Speak to me of hope
Speak to me of sunshine and warmth
May His beauty be reflected in what I create
With my time and talents accountable to only One.

  1. Beautiful. I love reading your poetry because it gets me to stop and think about what is real in life- and check all that activity at the door to rest in Truth.
