If my mind can be cleared,
I soothe it.
But it can’t
Without peace
So I fight
And I lose it
If my thoughts can be articulated,
I write it.
But they can't
Without strength
So I fear
And I hide it
If my heart can be freed,
I uncage it
But it can’t
Without grace
So I ask
And engage it
If my soul can find rest,
I accept it.
But it can’t
Without Him
So I pray
And direct it
