Drop by Drop

Drop by Drop  12/23/2013

Wax melts

And wax hardens

Dripping down the candlestick

Hot, molten, and rich.

Time is an allusion

Because that is how we see it

Experienced, but not understood

Unappreciated and dead.

Filling our mouths

And grasping at straws

We fill in the still moments

Happy, sad, and dull.

Nothing is ever over

And no small victory

Ever endures

As time washes away

All learning and memory.

We plan for futures

That are already here

But waste all our present

Living in fear.   

Deep in forever

Is where we should rest

Far above

This ebb and flow. 

Life tosses us about

And smashes us together

But this place can still be happy

If you embrace

What God has done. 

With life comes sadness

But all the hatred in the world

Will never stop

What is good

And what is right. 

There is always a way

And I know God will use it

Keeping us safe

And blessing us

More and more.  

We are together 

In the knowledge of truth

And I pray every day 

For those who I will.

Someday these boundaries will melt

And someday this weight will lift

As we come together 

To live as we should.  

No longer isolated 

And no longer blind

As we fill up with light

And shine like the sun.
