Book Extract
SELF-DOUBT
The fear rains down like a shower on life’s window pane,
Each drop an intrinsic part in the scheme of blame.
The feelings muted with absence of voice to speak,
Delve inward to break down the spirit, to strip strength from the weak.
Our hearts have no choice in the outworking of time.
Just awaiting the judgement, each stands in their line.
Our sinful souls, never to reach acceptance,
Stand accused, even though every fibre begs repentance.
For standards are made not with understanding of life,
Unreachable to most in this world full of strife.
Oh, mercy, where are you for all to see?
Understanding rather than judgement there needs to be!
So that guilt can fade with its destructive power,
Let security blossom like a desert flower.
So when the fear rains down on life’s window pane,
The doubt in ourselves is never to blame!
LIFE’S PEACEFUL RESTING PLACE
Fluidity entrances and enrages,
As time encapsulates thought.
As we try to make sense and reason,
Of life’s entangled web.
A celebration indeed,
Each moment is created to be,
A translucent vision,
Seen through innocent eyes.
Forging through time,
Always longing to focus on truth,
As falsehood emerges,
With its powerful hindrance.
Then turmoil retreats quietly
To peaceful resting places,
Crisis evaporates and filters
Silently through life’s gentle breeze.
And a troubled mind is, at last, at peace!
