Suddenly

January 9, 2013

Suddenly.

My heart is broke, not working.

Under attack, from within;

Relentless pain and confusion reign

As slowly clarity emerges.

What happened to me?

Did I do this?

Denial.

My God, my God, why?

But. Wait. Spirit is present,

As slowly calm emerges.

Life is present.

Wholeness preserved.

Friends are present speaking prayers,

Speaking love

As slowly comfort emerges.

Plans have changed.

Life is reborn and saved.

Anxiety, fear, future and hope–

Crazy.

As slowly a new day emerges.
