Clay and Water

"These Days are passing over me
At the speed of light.
Standing here in their shadows
Silenced at the sight.
Like water on the wind I sense the change to come
All that I've held in like teardrops run

I am clay and I am water
falling forward in this order
While the world spins round so fast, slowly I'm becoming who I am.

Nothing ever stays the same
The wheel will always turn
I feel the fire in the change
Somehow it doesn't burn.
Like a beggar blessed I stumble in the grace
reaching out my hand for what awaits

I will live from my heart and I will catch the lines of love as they come. Back to you I know they'll end and into you I know I'll be."
~MB

I am overwhelmed. I am full.
I wish that I might be overwhelemed by things of value rather than momentary bruises that always cry wolf. Enlarge my heart God- Let me forget things of no eternal value.
