Cadence…

As much as quick or easy rank preferred,
And rushing, running, hurry, get it done,
Is it really for better or for worse?

The world turns, as hearts beat to the rhythm,
Thru the rhythm, all due to the Rhythm.
Quick beats run astray, pushing the limits.

Generate an energy all their own,
Making chaos, pulling things all apart,
Breaking promises, breaking hearts, untold.

Tell those beats, “Too, too quick, it’s time to quit!”
Slow it down, take the time, create some space.
Stop and listen, look and learn—Hope awaits.

For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be. – Luke 12:34

Heart shaped leave on a sidewalk

Waiting to be Caught…

The goodness of the Lord is all around,
Perhaps at times allusive,
But nonetheless present,
And waiting to be counted.

The goodness of the Lord is all around,
Despite all the distractions,
Noise and blurry vision,
Or moments looking past it.

The goodness of the Lord is all around,
Everywhere and anywhere, I go.
No chaos, nor destruction,
Ever, can surpass it.

Heart shaped leave on a sidewalk

Taste and see that the Lord is good;
blessed is the stalwart one who takes refuge in the Lord. – Psalm 34:9
