Born blind
Living in darkness
What is real
Is a mist
Lasting only a moment
What I know
Is gone and then
Forgotten
Meaning is elusive
Grasping at the breeze
My hands are empty
Frustrating and futile is
Who I am and
What I do
Not important
Reaching to touch
Hoping to know
Everything that is
Has touched
And been touched
And then forgotten
Why has no answers
Blind I cannot see
Sometimes lights flash
In my peripheral vision
Only knowing darkness
The light is confusing
Sometimes I look to
See the flashing light
Light hurts my eyes
Living in darkness
Light hurts
Persisting I am drawn
Acclimating I take
Longer looks and
Consider
Considering I learn
Learning I grow
Growing
Fear fades
Drawn to the light
A fatality occurs
And life is born
Darkness is fading
Light is lived in
Increasing measure
Light giving life
The eternal births
Eternity within
Moved from mist
To eternity
From blindness
To having sight
Confusion to
Peace and solemnity
Now knowing what I
Could not know
In darkness
No longer blind

Short
My whole life short
Wanting more
Not liking my stature
Seeking and yet
So disappointed with
Myself
On my knees I shout
Humbled I bow
Through eyes overflowing
With tears
Knowing disappointment
I am broken
Just too short
Much too short
Not by design
I have no strength
Short, broken and weak
Unable to change I cry out
Unable to rightly fulfill
What was planned
Too short, too broken, too weak
Yet hope remains
Not in me
I know me too well
My confidence is in Him
He is my Hero
An Idol worth setting up
The only Idol I need
Focus on Him
Lean on Him
Only Him
He is not short
He is Unbreakable and Secure
Infinitely Strong and Undefeatable
Not like me
Short in all my efforts
Broken from knowing
I am weak and unable
Yet at His Word
I rise
I see above the
Crowds of the world
As He lifts me
Healed to move forward
As He is Within
Beside and Before
Moving forward in
Strength from Him
My shortness,
Brokenness and weakness
Are inconsequential only
Because He lives within
I am short
I AM is not
Therefore, I go
Forward

Life so busy,
I need an escape.
To the mountains I run,
To see and hear the beauty of.
Or to the beach I run,
To see and hear the beauty of.
Or to the desert I run,
To see and hear the beauty of,
Or to close friends I run,
To see and hear the beauty of.
Or to my heavenly family I run,
To see and hear the beauty of.
Or to my church or Bible study I run,
To see and hear the beauty of.
How often is it that to the Lord I run,
To see and hear the beauty of?
