Beauty and the Beast, Worthy is the Lamb

Battling to awaken

this fog driven fantasy

Coffee offers nothing

Body now immune to caffeine

 

How do I wake up from this sleep deprived dream

 

Too tired to exercise

Too exhausted to think

Fighting to stay in this animational game

God what of this benevolence…

 

Calloused hands, bruised feet

muscles beyond restore

Sure I can do it all

I’ve done it before

But this time I wonder

What is my stake? Do I have claim?

Will all I be leaving behind, a

battle torn body

or a legacy to reside

 

Dwelling within the minds of yours 

 

I want the easy way once, a

road

well travelled…

a super highway from

point ‘A’ to point ‘B’

I wish in clear conscience

I could pray that

just once… but…

You have shown me your hands, your feet

your own torn body and I know

A gift to travel at all

 

It is the less travelled roads Dad and I took

on the way home from town

in his old, red, beat up truck

we got lost, stuck, broken down

but found little known lakes, unlikely

homes

pastures

abound

in 

wildlife

unaffected by the populated surrounds

 

I take it all back

Who am I to complain, to

lay stake on what’s yours

‘Suck it up camper!’ What I

Like to say

Love these new days

Coffee

Is

Gone

Pop some Advil

Get back in there

More ground to cover

LOVE

ONE

ANOTHER

 One More Day

Worth Its  Weigh

Thanks for the pep talk

Eyes forward on life, pain set aside

Letting go my strife.
