Rubble At Your Feet



Empty Chair
Blank Page
Thoughts come with effort, 
if at all, at this stage..... 
it has everything to do with
circumstance of long standing 
and nothing to do with age.

On the edge of breakthrough,
you feel as if you will break down.
But, stick your hand in your 
pocket and take hold of the mustard seed.
Faith is believing, not in circumstance,
but in God's promises we can choose to heed.

Tired, bummed out and burnt out, 
it's time to hold your peace, 
but almost time to let loose
 with a Jericho shout!


March forward, even though
your eyes are blurry and you
have an ache in your feet. 
This task, with all its layers
and its many players
is finally, at long last,
nearly complete.

Discouragement will try to move in
and obstacles will seem to multiply
before your eyes.

Believe in the things hoped for and 
what onlookers deem impossible.

Time has moved slowly
Now the clock will quicken
at a rapid rate.

All that debri and burden
will soon, no longer be a barrier,
but mere rubble at your feet.
