THIS RESTLESS SPIRIT


THIS RESTLESS SPIRIT
So fidgety inside
Edgy, impatient
Awake inside
Like the rolling waves
Tumbling, turning and churning
The dust the dust
That I want to keep
It is tormenting
A fierce torrent
That cannot be controlled
The rocking and rolling
Like the waves crashing over the rocks
Crashing, bashing and lashing
These insides
The hurt the pain
The strain
It cannot remain
The force, the power
The now or never
The waves need calming
Soothing
Washing it all away
The rocks my strengths
My rock in times of need
Stability
Steadiness
Firmness on this solid ground
A phase
A stage
That seems so rocky right now
The storm will pass
Never lasts
Just a momentary moment
In this wondrous life
