The haze of this maze,
Sets me ablaze,
While the phase of the praise,
Lost their ways,
Now my gaze turns to new days,
And new ways.

Messing with rhymes :)

Oh what a week....
Yes, I was weak
My meak self could hardly speak

The pain...
Oh what a pain it was
My vain self could hardly explain

Every ache felt like my last,
Yet night after night,
Oh what a pain it was.

Now I sigh in relief.
Oh for what a pain it was, is no more.
Will my inner child
Catch up to my adult mind
And collab
Or collide?
Childhood problems in my adult brain
Buddha has to laugh
people refuse to change
so worse they remain

do you ever feel like a fly on the wall?
even in your own story
like everything is happening
and you're just
t h  e   r    e
watching it all go like a movie
then before you know it
you’re old
gray
shriveled
and you
            did
                 NOTHING
you
     were
            just
                 THERE
why?
why let others live your life?
is it because you don’t think you deserve it?
think its worth it?
think YOU’RE worth it?
who are YOU to decide your worth?
you have a
                  beating
                              heart
                 a
                  breathing
                                 lung
                 a
                  feeling
                             touch
you are ALIVE
you dont GET to decide otherwise
you WILL live
because you ARE alive
Long as I got faith I won't give up.
Through any problem God will pick me up.

Yes, as long as I got faith I will get through.
Through any journey I'm going through.

I must believe.
I must believe.
Cause I got the spirit of the Lord within me.

So, as long as I got hope my faith will see me through.
We all have obstacles that we go through.

I must believe.
I must believe.
God has a purpose for me.
icy east wind
whipping over fells
curling around barns
squeezing under doors
past ill-fitting windows
slicing through the layers
freezing breath and fingertips
digging stock from snowdrifts
lambing morning, noon and night
daily feed-round, on quadbike or foot
maintaining fences, building walls
protecting from rustlers and dogs
set loose on sheep for 'sport'
bio-security, official papers
vets, auctions and dealers
a shepherd's working day
woman, dog and flock
'the sheep follow her
for they know her voice'
what makes a good shepherd?

Kind smiles for all I see,
Alms for donations,
Lord my liberation,
Serving the community,
Praying for you and me,
Believers are human too,
Here in our mortal zoo,
Creed means I can say,
Be you beautfully today!
