direction

Hellen Willett 

rambling words and confused feelings

caught up in this whirlwind of life

pouring out in every direction

turning right

turning left

going forward

trying to go back, but hoping for the present

jumbled thoughts fill the air

minds are tattered between truth and rationalization

floating around as if there isn’t a today

or a tomorrow

discovering a purpose—a reason

peace is alone in the One who created me

a joy that can’t be touched

it alone is my desire

the hardships and thorny paths we must take

cold, dark, unsure, but light ahead

for one day the tornado will cease

all will be still

ahh…life is a deep ocean in which we swim

strong currents, heavy breaks in the surf

but cool and refreshing it is

take heed and find peace

for it rests in the maker of that sea

turning right

turning left

standing still—finding peace, reason, comfort
