Poem 179: Knot Knowing

My stomach is tied in knots.
I am not knowing, or even able to hint at thoughts
that would tell me which direction I'll be going.

that they blow life away in their wake. 

I am unprepared in going
and feel unready for this story that engulfs me in its flow.
Although my faith fails me, I will embrace my missed glory
and stop preparing plans so that when Your will surprises me
I will smile instead of hang my head
and wish I had had the faith to simply just be led.

My stomach is tied in knots.

  1. Because you care, it's why your fare is
    Disconcerted. And it's your strength when
    Up in angst, disconcerted. That you
    Fail. In peace prevail, for glory leads
    You, in your weakness.
    Humbled. Debased. Disconcerted.

    Your measure is unmeasured. Because your
    Quirkiness is anormalized in finnish
    Your different, but not yet done. You
    Look, to the son for warmth. Egregious,
    Gregarious, surrender to beginning and ender.

    This life is His. We will eventually remember.
