Lost Passion, Found

I am a Sailboat adrift,
Lost from its mooring,
Direction-less at sea,
The winds are gone,
The sea is calm,
What am I to do?
Hands to my oars,
He drives me on each day,
Till my sights on the farthest shores,
Such joy, for my Savior is with me,
Journeying through the deepest seas.

Busyness

Busyness abound,
Cars and people,
Stopping a while,
But always moving,
Stop signs, signals,
Traffic lights seen,
Red, blue lights,
Should I go left,
Or should I go right,
Following along,
Stopping only,
Just to decide,
Never questioning,
Yet...it's not,
Not the destination,
But the journey,
Take the time,
Enjoy each moment,
All there is to see,
The joys of life,
Never to just let,
Let it pass you by.

Choices

Choices we make,
Hitting a wall,
Climbing fences,
Where do we go?
What do we do?
Choices, such woe,
No map to look,
No guide to ask,
Walking life's road,
Questions remain,
Yet one thing is clear,
A choice to be made,
No matter the fears,
Certainty left behind,
Spirit undaunted,
To God, we look,
Our ever-present comfort.

Changi Airport

An icon before me, tall and proud,
Time passes, as I sat watching,
By the window, staring at clouds,
My heart would not be still,
The sound thumping, so very loud,
What would the future hold?
Words that would not come out,
Yet in Him, am I safe and found.

Victoria Hall

The sights as I walked on,
Hearing the bustle and noise,
On my way to Victoria hall,
Running passed me, boys,
A scene like old-time westerns,
The sunset and calm surety,
As my eyes look to the heavens,
Whispered a prayer as I gave thanks,
For the joy in Christ, my one and only reason.
