A Few Angry Giants

Time is a friend of mine,

She is patient with me.

She tells me not to rush.

But to take a deep breath

And find my center.

The future will unfold,

Clarity will come,

And peace will permeate.

 

I speak  this to myself  when I feel overwhelmed, When the tendency to want the answer now comes barrelling down.The beauty is in the trust during the ambiguity -When it is all in hindsight and then faith is present, well, that is like the lover who wants you after you inherit a wind-fall of money. Where was he when all was dark? When you were poor?

 

I have faith in the dark,

Faith in God and His leading.

Faith in wholeness and the messy process to get there.

Faith in myself, even when I mess up.

Faith in my own personal Promised Land.

One day at a time

I look for my cloud by day and my pillar of fire by night.

I will someday arrive,

And my sandals will still be in good shape.

i just have a few angry Giants to slay first.

I always am awestuck when I read your words of wisdom, and now I know the balance, and meaning you told me about. This is a write full of grace, and light, after and in dark times. Nice piece of work.

What lovely imagery, patience and faith that somehow faith and God is on our side guiding . Last two lines striking

This poem has it all: great imagery, you can relate, the meaning is clear, the emotion is there. There is really nothing to critique, because this was done perfectly

May we all learn to live with such a patience and faith... Your words are an honest admission, and so open to time's dancing eloquence in the world... We do not walk alone, and even though there will be things that rise against us, we can endure them one day at a time.. So lifting!

[James Paulin]

The optimism you embrace is a wonderful blend of personal responsibility and spiritual dependence in perfect balance. Time can be a relentless, unforgiving master or a servant of patience and wisdom depending on the perspective. You could easily have written three poems instead of one if you wanted to seperate the philosophies.

[Patient Poet (Yos)]
