Getting There

---

You are very nice and I appreciate all the attention, my headphones have to go on because I struggle with word retention.  No, I can't hear what you just said, I am going to write down my rhymes instead.

I think I will buy bigger headphones tomorrow, this guy wants to keep talking to my great sorrow.   I start wondering how big they come, oh my, here she comes with his third glass of Rum.

Appearance displays success but I see loneliness in his eyes, frequent travelers understand this whether on the road or in the skies.  I don't want to be the one to fix his situation, hopefully he will take a taxi to his train station.

As this continues on I wonder do I display a look, that one night stands are what I am seeking like reading one page in a book.  

This couldn't be further from the truth, those are as unwelcome as the pulling of a tooth.

They tell us we need a seat belt to keep our lives safe, but when life is crashing around us what holds you in place? There have been times my wild heart full of joy, was broken into pieces just like a forgotten toy.  

How did I do it, how did I hang on, when tears filled my nights until the breaking of dawn.  When moonlight so beautiful in my eyes, reminds me of a things that shouldn't  have burned out like a star 

falling from the sky.

In the middle of the darkest hours my mouth begins to smile, thinking about how much my Savior loves me and it stretches about a mile.  My heart slows down feeling a peace about my life, nothing has really changed and I sense the pain is closely swirling by.

A peace that passes all understanding stands between me and that pain, truth buried deep in my heart reminds me in this strength and faith I will gain.   How dire the thoughts those with no Savior must be, when in the middle of their darkness there is no faith to calm their heart's raging seas.  

So does the seat belt save us, maybe yes or maybe no, when it is all crashing around you only God really knows.  Hanging on to the armrest through the bumps and bruises in the sky, you'll find no drug or person will calm you when you feel like your heart is gonna die. .

Waves and water they come and they go, sometimes swiftly and sometimes slow. It takes time for sailors to be able to understand how currents flow, allowing them to chart the best way for their ships to go.

Undertows, just like a gravity can take you by surprise, depending on how powerful both can bring fear to your eyes.  Do you give in and let it sweep you away, or do you swim against it knowing today is not the day?

When the moon and stars are hidden from a sailor's eyes and clouds hide the charts nature provides, they questions why.  On and off the charted trip a ship will go, confused about its direction without beams from the moon and star's shimmering glow.

But then....here comes the sun with it's sparkling diamonds delighting weary eyes, allowing the sailor to course correct after surviving the long dark night.  Onward does the little ship go, where it will end up...well only God knows.
