Poetry
So very slow on the uptake,
I wanna hit my life’s brakes.
Just step out of it, take in the breeze.
To step away from this disease.
The climb, so hard to take a breath.
Wanting to stop and take a rest.
But if I did, I’m sure I’d drop,
Fall asleep, a timeless nod.
Seems so hard to stop and smile.
I last did that back many a mile.
If I laughed, I’d carry on.
I’d love to laugh ‘til I’m undone.
Even a cry would help me so.
It might even help me grow.
The sun comes up and goes away.
No words left, nothing to say.
An uptake of another kind comes,
Time’s brakes stop my tiring run.
I’m lightning flashing through the breeze,
Flying away from the disease.
Climbing so easy, can’t catch my breath,
I’m moving up, finding my rest.
Loving the flight not fearing a drop.
My past falls asleep, eternal nod.
Seems so hard to stop my smile.
Seems I’m forgetting all my miles.
I start to laugh, it carries on.
Laughing and laughing, I’m redone.
Then comes a cry, freeing me so.
It seems I need to no longer grow.
I’m with the Lord, not going away.
His sight leaves me with nothing to say.
