Calm

Calm

Rage and anger burns us inside
partly destroying our souls
Hurt, pride, shame, humiliation.
Fear, stress... don't let them win.

Sometimes I can't work out why
I'm plauged by those feelings
It is when I'm reflecting that I gradually deflate
back to a state I can see clearly.

It is only then I realise what I'm truly feeling
not anger, but a chronic case of fear
What if my world comes tumbling down?
Will my misery kill me this time?

The only way I can find calm is to realise
that in the grand scheme of things I am a mere pin prick
A lucky, privellaged, insignificant being
Given the gift of life.

I look up to the stars in heaven and smile
Breathe slowly in and out.
I know God is watching over me
What is meant to be will be.

He gives me a good reason to be calm
This is what he told me when I prayed:-
"For there is more to appreciate
than you will ever know."


Still work in progress
