Thursday Thoughts

The Foggy Mountains

It’s rainy and cold outside,
So much I need to say

I keep a lot of things in my heart

So people don’t turn away.

Sometimes I let it out in words

So they will understand

What it’s like to live each day

In an unpromised land.

I read, I stitch, I play music,

In hopes to ease my mind

Of what the fog brings me

From time to time.

Every day brings on joy and challenges

The difference is really a choice

To grab a hold of the joy

And leave the rest unvoiced.

So, look at the mountains

And what they really do tell

The rains from the Heavens

And the fog from the Hell.

Choosing the rain from the Heavens

Is what I plan to do

And whatever it takes in life

to simply see me through.

The mountains teach us lessons

We all could follow well

If we only could see through the fog

Of the rest, we would call our Hell.

On brighter days when sunshine

beam down from the Heavens bright

I remember who made me intricately

and who will always hold me tight.

Just like the mountains that stand tall,

firm, and resistent

I will live my life in the sunshine

and not choose the distance.
