Days seem to
get longer.

Always trying to
find energy

to fuel
my spirit,

mind
and body.

People going
back and forth.

We are
all tired

of trying
to find

a path
somewhere.

Tired of
running

in
circles.

Suddenly
I wish

I could wiggle
my nose

or blink
my eyes

to make
things happen.

Sometimes
I wish

we could
take charge

of time
then realize

some things
are best

done
by God.
