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.
