The feelings after


1 Corinthians 14:8 

8 For if the trumpet makes an uncertain sound, who will prepare for battle?

 

Hard drive crash: Feelings after

 

Confused this new day … what should one expect?

Most days start out reasonable underlined with optimism.

Uncertainty now plays … mixing up some facts

tearing down the fundamental … through some criticism.

 

Looking in the mirror … I see the author of it all.

A spirit well hidden … under a smile called “helping hand”

No signs of any horror … no guilt here after all

The mirror must be kidding … I feel guilt-free in the land.

 

A place of my choosing … a dry and thirsty land

A dessert of my making … filled with desire

How can one be loosing … if one is surely scanned

into a picture for the taking … afloat on oceans of scum and mire.
