Give me time to settle
Psalm 119:176
176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep;
Seek Your servant, for I do not forget Your commandments.
Give me
Give me time to settle … ideas will come in a flash.
Order them from Seattle … or buy them with some cash.
Where can I get some freely ... where is the heap discarded?
Should I request this dearly … or thank the departed?
Filling a page with words … thinking to be original,
like a lost one in a herd … prepared for carnival.
Attitude of a clown … dressed up for the part
or really dressing down … to an empty heart.
Listening to the rain … soft clatter on the roof
what is there to gain … when everybody moves?
Driving towards the sun … blinded by the glare
drowning all but done … in tears from anywhere.
Jan Wienen
