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.
