Lost in space


Psalm 51:5 

5 Look, I was guilty of sin from birth,
a sinner the moment my mother conceived me.

`

Lost in space

 

Here again a moment interrupted unexpectedly

Uncommon things can happen in a sudden flash

Reactive interpretation can show vehemently

The state of heart as the flesh and Spirit clash

 

What is within our structure we don’t understand?

What makes us stand or fall in thought to mention?

We will hit the foundation and possibly rock or sand

As the last could hurt the most sinking in perplexion

 

Is falling not a habit we can’t live without?

Is standing a position, we by self can’t handle?

What is it with the flesh that it sows much doubt?

And in many ways, the Truth tries to mangle

 

Human nature at its worst seems the best we can do

If we rely on self constantly to come up with the answers

Croaking in spiritual thirst and searching for some clue

In the flesh to discover darkness within a growing cancer

 

Braking in or breaking out now becomes the same solution

All energy used and wasted to stay in the same place

Spinning around in circles filled with embraced pollution

Thinking understanding will come freely to our chosen space
