Not Left

If not one knows the day, time or hour, why do we still follow and live off of the predictions of man, one who misguides us away from Autumn sunshines into cloudy May showers. Must it take the end to help us realize what we failed to do in the beginning? Yet even now we use our ignorance to justify our desires to continue sinning. Lets us open our eyes, so we are not blind leading the blind. For we know if we fulfill God's purpose, there should be no worries about being left behind...

Wishing

Wishing on a star, sounds good but it may not change who you are. Wishing on a dream, at times makes our life not as hard as it seems. Coming in before the street light comes on, taking all precautions to prevent all possible wrong. Capturing each moment, praying that it's not our last. So focused looking behind us, the current moment  has now become our past. Stutter stepping to the beat of the "influential,"  not mindful of what these beats may lead us into.  Unsure if I should clap my hands or fold them to pray, for these very beats may bring me closer to my dying day. Which star then holds my wish to stay alive? Which dream then will reveal the ways in which I can survive? These things we may never know, but when asked "why faith?" we can tell them "because the Bible tells me so." And look beyond those beautiful stars and that one wish, instead praise the Holy one who surpasses it.
