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.

Very well written!
ReplyDeleteWhen I read this, I think about several things...One, being the "influence" of the world through music. Digging deeping into that, I think about walking through life dancing to the "beat" of the world. I agree...do you clap your hands or fold your hands to pray? The line has been crossed beyond belief. You don't know if praises are being sung or if people are excecuting the actions of blasphemy.
