Here is another poem of mine. I hope you enjoy and feel uplifted in some way.

Not a minute too soon
I see the snow is turning to ice
My plans are solidifying

The drink is sweating
I must move now
But this gravity I’m fighting

I’m a mouse looking for a way outside
But there is something I don’t know
Temptations are everywhere

My hands aren’t tied
My lips aren’t sealed
But I have an itch in my ear

I am listening to all this outside noise
I am yearning for some answers
So I move towards others’ words

But it leaves me empty
It doesn’t happen to apply to me
And I take it over the Lord’s

If the answers lie within
Mine are dormant
Or they are just waking up slowly

I want to open up the blinds of my soul
But they have been asleep too long
Will my eyes adjust to the light within me?
