Step Two

To climb up without a ladder,
stepping into sweat. You are sorry
for your mistakes but wonder
is the climb back worth it…

We come to believe there is a path
back, a solution worth the work.
Open minds yield results, we sit still
and let the light enter—

The temptation is to go with people’s
flow, go here, go there, listen to
that man’s voice, another’s hot air,
before you get lost in expectation, stop
the game—

Slow it down, go home, read a book!

Sanity, a neighbor of gratitude, is restored
the moment you depend on God
not human power.

Put the money down, bet everything on
God and watch the peace roll in
