tension

by. rsj

i am light but heavy

smiling, grasping

distilling the essence

of this moment, containing

i am full but hungry

pleased yet searching

relaxed but restless

calm but on edge

i am confident but hesitant

desiring but unable

fearless yet falling

belonging but alone

i am happy and sad

hurting but glad

because every time i nearly faint

afraid

i am too badly wounded

You call me to brace the storm 

once again,

"peace.. be still"

"..and know that I am God"

“And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm” Mark 4:39

“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” Psalm 46:10
