Untitled Darkness

(Archived from a book in a box in the closet)

Tonight is no different than yesterdays’ night.
It is night--no more, no less……..

Minutes tossed together transform into hours.

Hours.
Hours when one is commanded to rest.....


I do not rest well these days.

I do not listen well these days.

I do not hear commands or obey... these days.


Rest will come when it comes.


Hours will not dictate that.
Darkness will not dictate that......

I have known nights like this.

they are not my favorite....

I have been recently thinking about obedience and lack of the same....although I can not claim that I do not hear...

Keep on, keeping on, Mel, and don't stop for anything or anyone.

This post sums up how it is right now, day and night. Sometimes good and sometimes bad and each gives something to my life. Although it may take a while for me to spot what if I've been awake most of the night!
I love the words below as well, definately what I aspire to as I don't have a faith and look to me to find my way by doing the best I can.
