The Dog Days of summer are
just about gone,
And school bells are ready
to ring,
And life in the fast lane
begins once again,
Who knows what that future
will bring?
Already our calendars
start to fill up
With all sorts of things
we must do.
And why we’re so busy is
anyone’s guess,
For many, we haven’t a
clue.
Perhaps it’s the pace of a
fast growing world.
Perhaps it’s because of
our dread
Of sitting alone without something
to do
Or because of some stuff
that we read.
To sit and be idle without
our TV’s,
Or cellphones or computer
screens
Suggests that we’re
somehow afraid
Of the noise in our minds
that occasionally screams.
A noise that suggests we’re
alone and afraid,
Disconnected and cut off
from life;
A jumble of thoughts that
well up from our soul
Which reveal inner turmoil
and strife.
Our so busy world is
afraid of a place
Where silence can speak to
within,
A place where the rhythm
of life can be heard,
Where deep thoughts can
get under our skin.
With questions like “Why”,
of purpose and need,
Asking for meaning and
light,
A place where the voice of
God can be heard
That pierces the darkness
of night.
Before summer ends and the
race gets it start,
Take time to just sit and
release
All the noise of our
culture that fills up our lives,
And discover the joy of
God’s…
Peace,
Alex
