Road ahead narrows

Stumbling with each step

Burdened with mistrust

Lack of faith, leads to missteps

 

Spirit joins each step

Uplifting at dawn

Life’s route flattens out

Mercy calling out, hang on

 

Tomorrow arrives

Trusting in God’s grace

River passing through

Each faithful step, keeping pace

 

Wilderness watered

Blossoming new leaves

Harvest steps forward

Deliverance, wrapped in sheaves

 

Eyes focused on Christ

Leading steps with love

Journey energized

Guided, by Spirit above

Fragile, yet unbroken

Remaining soft-spoken

 

Perplexed, yet answers found

Feeling free, homeward bound

 

Deadlocked, yet finding key

Moving on, let it be

 

Homeless, yet seeing light

Making nightly campsite

 

Troubled, yet finding peace

Forging life’s brand new lease

 

Hidden, yet discovered

Finding future covered

 

Misplaced, yet always found

Sleeping on softest ground

 

Wounded, yet walking free

Earning final degree

 

Useless, yet finding worth

Flying high above earth

 

Hungry, yet always fed

Tasting life’s daily bread

 

Shortchanged, yet now fulfilled

Making steps, always thrilled

 

Forgotten, yet now loved

Sharing days with beloved

I have a healthy appetite for solitude.  If you don’t, you have no business being a writer.

Always carry a notebook.  And I mean always.  The short-term memory only retains information for three minutes; unless it is committed to paper you can lose an idea forever.

Will Self (born 1961) is an English author and journalist.  He has written numerous published works, which include novels, shorter fiction collections, novellas, and non-fiction collections.

There is no secret to success, except hard work and getting something indefinable which we call “the breaks.”

For we must be one thing or the other, an asset or a liability, the sinew in your wing to help you soar, or the chain to bind you to earth.

Countee Cullen (1903-1946) was an American poet and novelist, who made a significant impact during the Harlem Renaissance.
