…screws n bolts
…in my silenced depression;
tucked away in a room with a peek of nights’ darkness slipping thru a broken blind;
im at war with the curiosity of life beyond earth, with a bundle of innocence laying beside me-
but how does the mind lose hope with a God who said “become”
and all became?
billions amongst us, and hundreds upon hundreds are planning their last exhale at the very second of this second-
but when did screws n bolts outweigh the king of kings?
the homes that hold our families, the cars we enter without thought- elevators, escalators, planes, etc-
screws n bolts, screws n bolts-
oh what have we become, that we chase an end and flee a God?
with faith unintentionally higher in man made objects, than the creator himself-
screws n bolts, screws n bolts-
late night drives on screws n bolts-
self driven cars on screws n bolts-
homes holding families with screws n bolts; turning keys without a second guess- sitting on foundations of Jehovah Jireh, yet lacking the strength to pray- maneuvering planes and vehicles, yet no maneuver of faith-
screws n bolts, screws n bolts-
oh but it hurts- i know it hurts; even now on my own foundation of him-
how empty a room can feel in a world of billions- to suffocate in air, while convincing the suffering to believe in more-
but we must remember that we are not alone in our moments-
tucked away in rooms with a peek of nights’ darkness slipping thru broken blinds-
we must learn to naturalize prayer, hope, and faith in our precious El Shaddai; as we do with the simplicity of a turned key to an engine-
as we do with screws n bolts, without thought-
so wherever you may be, and whomever you are…
you deserve your tomorrows-
the mysterious wonders that are in store, and the blessings that are pre written to find you-
that are pre written to find me too-
so defeat your mental wars my darlings,
and live.
i love you.
