Holiday

Sometimes

We just need

To slow down

To walk for 2 hours

Conversation with a heart

Like yours

Meander streets

While seeking intentionality

For your life

To wander stores and look

At colours

For creativity

And inspiration

Patterns and brights

That speak and show

Of another way

To look

At this thing

Of earth

To watch the eyes

The doorway to souls

Of strangers passing

Laughing

Living

An existence so unlike

Yet so similar

To your own

To wait

And see

If the Lord will fight

The battles that bring panic

Into the heart

That desires the release

To wait

and see if stillness

Can really produce

Effectiveness

To wait

And see

The friends whose faces

Have slight wrinkles from

Months more life lived

But whose faces big smile

Have not forgotten yours

To wait

And see

And taste

And see

That God

You are so very very good

And as I take the time

To really see

Holiday can be found on a beach

But also in a city

A graduation

A store

Or a home

Because holiday

That rest

The peace

Is found

continually

unconditionally

constantly

In my Father.
