Butterfly Feelings






Are you feeling butterflies right now
Emotions flying, causing havoc somehow
Its difficult to describe or even pin down
but they don't bring a smile just a frown

its the nervous thoughts that we cannot grab
But expressing them, let's have a stab
All normalities have disappeared
Alone with our thoughts, we have feared

These feelings are low rather than high
Stranded here as time goes by
Verbalising or writing is complex
Speaking these feelings can make us vexed

It can be painful and hard
As some thoughts leave us scarred
Some memories and fears attack
They make us feel quite off track

It feels as though we are trapped and cold
A listening friend is as precious as gold
What is needed is kindness and time
A friend who listens is sublime

Yet even if it feels very dark and alone
You are not imprisoned in this zone
A word from above holds the truth
"I am with you" from before your youth

Cry to above in your distress
And you will find help in this mess
As the psalmist said in past years
God has freed me from all my fears

Choices

Image
I have many options to choose in life They can lead to joy or strife Options appear every day Choices, I make set the way Consequences are profound on what I select The decision I make can have a great affect Following my own wants and desires May not lead to the best that is required As I process it can be a struggle I have many options that I juggle Its my life and I am the boss But this mindset can cause a great loss It can bring an inner turmoil in my head Mental gymnastics, multiple thoughts spread As I tussle with the pros and cons Whether to make the best choice and walk on It's up to me and my choice, Yet a different way has a voice This way is to pause and consider Thinking of others is much bigger In our hearts may love reign As selfish thoughts just drain Choices we make effect everything Thinking of others gives life a spring
