He's like the lightning in the sky each time I feel it near. The beauty of its pretty color sinks beneath my fear.
Last page, final word.
There’s no more to be heard.
Written or not, it’s all been said.
No looking back. Time to move ahead.
Words follow life. Life follows not.
Put the pen down. It was just a thought.
Hush, little girl. Close your eyes.
Time to sleep. Time to fly.

Life Is a Journey, Not a Destination
God watches. God sees. God knows.
God cares. God loves. God weeps.
God embraces. God holds. God keeps.
God nurtures. God stays. God lingers.
God comforts. God whispers. God is.
God speaks. God encourages.
God teaches. God preaches.
God chooses. God sends. God provides.
God blesses. God ministers.
God reaches. God calls. God meets.
God saves. God restores. God heals.
God renews. God resurrects.
God honors. God showers.
God reconciles. God forgives.
God waits. God abides. God continues.
God shouts. God defends. God builds.
God amends. God justifies. God upholds.
God sanctifies. God tames. God does.
God frees. God cheers. God reigns.
God rules. God equips. God uses.
God prepares. God endures.
God enables. God lives. God gives.

Inspiration:
My Life is a Journey, Not a Destination color journal
If I let my pen roam the pages,
And pause a time or two,
What would occur?
What would ensue?
Would it be a line, a poem,
A story… long or short?
Would it be a romantic love ballad,
Or a quick retort?
What if the pen and ink
Flowed and flowed,
But the needed words
Just did not show?
What if the pen and ink
Were scarcely there?
Would the missing words
Find anyone to care?
What if the pen, the ink, and even the words
Were at a loss?
Would my sanity
Be the cost?
What if this rambling
That you now are reading
Were attention getters
Who were very misleading?
What if the ink
That flows without
Were whispering words
Trying to shout?
One more line
And I’ll rest the pen.
Is this the beginning
Disguised in the end?
