a thought of a poem.

_it feels like everything is over.

_it is

and _ it has only begun.

_ emptiness isn't absence

and darkness isn't night.

_ hope is quiet.

_ pain isn't a sign of death

and sadness isn't a sign of hurt.

_ both are signs of life and health.

_ God speaks.

_ i listen.

and _ i stop listening

and lay still enough to hear.

_ i hear God saying follow me

and so i try to follow Him

only to realize He was saying don't move.

sometimes sometimes is always.
