Escalating tides

Heart is beating like the clock is ticking
A time bomb that is set to go off
All these bad habits need kicking
So the successes can takeoff

Mysterious tones ring out loud
Nestled into the fabric of life
Hesitation to determine the sound
That is meant to calm the strife

Fixated on the classic sense
Round and round we seem to go
Decisions making things tense
When we should really be in the know

These hurdles that come into frame
Never seem to quit appearing
Many tasks begin to feel the same
Will there soon be a clearing

Changes use to represent positive
Now they’ve been compromised
It has all gone downhill to the negative
As they try to hide God’s love… the ultimate prize

View

Everyone around me with their life changin’
I look in the mirror only to find similar situations
Nothing new just a stagnant race
While others continue to put smiles on their face

People getting married and having babies
Others finding good careers or graduating
I remember the days where it seemed ok
The ones where I was progressing each day

I’ve been the centerpiece to a lot of discussion
Helping people with a bit of encouragement
They needed advice so they didn’t think twice
About the doubt that could sometimes cloud their minds

I know that with each day I’m blessed
With all the successes and happiness I’ve witnessed
Just seems that it all has been lost in time
As I sit here continuing to analyze

Where has it all gone
Where in the cycle do I hop back on
This adventure never ceases to amaze
What will tomorrow do to bring change
