Advent: Day Eight

Psalm 26

"...I have led a blameless life...I have trusted in the LORD without wavering...I walk continually in Your truth..."


Coughing and shifting,
hymnals and heads buried
in the hunched up folds of
my downy blanket of blank devotion.

Hoodies and pencil scratchings,
but they are so unburdened by surety.

Life is supposed to lie
there, senselessly next to them,
then suddenly roll over and crush them.
It is expected and i tell them so.

It in certainty can crush me, so
i long to stay away from giving reasons...

But my chair rolls and my computer
has keys, and my arrogance can't make
bold statements because of itself.
Nothing is continual, it's shifting and wavering.
