It Is Time To Grow


When external forces bring internal turmoil
Desperation and confusion rule the day
Desires of the heart beat in tandem, stoking the fire
but just what is this puzzle?

Do we give in or fight?
What is better?
What is best?
Where does the answer lie?
Such complexities we cannot absorb
It is beyond our capacity
Yet, slowly, fitfully
the scales are removed
Hearts grow
Souls expand

That piece that once didn't fit
now renders completion
Understanding, peace, and fullness reign
