NOWHERE - POEM of the MONTH!



NOWHERE

Now here I breathe
 And nowhere I find
A regret of then
 Or a future outlined

My plans fade to mist
 But I dwell on them,
Then nowhere have I gone
 But in anxious mayhem
 
Image by Christine Douglas, taken outside Lowestoft England
So where do I stand
 Now in the midst of You?
I turn my face upward
 And ignore my preview

And what should I see?
 Now here, or nowhere
Be it not the latter!
 Be this my only prayer –

Now here I breathe
 And nowhere I find
A regret of then
 Or a future outlined
Except by GOD’s design

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."
Philippians 4:6
