The Choice Is Yours

The tide came to my shores To tell me a story of the deep waters of the spirit There is an awesome God inside each and every one of us We cannot lie down in hopelessness We cannot grieve even in the midst of unforetold suffering We have to disrobe ourselves of our fear We have to find the depth of our spirit Whether in prayer or Silence We have to unbutton our consciousness We have to be clear of any impurities We have to drink from the well of living waters The choice is ours to make To choose hope over hopelessness The tyranny of time is not our concern The beauty within is our only strength It's our duty to be still amidst the turmoil To hold hope above our own understanding The next tide will come soon To give us the good news ©Kenneth Maswabi
