Waiting

I follow my breath

In....

out...

waiting.

restless but still.

trying to dwell.

Not taking control.

Not manipulating.

Not orchestrating.

Just waiting.

Just being.

I follow my breath.

in...

out...

Called to be still and know

that I am not God.

Only in knowing God

can I be changed.

Not in doing. Not in striving.

Just in being. in His presence

waiting.

waiting for Him to come near

to blow off the cloud that envelops me

named Fear.

He'll hold out His hand,

and ask me to dance.

But first I need to wait.

Be still enough for Him to draw closer.

So He can change me

and give me courage to dance.

And so I wait

and follow my breath.

in......

out.....

in....

out....
