I am mesmerized by the sky. it is in the middle of the ocean, that I can see the grace of God. It captures a longing for me to find absolute peace. It is the only time that my soul is totally settled. Being on the Ocean is the closest that I can physically get to the heavens, while I am here on earth. God knows that I am in constant search of finding who he wants me to become. My heart opens deeper than the sea, so that I may receive every blessing that is to be bestowed on my life. I know the power that God has over every faint worry or care that I have in this world. It rests in me, letting everything old go, and readying my life for the "New." Instead of throwing my worries to the wind, I pretend that I can majestically send them high into the sky. There is a resting place there for them. The sky is most empty, except for the beautiful clouds. My eyes can spiritually consume the absolute, desolate space of eternity for moments at a time. Sometimes, I can see two birds circling around in a formation of perfection. I secretly pretend that they are my personal messengers. They are near, but they are far enough away to lift my burdens to their resting place. My prayers will leave my spirit once I turn my back away from the heavens. I am certain that my deliverance is imminent, and that my soul will release my heart desires with every slight movement of the clouds. I believe that my heart is shaped by the sound of the wind, the waves that are beating against the ship with precise harmony, and the view up to the heavens. There is nothing that I can fear. As my life goes on into the new year. I will forever place my cares to him. My spirit has taken a beating with the passing of each year. My Joy has been compromised, and the threat of my peace has been provoked by the insanity of the powerless psychos that have attempted to find their way to me, through the small creases of my soul that have been under construction. I am currently on my journey back. It has taken a ship, a sky, two birds, an ocean, and a miracle for me and all of my loved ones to make it safely to 2017. Thank God I believe in miracles.
