Nowhere Is Somewhere

I'm silenced God
My thoughts are rushing
So many thank yous
Nerves pressing in
My stomach is tight
A headache is surfacing

The time to think is good
Quiet stillness heals
Your presence commands
a patient outlook
and a humble perspective
Lord, you are right

What's next
Your plans for me
Not knowing
can be wisdom
To seek your face
You, God, find and hold me

New energy comes
Lord, your resources are deep
You take meager things
and produce fruit
Out of nowhere blessings flow
Nowhere is somewhere

To adequately thank you
seems impossible
In spite of my limits
Lord, Your love is pure
Nowhere is somewhere
That somewhere is You

Amen
