A Letter to the Breaking

When every new day hits like another bat against your skin

it is easy to lose your ambition for tomorrow

when the world around you is a pile of rubble

that a faceless fact checker says is actually a palace

it is easy to stop believing

but maybe it is just time to change what you are believing in

what if the popularity of lies shows us that there is greater truth than what we are seeing

what if the hatred that is trending is a sign that love is a better way to be living

what if this weariness with earth is a sign that we were made for heaven

life may be hard but don’t give up on living

hope flows like fire in every breath you are breathing

your heart is beating out the rhythm you are dancing to

and as you wonder who started the drumming

don’t stop searching

for the savior that can bring salvation

who is the artist that painted the grand canvas of the sky

don’t stop looking

for the one who wrote the music that the stars are singing

the one who can who can satisfy our craving

for more than another system of human wisdom

of words echoing and fading into nothing
