will I take a risk


will I take a risk,
will I take a chance,
to follow my dreams
to let it all hang out

will I stay stuck
wallowing in regrets;
will I rise, will I soar,
to fulfill my hopes, my prayers

haunted by echoes – v2


dreams unfulfilled
paths not taken
haunted by echoes
of unanswered prayers
of steps not taken

dreams still waiting
my heart heavy, broken
fears too great yet
frozen, not moving,
stuck in one place

dreams not forgotten
carried in my heart still
though as yet unmet
time yet remaining
before death, the grave

my thumbprint in my worry stone – v2


working that same itch
over and over again;
forever frozen, fearful
my thumbprint in my worry stone
carving a trench, a groove,
like water chipping rock

in our fear we are frozen
unable to serve, to work
for the kingdom, for God;
holding onto our past,
our history, the stones
we carry in this life, our walk
