it’s been a while
since a felt that rapture
of the souls sweet smile
what with all the weather and stress
I let the mind spin into unrest
cause the spiral of bad news in life
charges the Mind with a ticket
that is way overpriced
so I just need to get back
to that center of my being
where there is no lack
it’s just some place where I give thanks
for the embrace of God’s presence here now
has the blessings I need somehow
and with a deep breath I release
the crazy stuff lifes stress can bring
and once again I feel
God is good all the time
and I’m grateful for the moment the soul smiles
that brings a peaceful state of mind
