Life has passed by in a blur
Like a comic book the days flick past
They merge into a single motion; the colours intermingling
The brilliant oranges, the fiery reds
The murky browns and the shadowy blacks
All splattered on the pages, telling my story
Reminding me of the intricate fabric that makes up my life
There have been good times and there have been bad times
But at all times I wait for You
Life has so many phases
It’s like changing trains
The hustle and bustle and the flustered face as you try to find your seat
The cold, unfamiliar eyes that stare back at you
Life refuses to stay constant
Like a restless child, it can’t stay still for a second
It shakes the foundations underneath your feet
And all that you were used to falls away
But at all times I wait for You
And yet life can feel so static
Like you stuck in a frozen frame
Like the track is stuck on repeat
Monotony has stripped everything down to grey
Like damp paint peeling from the walls
Everywhere you look you see mirrors,
The same, pale reflection of life in every one
You search for meaning behind what you do
And the answer disappoints
What happened to the adventures of life?
The wild explorations and the sudden surprises
It can be so easy to become discontent
But at all times I wait for You
Dark days
They punctuate life at various intervals
Like daggers piercing the skyline; they take up the view
The sun dims and the clouds seem darker and thicker than before
The way you look at life changes
You realise that pain could be around every corner
Life doesn’t seem as stable
It is easy to let the dark, whispering mists occlude your view
To let them blind you from the truth
But at all times I wait for You
I don’t know what is on the next page of life
I don’t know how it will all unfold
But I know that You do
And I know that You will lead me
That is why I wait
Though the colours are still mixed
The bright amongst dark
I know that at the end You will wipe every tear
And only the good will remain
