Up In The Air

Up In The Air

A Poem by Melinda McQueen

Up In The Air

 

Feeling out of control

With nowhere to go,

The world keeps turning

And the inner light keeps burning.

 

Floating on a thin breeze,

Blown by a whisper at a soft keep.

Things can be hard to bare

And everything seems to be up in the air.

 

An invisible string pulled tight,

I’m balancing on the line.

Feeling the wind of life beat,

Into it I lean.

 

All I want seems out of my reach,

Still, I believe.

I know God hears my prayer

When I throw my hands up in the air.

 

In the night I call,

Feeling my dreams with my all.

Like a balloon bursting when reaching its heights,

May my joy too, rise.

 

Let me find His grace

In whatever I face.

I’m trusting the Lord with my every care,

Like the birds up in the air.

"Let me find His grace
In whatever I face.
I’m trusting the Lord with my every care,
Like the birds up in the air."

He acts in His timing and His way. The voice of God can be heard within your spirit.
we just need to learn how to plug our selves in

Where would we be without Him to lean on and talk to. I love the strength of your faith. Valentine
