Miracle Walks

Panic attacks in my moments and minutes

The glass shatters under the strain of my long, fierce cry At my feet, the shards pierce me

Why can’t You hear me I know You are here

My eyes stay fixed on each minute hand passing on the clock When is the time I no longer hear the ticking

Others slide through revolving doors Celebrations and photo streams of milestones met

I am barricaded alone behind my own barrage of criticisms Recognizing my pre-emptive strike to defend has lost its pressure

I close my eyes upon exhale My hand taps a rhythm on my chest to slow the beats pounding to get out

My throat loosens as panic retreats I gaze to Your Book to guide my way back

Minutes, hours, days, or years Attacking moments lose their force when remembering where You are

I track my Miracle Walks through life with You Never leaving me, even in silence or darkness

I hold sacred, Your promise, Lord As Your Spirit holds me

With assurance, the sun rises and sets Your Eternal Light stays lit for all my tomorrows
