uncertainty
by Elouise
silence tiptoes
through the valley
searches for truth
hidden beneath
veiled madness
reverberating
through airwaves
relentless and
undisciplined
first one thing
and then another
without rhyme
or reason
torn into pieces
lives and hearts
skip beats waiting
for the next
moment to fall
redefining
everything
That’s how I’m feeling today. Listening to POTUS talk about the corona virus, it seems he’s making it up as he goes along from one day to the next. Picking and choosing what he thinks someone out there wants to hear? Wanting to show he’s in charge?
I’m reminded again that my life isn’t defined by POTUS. Yes, his behavior and undisciplined mind and feelings matter. Yes, he makes what’s already difficult even more difficult.
Still, he doesn’t have the power to define who I am. Today is Sunday. A day to be wise, truthful and happy as I learn to enter the fray one fiery sunrise after another.
Parts of Psalm 23 come to mind, reworded a bit.
Because You alone are leading me,
I have more than enough
to walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
especially when I fear I don’t have
what I need to get from here
to the end of my earthly journey.

Telling the Truth 
I love your rewording of Psalm 23. “… You alone are leading me …. especially when I fear I don’t have what I need …” so well said.

POTUS only succeeds in exposing himself as pathetic, imvho. No coherent policy, idea, not even a hope of one. One runs out of words about it, and finds consolation in the wisdom of silent reflection, which can tell us so much.
Lots of hugs! 😀 😀 ♥

Hi, Fran! Thanks for your comment. Turning to wise words of others does indeed help focus my energy and emotions. It’s so easy to get caught up in the turmoil, especially with so much at stake. Thanks, too for the hugs, which I return in full measure! 🙂
