INSPIRE ME THURSDAY

Today's Thursday is turning out to be rather blissful. I awoke to clear blue skies and in a fine mood. Awesome. I love days like these where my soul feels stirred. As I'm awaiting to escape into the beauty of today, I wrote a little something to the "Door" theme on Inspire Me Thursday. Go check it out... hopefully it'll motivate you in some form or fashion. Here's where my mind drifted... Enjoy!

I squint through skeptic eyes
On one side.

On the other side
Fear studies me back.

I feel my heart quicken
On one side.

On the other side
Fear motivates the growing anxiousness.

I feel my confidence stumble
On one side.

On the other side
Fear clings to my voiceless insecurities.

I fall to my knees overwhelmed
On one side

On the other side
Fear’s hot blinding light pierces through.

I kneel to get a glimpse of what is beyond
On one side.

On the other side
Fear shows me why I’m scared.

I tremble with clammy hands
On one side.

On the other side
Fear taunts and teases.

I breath deeply to gather my confidence and strength
On one side.

On the other side
Fear’s shining light begins to fade.

I grasp the doorknob with clammy hands
On one side.

On the other side
Fear is cold and diminishing.

I slowly turn and step through
The door that separates
My confidence and fear.


SIGNED: DOOR OF FEAR
