Moving For The Sake Of Motion

I can see my breath tonite
Reminding me im still breathing

Its funny how you forget the small things
And emotions and words start fleeting

I am my own
What a misconception

I am nothing
Holy Spirit my only infection

I shed this skin
And clothe in His glory

Because my pages are blank
And would rather live according to His story

Understand I am just a visitor
I'm not here for long

I'll be content if I touch one life
Or only sing one song

But God wait just one more day
There's so much to be done

The battle is raging
And yet the war is already won

So give me another minute
an hour or year

Just long enough to send a prayer
to rid this world of hate and fear

Reign in me
And reign alone

So that I may reap the harvest
From the many seeds sewn

But for now you have me here
Hands tied and mouth closed

For what reason i cannot express
Only you can know

So I pray without ceasing, and with no notion
God help move for the sake of motion

Good job Manuel. Got the tune to go with it?

I'm proud of y'all.

Wow, ummm, who wants to follow that?? I think that you've pretty much got! Your poem does sound like music. I'm so proud of the eagerness you chase after God with.
