By John F. Zurn
Loneliness
Sometimes loneliness wins out, and nights feel like forever. Then my faith begins to doubt that God is really present. In the morning in the light, my fitful thoughts recede. Yet loneliness does not seem right If love is all I need.
Weathering Storms
When the storms of life begin, I wander in my misery. Thunder clouds obscure the sun, and winds of doubt pass over me. In these times of violent gales, self-pity soon consumes my thoughts. Then I toss away my sails and steer around my sinking heart.
Wretched Mountains
Must I scale these wretched mountains every time my life is stale? Must I face these same emotions when I need to climb this trail? I can sense the vast horizon when the summit comes in view. Just for once could I feel human and escape this stress I feel?
