Stop! I need to get off

Dizzy from all the spinning

in a life that is caught in a vortex

Fuzzy from a lack of sleep,

the tiredness written in deep lines

on my face

Crazy from the piercing screams of

a society lost in its own perversity

And so I jump, caught as if in slow motion,

from the monstrosity of a materialistic,

Machiavellian world

And land in the arms of my Savior

Amazing Love

Amazing Grace

Amazed at how

He took my place

A/N: This work was inspired by the memory of the sensation of speed and dizzyness from being on a playground spinning merry-go-round as a young child. But as an adult there is often no slowing down, no getting off, just endless repetition and meaninglessness.

But with Jesus, a nail-scarred hand reaches down and gently slows the madness to a stop. Not that we will not face challenges in the future, but rather we are assured of the Master's hand to keep us and hold us through it all.
