Uphill
Matthew 7:14 14 How narrow is the gate and difficult the way that leads to life,and there are few who find it! Uphill
What a struggle … all the way uphill.
Is it worth it that steep incline?
How to get down … a scary thought
I have no brakes for the decline.
The higher up … the more empty space.
The hope I had gets lost in it.
Even high up … I’m still the same.
Too late to turn I’m sick of it.
To pray right now … to be free from harm
while after all I‘ve got me here.
Time and again … the same mistakes
“Enslaved by self”, no thoughts of fear.
In self-made circles … I travel on.
All I do is go up and down.
I should have crashed long ago
in total loss no more around.
After a fall I get patched up
in a shop not owned by man.
And here I want to climb again
to get away from now and then.
