i couldn't scrounge up the change no matter how much lint i pulled out of these pockets. traffic lights flicker in synchronization with millimeters to spare between head-on collisions. and i can't ever seem to inhale without plunging into you.
three minutes later i'm standing in a puddle realizing i haven't blinked in days. and i can't seem to remember if you preferred my hair blonde or red...
Three nights lost to the commonplace time waste. Be it work or entertainment, time has waned and moments to sleep forwent. I credit my youth for weaving with exhaustion, but one can only fight so long. Despite a stretch to extend, the worthy banter simply melds into feigning lids above weary eyes. Rest always takes hold. His attack is brilliant. He bobs around throwing smooth transitions. Any and every slick sounter is ultimately struck down with mental prowess. For he presents a case so charming and so persuasive we embrace defeat willingly.
Ah, but then, upon awakening, obligation funnels into guilt for questioning an activity so needed.
The tendancy to rebel for personal gain is common; we think of our own with hopes of completing, doing, and being. Fighting sleep, for example, or that which is needed put aside in order to meet our self-gratifying desires. By trying to overcome self-awareness using personal methods, we, in turn, strengthen self absorption.
"Come to me, and I will give you rest."
THe offer stands to shift focus back towards the one of upmost importance. Christ will take the place of self. Rest given. Rest established. And completion of His activity in us due to the removal or personal want.
