Time Has No Hold On Me

by Janielle - 8:36 PM

There are days that I feel like

I’m running out of time.

And so – I live.

With a great sense of urgency,

Yet without hurry.

And miraculously,

With overwhelming peace.

When you realize that time is short,

You don’t exist in ambiguity,

You live with clear intentions.

I can say simply that out of everything and everyone in my life,

God has given me the clearest intentions

In my foggiest moments.

He is my Wayfinder, my True North,

And I’m unashamed to say that without Him

I’d be hopelessly lost

And utterly dead to my soul.

So – I’m running out of time,

Because I am in this world.

But, time is a mere fraction of a journey that

Spans across galaxies

Into light years

Beyond

Imagination.

And so – I’m running out of time;

But I shall live

Time

Has no

Hold on me.
