Life gets impossible

After everything has been tried and considered

A time comes when there is nowhere else to turn

Tears fall into the bowl on the floor

As prayers splash out in anguish

Life feels impossible

When will we get bailed out 

The dog pees in the corner

The humidity gets unbearable

Hell gets hotter

We want to run

We look in the mirror and it cracks

We fall backwards into a hole that we wish would cover us up

There are others counting on us

And we are counting on ourselves

The day does not end

Sleeping only leads to sleeping more

We soak in our own sweat

We know longer taste our dinner

We scream for help

Silence laughs at us

What has been bad gets worse

We run in circles

We try anything

We offer the gods our first-born

The wall will not move

It is when we give up

that along comes an answer

Be calm as life adjusts itself

It knows what it needs

It can center itself after a hurricane

It can find rain where there is drought

It can recover itself and it will

Therefore when you hit the wall

do nothing but trust

do not move, or try, only wait

The prayer is in the patience
