Poetry
One Certainty
(The confession of a music artist)
Many people are disappointed in me
They say I should have made it
That I have to make it
Make it?
Make it to where?
No matter how fast I run or how far I go, this will still end the same
I will eventually die
Or should I now say live? …
Yes live!
So, what to do?
How can they understand?
How can I?
Since yesterday is gone
I concede only to Today
The Day He has set apart long ago
After this, what is left is only the time in between then and now
And if I should run during, as so many do
To nothing more than that of contemptible desire
Then I will miss what is at my side
When you travel at high speed you tend to see nothing but a blur
Gain becomes loss
Accomplishment fades to haze
Until all that is left is the residue of an image once called “you”
My searching has left me with the remnant of one certainty
Only the word of God stands forever!
So that will now be my primary goal
My concluding focus
My sole purpose
If music is first in my life then I am as lost as if my aim was fame or money
Worth resides in what the music says and why He spoke this to me
Value measured in its capability
When it opens a door
Opens an ear
Opens an eye for those to truly see
Only then does it possess meaning
The derivation of it is my worth
My identity
The source of it is my gift
My God
The author of it is forever more
My Savior
I, even I, Am He (Isaiah 43:25)
