Are you brushing up on things that have gathered bits of dust?
Are you painting some new colors on your walls?
Have you purposed to examine some shortcomings you may have?
And to make some slight corrections to your flaws?
Are you happy with the happenings that surround you in your life?
Are you in the grip of grace or chasing tails?
Could it be that your sweet splendor has been covered and concealed,
and that somehow your sweet journey’s been derailed?
Does it seem to you that life is just a string of urgent “musts”—
Composed of “things” that “just demand your time!”
That where there once was such a flow, now has an “I don’t know!”
And your heart is grabbing straws or grabbing twine?
Perhaps it’s time to shift, or to find a brand new slant.
Perhaps it’s time to give your life fresh hue.
To paint some vibrant colors on the “wanting walls” of life—
Through pursuits, and gifts, and flairs uniquely YOU.
