Equilibrium Poem by Danny Speicher

The fog lifts beyond the hazed horizon
Morning illuminates the darkest night
And the fears I have now begin to fade
My faith returns that things will be alright

In my soul worry and fret lingers, still
But, God is replacing mistrust with trust
Realization... life would be lonely
If I believed no one... So, I must

Thoughts of friends rallying in prayer for me
Has kept this frail heart beating through the strife
And memories of life, love and laughter
Have helped me to keep perspective on life

Happiness is simply an illusion
Which no one can, alone, hope to attain
But, joy is fruit of a spirit that trusts
And, when trusting God, that fruit will remain

So, happiness, I do not have within
But, equilibrium I've found through joy
Fear, bit by bit, being replaced with trust
And, God, His grace, He lovingly deploys

I'll find joy in life, with God in control
Even when darkest nights, upon me, fall
I know I can rely on my Savior
To be my Rock, Shelter... My All in All
