i am everywhere all at once

and nowhere at the same time 

i have everything in the palm of my hands

but nothing that is truly mine

i hold onto the promises of tomorrow

clinging to what could be

is it possible i will wake up

and this would all have been a dream

i long for a place unseen

somewhere there’s no time that will tell

a place where i can soar freely

and emerge from my hardened shell

above the clouds i will drift

into a land not so far away

if i die before i wake

all but my truth will decay

if my destiny was written in the stars

i will religiously thank my creator

when i am greeted by the shadow of death

i will emerge into something greater

i no longer hold onto fear

for that which is unseen 

i have found the promise of peace

in the place in between 

“The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” -Philippians 4:7
