Walk in the Woods
Abstract: Withdrawal
A poem, addressing the withdrawal and my need for it.
Do I hide from people, or am I discreet,
unwilling to plaster myself high on the wall,
and loudly proclaim my talents to the room?
Given the facts my laugh is loud and my body round,
I do not hide from anyone.
Do I withdraw? Yes.
What’s the difference? Well…
One is ashamed and the other is self-care.
Adam hid. Jesus withdrew…often.
And, in my aim to be like the Lord,
I too withdraw, to find the ground,
strengthen my spirit in His,
and return to the fight,
every bit myself,
in the all the glory He has for me.
