Thought 1:

How can I just coast along,
without knowing where I'm from,
who was here before I was,
like the Man who spilled His blood,
saved the world from certain doom,
yet He's ignored, cursed and shooed,
always being thrown aside,
all along I run and hide?
How could I be worthy of
the love of One from high above?

Thought 2:

Of course as we all grow up,
we see the people run a muck.
They seem like lines upon a page,
with a glance they're all so vague.
Do you ever think: Where do they go?
Or wonder how the flowers grow?
Or how the sky can stay so blue,
when all things we do pollute?

Thought 3:

With nothing to do time drips by,
as you have nothing to occupy.
But if you have a task at hand,
time just seems at an end.
So is it that our minds warp time?
Or do we have a clock inside,
with gears that flip our universe?
Oh come now! Don't be absurd!
How could that be possible?
If it's so, who is responsible?

The end?:

I sit alone sometimes in bed,
with thoughts like these inside my head.
My clock rings out: "Tick Tock Tick",
and I wonder: What is this?
For by grace are ye saved through faith, that not of yourselves, lest any man should boast.

Nice I like the first one the best. The second one had me distracted with what work you would find to rhyme with muck. ;)

Well the explanation of this poem is sort of simple: before I understood my salvation in Christ, these are the thoughts that would enter my head. See, I have an overactive brain. I can think and process many thoughts at once and perform ordinary tasks at the same time. Before Christ is was things like that, things that sort of make no since.

It would have been very difficult to rhyme muck, would it not?

Sweet.
“The humble sinner will sometimes be interpreted as one of the filthiest in the eyes of man yet immersed in the eyes of God, and this is due to the volition of honesty regarding his own corruption.”
