Nothing Out, Nothing In

In the deepest part of our soul
Our most sacred thoughts live
Love, passion, joy
Disappointment, insecurity, anxiety

At our most vulnerable, we share these thoughts
Dancing with other’s thoughts
To beautiful music, coming together
Connections are created through God

Vulnerability becomes the heartbeat of life
Opening ourselves to the Truth of God
Our light shines brightly with others
Seen and admired in all of God’s Kingdom

Fear stops the music
Fear stops the dancing
Fear stops the sharing
Beautiful thoughts, trapped in our souls

Alone in our silence
Looking for a dance, searching for the music
That will allow us to feel the beauty of God
Our light so dim, it slowly burns out

Fear is cruel, does not discriminate
Hard as steel, deep as an ocean
Protects us from vulnerability
Sits with us so we are not alone

Tricks us into letting nothing out
Mocks us as we let nothing in

We miss the music, we miss the dance
We miss the connections
We miss God
We miss purpose and Truth

Fear has won
Nothing Out, Nothing In
