Chunks of Things in the Mental Blender at Night
~ ~ ~
Big emotions
Blend far too much at night
Face contortions
Flicker in candlelight
Blown proportions
Waft through door cracks
Misguided notions
Frightening and dangerous
Potions
Massage heart’s cross lobes
Lotions
Rub weary disappointments
Projections
Dance as elongated shadows
Affections
Are they right or infected?
Elections
Polls pop in precincts of stinky thoughts
One vote for this
Another vote for that
Results skewed in rinds
of eloping mind
Grind it all up
for some kind of noisy smoothie
in the night…

It's in the quiet that everything tries to creep in like a chaotic train, but morning chases it away with new thoughts. 😇😊☀️ “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,” II Corinthians 10:4-5 NKJV “Be strong and of good courage, for you must go with this people to the land which the Lord has sworn to their fathers to give them, and you shall cause them to inherit it. And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.”” Deuteronomy 31:7-8 NKJV
