Why do I talk
the mean words,
Lazy words
words that don’t 
change the world
Words that circle
the drain and just slip away
Words that have
no power to change,
Words that chain
locks on circumstances
Words that hurt
others and myself
Words that just fill time
Leak time
Waste time
Waste life.

Can I be honest?
Can I be open?
Can I talk to God?

Can I ask God
for a touch of heaven
on Earth?
The changes of heaven
brought to Earth?
A release of
what is happening?
So here I am
talking to God,
Praying
Opening the situation,
Believing in the 
next steps,
Hearing His call
Hearing His voice
Seeking to know His direction
Stepping with God
By Talking to God
Praying with God.

Starting Thoughts: Does God seem far away? Is talking to Jesus just echoes in life's canyon? The questions of prayer, of just simply trying to talk to Jesus rather than wasting time on negative talking and thinking.
