Fight or Flight

Encountering fear
We share this insight
Engrained in our being
Is to fight or to flight

And if we choose
To respond with a fight
For some situations
It’s wrong and it’s right

And standing our ground
It’s better to stay
When we face danger
We should run away

Let our response be
To pause in a prayer
To escape into being
In Your Presence here

A Prayer of Flight

A morning view
Of clouds appear
The heart is full
Of worry, fear

A flock of birds
Fly on their way
A gaze upon
Drifts soul away

And somehow sent
To view up high
My worry like
The birds pass by

And peace descends
As light surrounds
A prayer of flight
Of blessing found
