Slumgullion

Today's word is "slumgullion" ... A stew of meat, vegetables, meat. A beverage made weak or thin.

Assured
There is an invisible kingdom,
Here where we wake every day,
Where we can take part in things done,
That mark us as part of the way.

This world that we breathe in so near,
Cries out for help and for hope,
For the peace of life without fear,
And secrets used by believers to cope.

It's hard to choose from the slumgullion,
Of thoughts that wash us around,
To believe that one is the whole truth,
And proclaim that's indeed what you've found.

But the peace that you seek lies in part,
When you give up finally with sighs,
Admitting your sorrow of heart,
And releasing the confusion of whys.
