Today’s word is “nimbus” ... cloud, aura, atmosphere, etc., surrounding a person or thing. (Dictionary.com)
Release
Uncertainty hangs like a nimbus,
follows us like Pigpen’s dust.
Confronted with this thing we
cannot change, we cope.
We ignore it. Work and entertainment.
Family and exercise. Yet it lingers.
Some of us try to fight it. To exhaustion.
To the end of our selves.
Some acknowledge and move on.
Hoping with all their might that it will
just go away.
But, as strange as it seems, some believe
there is a way to move beyond, a person
who can save. Who has always saved.
That beyond myth and story, there is truth.
And we are in his embrace.
