Stability

I wondered many times in mere solitude
why am I always so confident and sure
that my cancer will vanish without a cure
why it only sometimes affects my mood?

The answer comes from within my soul
so clear and satisfying without a doubt
yet, when asked to advise others about
my answer appears incomplete, not whole

A cheerful, healthy mind is like a balanced ship
inner strength that pushes you up, like buoyancy
external forces that pull you down, like gravity
nature in balance, promising a safe’n sound trip

I put my life in Gods hands and he leads
soothing assurance and a trusted anchor
its not always enough, others need more
what if trust depends on proof and deeds?

My trust in him results in a mental image
a body that’s complete, perfect and strong
no protecting shell as things still go wrong
its a state of mind, it is stabilising knowledge
