So What!

To the What-If’s of the world
I shout out
So what!

The chronic ‘what-if’ thoughts
rain down
crowding out calm clarity
leaving one sitting in
a paroxysm of fear
wondering what the future holds
drowning out the glimmer of hope
standing on the doorstep of tomorrow.

It is a long journey into nowhere
arriving exhausted
even before you’ve begun.

A whirlpool of tired thoughts
swirls around in secret
disturbing the peace
yielding to a negative now.

An occasional anxious drop
is allowed in the ocean of life,
not the endless waves of doubt
circling around in confusion.

So what, I repeat,
practicing mindfulness
relaxing in the glow
of an everlasting love,
pushing those what-if’s far away
with a shove of new indifference.

God’s grace gradually glides in
sweeping away the debris
scattered around,
and I am whole once again.
