PINEVERGREEN FOREST
OVERWHELMED
Drawing by JeroMe © 1998
As he sat upon the throne of his mind
unawre of self
unaware of life
unaware of progresses
Just there in the darkness.
Suddenly, a light comes on and illuminates his mind.
he now experiences an enlightening
sense of...
Awareness!
He then becomes
Overwhelmed by his own mortal thoughts.
Overwhelmed br the present
Overwhelmed by the past
Overwhelmed by the future.
The visual monitors in in his
mind switch on
simultaneously
Reminding him...
of all he had done,
all that may happen, all that should have happened,
all that might have happened
if things were done...
Differently.
He thinks
He ponders
He wonders,
He is Overwhelmed!
he overwhelms himself
with flashing images
scattered across a now
unsettled mind!
He is Overwhelmed by
his past...
His accomplishments
His failures.
His victories.
His defeats.
His proud moments.
His embarrasments.
His trials.
His temptations.
The opportunities he took.
The chances he missed.
"Why do I remember theses things?"
He asks himself.
"Why am I reminded of these
events that happened in the passed?
I can't change them now!" He thinks, he ponders
He wonders,
He is Overwhelmed by
guilt, happiness, sadness,
frustrations, passion, nostalgia,
resentments, love...
He thinks, he ponders, he wonders.
He is Overwhelmed.
He thinks ...
He thinks of his present status...
His acheivements.
His ambitions
His place in society.
His longings.
His likes, His desires.
His life in the eyes of God.
He ponders his soul,
"Where is it going?"
Hew ponders his mind,
"What is its state?"
He ponders his spirit
"Where arec you taking me?"
He ponders his heart,
"What are these feels?!" He ponders himself.
He thinks, he ponders,
He wonders. He is...
OVERWHELMED!!
Coming around to the last lap
of the inner most corner
of his mind,
the moniters reveal
The ponder of the future.
His ambitions.
His goals.
His career.
He thinks,
Where will I be in the next
few year?
Will I be alive?
Will I be dead
Will I be married?
Will I have a family?
Will I be famous?
Will I be a nobody?
Where will I be? Who will I be ?
Wonders if God thinks
well of him .
His choices in life.
The path he has taken
and where they take him.
His intentions.
Are they relevant?
He is confused.
He is Overwhelmed!
All of these insignificant thoughts,
notions and ideas race through
The monitors in his caotic mind,
Until fleeting images
scurry through hundreds
of screens.
like frightened rats.
He thinks, he ponder,
Until...
The moniters become
filled with a light
as brightv as lightning
That burst throiugh the
network of screens
With a resonating Explosion,
spraying broken glass
and splinters across the vast plain
in his finite mind.
He has exhausted himself.
Tired. Fatigued.
Overwhelmed.
He can do no more thinking,
Just praying.
This time, trusting God
to hold his past, present
and future,
with out mental moniters
to confuse him.
Distract him...
Overwhelm him.
What has happened in the past
does not matter anymore.
Neither does the future.
But only his faith in God
will determine a victorious journey.
And he will only use
those monitors for
a grand vision of a bright future.
Then he will not become...
Overwhelmed.
