Can You Feel?

Can you feel the wind
blowing on your face
as the world turns
it can forget where you are

Standing in no man's land
it's a silent lonely place

Can you feel the groans
of a spirit within
coming upon a world
that leaves you on the rim

Standing in no man's land
it's a silent lonely place

Walking on you'll get by
though sometimes wonder why
problems are doorways
we all have to open soon

So carry on
come rain or wind
come gail or storm
we carry on
and soon we find
that peace of mind
it's waiting up ahead..

Can you feel the wind
blowing on your face
as the world turns
it can forget where you are

Standing in no mans land
its a silent lonely place

'Problems are doorways..' Great poem christian. I guess we all fear those doorways as enemys sometimes, instead as friends opening the way the deeper fulfilment. Much to think about.

I often found that resolving a problomatic issue sometimes led to others, peace of mind must rely upon yourself, but I feel where you are going with this piece.

Though standing on no man's land, in a silent lonely place, quite alone in fact, we shall not despair and ... carry on, yes you are right, carry on and face problems we encounter courageously, knowing, with His help up above we will make it.
