Sunny Daze

The odd bird chirps
The hum of a distant lawn mower resonates
Sun filters through the trees
A plane paints lines in the sky
a leaf drops
a bird flies
I close my eyes.

Camel Knees

Everything in me I try to conceal
I know you can see, an open reveal

Down to the floor I kneel
Words from my tongue come
like 8mm film from a reel

These words are how I feel
My fate I think they'll seal
Forgive me and we'll
be in devotion
moving slow motion
love deeper than the ocean
eternity together is the deal.

Daydream

I pause next to a window sill
Time slows, then satnds still
The grass is chrystalised in morning dew
I day dream of me and you.
I long for a connection but hesitate to ask,
Would I recognize myself if I dropped this mask?
Maybe on a sunlit beach, through hot sand
we would be safe walking hand in hand.

A pinch brings my vision to light
a misquitoe floats away like a kite.

Farewell

I recall the last time I got to kiss you
Suddenly, off you ran, such an issue
all my tears are dried with a damp tissue
Each one reminds me that I miss you

coastline

I stand where the water meets the shore.

Here I feel rest.

Here in this secret place, I feel him in this place.

The ocean breeze,

The blowing mist.

The waves crashing and the sand whispering.

Here in loveliness and brokeness I meet Him.

selah

.....That the hand that made all of this.....

....made these hands of mine....

Prayer

The secrets of my heart were written on the passing clouds and falling rain,

Grasped only by a cherubs wing to be lifted and whispered in the ear of God

His flaming spirit will promptly tear elements asunder
to answer, my cry with causing even a slight thunder

Entering my soul before the last heart string breaks

he connects the invisible dots to read my mind

he touches my soul and make me whole inside

This divine intermission tantalizes me with wonder;

Your beauty, it astounds me

as your love, it slowly surrounds me.

Beyond the Veil

Beyond the veil, the mysteries that we need, the secrets that we want.
Beyond the veil the hope that we’ve heard of the salvation we need.
The peace that will bless us the bliss it contains, all of it found beyond the veil.
A rip in the curtain a tear through the fabric , a presence now felt, the veil lay broken.

Crimson Solace

In the world I was buried,
I was a slave. Contention.
I was so lost, anger, fear.

Then I found this Crimson solace.
In the mercy of the blood shed from his flesh.
Christs blood, there I found this Crimson solace.

Wondering

Isit in the dark
yellow light spills into my room
I allude to some vague image of you,
try to lift myself from the gloom.
Endless things arise, I ty to construe.

Fear and Trembling

What are these pews but bars?

Holding us in. Quelling our angst.

What are these movements but rhythms?

What are our songs but noise,

with an estranged heart.

These bright lights will harden my soul.

Will the stained glass swallow me whole?

Could I step into the grass and sing, dance, pray?

Without a sword on a thread above my head?

Will I follow the Lamb of God to his home?

Come let us go there now.

Vista

Staring at snow through frost

the boy scrapes at the pane

in hope of finding where he is lost.

A flash and all to him is revealed

The revelation made him feel older.

He nearly comprehended what was concealed

but the freezing glass turned him the cold shoulder.

Nature

Five foot ten and made of steel

Looking in the mirror I don't feel that real

Through these dark alleys yet I creep

'Til a Chloroform swathed cloth puts me to sleep.

The Arrival

When Love comes
Does it inquire of circumstance?
Does it wait for reality?
Is it to be rejected?
With held?
Love picks rusty locks.
Love scrubs away apathy.
Its a blessing from God above.
Embrace it.
