Longing
And I never could forget the first time you were in my midst.
It felt just like a kiss; Just like the first embrace of a lover..
There is no other who made me feel the subtle joys I couldn’t help.
The way that I could barely contain myself when you were near.
So now I write these poems, my love. I write them just for you,
but words will never do without the heart that only music gives us.
I just can’t finish this melody. My timid lips cannot express,
since everything just comes out like a mess when you’re not here!
It feels like an eternity when we are far apart.
The rhythm of my heart is stuck in place and I am barely living.
My legs are giving as I fall to my knees and start to see
I wish that you were here and holding me…

Hearts
Where have you been? I cried myself to sleep last night again.
I thought you said I’d never be alone.
How can I stand? The root of Fear is slowly sinking in
and inch by inch my heart is overgrown.
Is this just a nightmare? Am I going crazy?
My world falls apart and I just can’t take when I see everyone else falling too?
But what could I do? What could I do?
What could I do when my strength is fading?
And what could I do? What could I do?
What could I do when my faith is shaken too?
(If love is so selfless, how come it seems to take away so much from me?
And if love is the anchor that keeps me grounded in the midst of raging seas,
Then why is this ship swaying? Why am I drowning? Why am I drowning?)
I can’t understand what good could come from so much pain,
but standing in this place could never show me everything..
Should I follow my heart and march to its beat?
Head back to the start.. Find the healing I need..?
Should I follow my heart?
Oh, my heart..

Healing
As I tended to the garden of my soul,
Fear and Doubt took root within the dirt.
How the weeds and wounds did surely grow,
while the seeds and dreams were choked amidst the hurt.
But this is all I have…
This is all I have.
So I pried and pulled at every wicked crop,
but human tools could barely make it through.
It seemed as if the growth would never stop,
and every single lie became the truth.
But this is all I have…
This is all I have.
Your healing…
Your healing…
This is all I have.
Your healing is all I need.
One day, crimson rain will start to fall,
as glory light fills the sky.
You always listen when I call.
My garden blooms when You are glorified.
Because this is all I have…
This is all I have.
Your healing…
Your healing…
Your healing is all I have.
Your healing is all I need.
This is all I have...

Hands
I’ll find rest in His shadow, as darkness abounds.
I long for His voice, to be lost in the sound,
So I’ll strap to these promises,
Safe in these words,
Believing, in faith,
The unseen and unheard…
My feet have come dangerously close to this stone.
A heart that’s grown cold, could it be it’s my own?
But He says mine’s on fire and the other’s a fake.
My feet will be crushing the head of the snake,
And all I understand
Is the safety in these hands.
All I understand is the safety in these hands.
So I’ll lay down my idols for the people I love
And pray my desire for Love is enough.
I know I’m protected from the enemy’s knife,
So I’ll lay down my fear in exchange for long life
And all I understand
Is the safety in these hands.
All I understand
Is the safety in these hands.

The Parable of Smoke
The one thing I know about the nature of smoke,
it's foolish to deny that it's there.
It fills up your throat as you try not to choke.
It races and replaces the air.
Now you're losing the light, that immutable guide,
it hides behind the sting in your eye.
There's no way to fight and there's no where to hide,
but you don't have to meet your demise!
Just open up a window and let the Sadness go
escape into the greater air outside.
When grief is all you know, it's easier to lose the sight
of everything that's beautiful in life.
So just open up a window and let the Sadness go...
