Meaning

 

Speak to me of things you know

And I will speak of things I don’t.

Speak to me of thoughts you ponder

And I will speak of such thought’s folly.

Speak to me of questions had

And I will speak of answers vague.

Speak to me of dreams you have

And I will urge your heart to follow.

Speak to me of love you’ve lost

And I will share the love I’ve found.

Always There

Each night I keep her on my chest.

Her fragrant scent

I love the best.

When morning comes

Her song greets the day,

Often leaving me little to say.

Every chance I can

I sneak a kiss.

Her lips not long for my venture unmissed.

Her spirit shines for the world to see

I fool myself, it’s only for me.

How long will these tender moments last,

You see, it’s been years since I’ve seen her last.

Stay but Go

Leave NOW                                  

Don’t go far.

Out of my sight but       

                                                       stay close enough for me to feel you.

When

                                                       you Look back at me,

you see me fall to the ground.                 

                                                       I cry for our souls.

I say “I’M SORRY”,

                                                       So do you.

Boots

Their boots, they will stomp to the beat of a thunderous doom.

I can’t walk with them anymore… My steps are made gentle; laid in light by grace.

Their shouts, they will get louder and echo; with no walls to contain them.

I am deaf to them… my ears, thank God, are for those voices no more; only divine whispers do I hear.

Their fists will crash down with hammers heavy with emptiness.

Feel their pain? No…
for pain is not of battered flesh; but of a searching heart.

They will glare with contempt; with anger’s darkness daring light not to surrender to a temptation so seemingly sweet.

But not the light that shines for me; tempted not by fleeting beauty; yielding only to the beauty of Truth.

Steps

Grace be gone.
For mine is not yours.
Mine is of temptation not heaven sent,
but sent for a thirst not quenched by your
pure water.
Tragic steps of fallen ways
lead me to my final days.

Not from You

My light comes not from
you.
There I will seek no more.
The truth
you
do not speak, lest it is of the light.
Wisdom
you
do not offer,
for all in the shadows is of jest.
Solace
is not found
unless
prayer is your grace.

Collide

She doesn't hear me.
Our words collide, and echo lost.
She doesn't see me.
Our glares fire is of contempt,
We are blinded by such fury.
We hide.
Our vulnerability is in its wake.

Trace of Spirit

I found a trace of spirit
lost,
far from me.
Or was I lost?

Between the Beats

Not Alone


Tread alone
between the beats of the heart of fear,
where light finely shines
and
silently tells you
you are not alone.

Shape Me

Shape Me


Shape me with wings
and I will fly.
Shape me with tears
and I will cry.
Shape me with words
and I will lie.
Shape me with breath
and I will sigh.
But
Shape me with grace
and I will see
the love that is given
in Her sympathy.

I Have a Voice

I Have a Voice


Speak for me.
Words are not mine.
Innocence and grace
are mine.
So too are love and mercy,
from the beginning those were mine.
But
words I have not.

They hear not no matter.
Their search for words leaves them deaf.
Their angered voices drowns my plead.
Speak for me.
Tell the what you hear. Tell them what I say.
Be my voice.
They are deaf to me.

Mind Not Honored

It is not a thought to ponder,
not a moment to wonder.
It is not a question or an answer,
or a challenge to surmount
nor
a time to take haste.
It consoles not the worried mind
nor
resolves a lost thought.
My moment came when all thoughts were gone and answers absent;
when thought fell under the empty weight of anticipation.
I grasped for the touch of reason; empty my hand returned.
Stillness and grace were now my moment.
Love is at hand... it is my choice.

Holding

Hold me now       
                             I'm not able

so I can breath;    
                              to stand,

and when I can     
                              be strong,

I will hold you,    
                               and hold you.
