Adoption
Heaven would be ours
should we know our powers,
for heaven is within
and to the Lord we're kin
if we take His name,
let His adoption claim
change the name we hold
into His like and mold.
Heartbeat
There's a song in my heart
O the mercies I chart
In the soul of my God
In the depths of His love
When anxiety frays
My peace and it sways
My soul from its course
I command, Light, come forth!
For the power of Christ
Is the song of my life
It is pounding in me
The true heartbeat of me
Another word for
Technical difficulties
Is another word
For universe having a laugh
there's water
there's water under the bridge
it's gone, long gone, by now
but there's a channel in the earth
of our history and a bridge
dawn echo
echoing into the darkness
shines the light
open my eyes to brightness
newness of sight
shake out my newborn wings
and rise in flight

Burning Bridges
Yesterday, a bridge
Today, the ashy water
Pours out of my mouth
Like a mighty river
Feathers
Two broken wings
Taped together
Maybe we can't fly
We keep each other warm
7/25/17
Transcend
Look into my butterfly heart
Look beneath my tight furl'd wings
In the cocoon, that dark, close part
There transcend terrestial things
I'll wake soon
And leave cocoon

May
I am grateful for the sun
It may be hot, but I am warm
I am grateful for the wind
It may be cold, but I can breathe
I am grateful for my friends
They may tease, but I am loved
I am grateful for the day
I may be tired, but I'm alive
The Heart and the Spark
Every once in a while
Someone falls in love
It couldn't be me, it wouldn't be me
But knowing it isn't enough
You can't just think it is true
Or feel it deep down in your bones
Your heart and the spark
Must ever apart
Remain or bam! you're in love
Uncertain Date
Prayer ###. Remind Me
Today, remind me who to be
A child of God in everything
To hold to You, O Lord, and cling
To the love of Christ in me

(for me)
broken eggshells
my heart
emptiness inside
this too
this too shall pass
even this
tomorrow it
will not be missed
where I've been
tell me where I've been
I've been hiding out for a while
hiding in the bottom
of my quiet, shivering heart
tell me what to say
what you will believe
I promise nothing but
an ever tighter weave
running like a mind
there's water under the bridge
it's running like a mind
ahead of the briar thorns
of memory in my spine
there's water under the bridge
it's drowning like a lie
beneath relentless truth
when nothing left can hide
8/16/17
burden
we are tired
of the heavy places,
the deep tirades,
required graces,
every word
you ever spoke
from the day
my eyes awoke
