The winds have carried me here
Wrapped gently in their nurturing arms
Nowhere to run nowhere to hide
Just a peaceful quiet
To lay me down.
Testimony
What would my testimony be, asked I
I took a moment to reflect
I stole some time to think it through:
I’ve cried I wept I faltered, failed
But always, always I held on
To sparkling glittering shimmering hope
For hope it is that is the fuel
That keeps our dreams alive
And more than that it guides our steps
That take us to the
Other side.
Gracious Hand
I’m doing good real good
I wanted you to know
That past the tears and heartache
My heart has overflowed
For wishes have been filled
The help I needed so
Flowed freely from
A gracious hand I know
Comfort Zones
Step outside to freedom
A small chance to take
Loose your hold on comfort
You will find the gold
Courage not forsaken
Only time will tell
Privilege awaits you
When you step outside your
Zone.
Hope
Icy winds rattled glass windows
Dogs howled misery at the relentless moon
My eyes grew heavy until eventually there
Was nothing left bar a tiny seed, very tiny send of
Hope
Peace
Peace wash over me
Peace I pray
Keep me safe
Never let me stray
For all my steps
I will walk today
For choice of words
I might have to say
Peace wash over me
Peace, I pray
Choice
I chose my path and here I am
I chose each step I took
I shook my world right from its core
My days are now unseen
Where to now I do not know
But trust in faith I will
By Faith
By faith we live each day
Surrounded by our hoping hearts
We trust that all would go our way
That dreams would light the dimming stars
Before we have a chance to blink
We fall and falter at the realm
My legs give way I feel so weak
I hope that you will understand
I give it all I tried my best
It was returned at their behest
My very all would never be enough
And so I turn myself away
There’s nothing more I have
To say.
A Drop of Water
I felt that pain so deeply
A sear within my chest
I cried out for drops of water
The sun though lapped it all
Oh please can someone help me
Oh please don’t let me die!
But down the hole I falter
I lose the sight of sky
I’m surrounded by my demons
My head falls into hands
And so I wish for blindness
To unsee all the pain
Oh heal my heart I pray
Let the sun shine once again
Wish Away
The sun woke me up, but I failed to find the light insight. Dark shadowed all the corners I could not see past dawn or day. I curled up tight and hid away, oh please can someone wave a wand? I wish away this pain and grief, this never-ending stinking well.
