From the depth of valleys deep
A vision rises into view
Of peace and hope that’s mine to keep
My whole heart and soul and more
Accepts the vision of thy grace
I will forever thee adore

Footsteps
I will listen to thy whispers
To what thou hast to say
Thy leading and thy guiding –
Forsake me not I pray
My heart will be thy crown
I will ne’er thy love betray
Thy footsteps I will follow
Until my dying day
For I love You, oh Lord
My hope and strength and stay
Feeling Happy
The sky shifted
When I wasn’t looking
Overcast grey clouds
Heavy burdened awareness
Of darkness approaching
Lifted
Out of nowhere
The sun is shining
Caressing my skin
Licking, teasing, touching
And out of nowhere
I feel happy
Wilderness
Wandering in the wilderness
Drifting far I roam
My heart cries out for Thee
My soul holds out for home
My Savior watches over me
My Savior, Lord of all
Reigning in His Kingdom
He hears my desperate call
With arm and love outstretched
The King extends His Hand
Rejoicing, I surrender
To His eternal land
Love Bite (a.k.a The Morning After)
I trusted in the Sun
In its promises of warmth and light and hope
I submitted to its charm
Trusting in it evil ways
Sun wrapped me up
In rays of love
Seducing me with its power
My flesh craved for more
For more of Sun’s kisses
Over me
But when it had left its mark
And done its deed
Sun bid farewell
With a love-bite
Etched across my skin
And scars for me to heal
Leading Lady
If you would allow me
I would be your leading lady
If you could love me
I would allow you to
If you would allow me
I would love you forever
If you could desire me
I’d never let you go
Emotion
I feel the feelings that make me feel
Alive and sad and aware and glad
I cry my tears and smile my smiles
Revel in the silence that makes me whole
For I live and breathe and think and am
And when I’m gone my words will stand
The Power of No!
Temptations rage strong
Threatening to overcome
No! I will not
Leave me be
And one by one
With each No that is said
With each No that is meant
The strong gets stronger
The weak gets weaker
And I am rising
Rising where I want to be
Becoming who I am meant to be
I am standing
Standing in my integrity
Holding the power
The power of No
Glossy Veneer
He’s no Romeo
My desires betray
The brutal reality
Of the truth behind
The glossy veneer
I’m torn in two
Wanting, needing
My fantasies to be true
But there is no truth
Only a bitter lie
And a bitter pill
For me to consume
Bliss
Bliss is a hammock
Keeping the wide blue ocean
And me company
