In that moment of your eyes
Meeting with mine I felt
That leap of joy and
Knew my heart
Would never
Be the
Same

The Piano
I feel the keys beneath my hand
I hear the music in my mind
The notes of love and fear and life
Surround me as the crystal
Sounds fill me with a welcome peace
Faithful
Waterfall
Water rushing as fast as it can go
Over the edge, submitting to
The power that will take it
Where nothing is
Promised but
The earth
Below
Virgin Hearts
In seasons past we sat and talked
About life and death and everything
We spoke about the future and we laughed
Enraptured by what we both had found
Never enough, always wanting more
Our virgin hearts so unafraid
Of hurt or pain of going there
Oh! How my heart bleeds in my chest
When all I see now is an empty chair
Running Scared
I’m scared
Of so many things
I’m scared
Of not being needed
I’m scared
Of not being able to cope
I’m scared
Of going back to corporate life
But most of all
I’m scared
Of losing you
Offering
I hold out my hand
And offer you light
I hold out my heart
And offer you love
Dandelion
As fragile as a
Spider’s web—dandelion’s
Vulnerability
Future Unknown
Bracing the cold
I confront my fears
As I look onwards
To a future unknown
Broken Heart
Branches etch across the sky
As rays of light weave their way
Into the darkness of my life
Warming the broken vessels of my
Heart
