serendipitous
synchronologically
singing succintly
Is the moon tired? she looks so pale
Within her misty veil:
She scales the sky from east to west,
And takes no rest.

Before the coming of the night
The moon shows papery white;
Before the dawning of the day
She fades away.

You will remember me
   Not by my presence
       But my absence
                    

And, even that
      Will just be a passing thought.

Laying in the dark, my hands they stretch for the sky.
The dirt is just so cold, and I rest on my side.
I was living all this time but I just never had life.
I would sleep in the day, and then I'd get up at night.

Even Though I hate myself, I'm begging for life
They left me to die, but I'm not ready to die
Push me to the edge and I'll call death to my side.
Tell him to ready his scythe, but I said I was fine.

Don't know why I'm so upset, again I ask why.
But rather than the truth, I pay attention to lies.
run away from the real, but said I'd never just hide.
Not calling for help, but I'll write a message they'll find.

If you were ever there you'd see distress in my eyes.
They said they would stay, I guess everyone lies
Hands tremble I try, to hold them steady to write
so down in the depths, I came from Everest's heights.

On the old parchment paper, its gone yellow from time.
The paper it's so dated, thought it never was white.
He's writing it with ease, his pencil just glides
He puts the rope around until his head is inside

He feels it pinching all up on his neck its so tight
Well, this is it, it's the end of the line
He hears a howl near, he's afraid of the sound
He tries to jump to death, note taped to his crown

It's instant regret, more so he hates himself now
Just from his perspective, no debate he's so foul
He sees a black figure and its off to the side
Choking on the rope, he'll be gone in no time

Fingers on his neck, but hands are on both his sides
He's on the ground safe, when he thought he would die
As he just inhales, the air is god to his pipes
What was standing over him, a monster at night?

once he regained focus, with no spots in his eyes
Once he saw past the night, past the dark to the light
You would not believe what he saw out his eyes
Everything is different, no more fog in the sky
Not saved by a monster, not at all it was nice
Saved by a person, with blonde locks and blue eyes

Your will is change
You give life to Your own words
Just hearing them
reading them on the page
speaking them
lifts the veil
to know that there is love
that is beyond measure
but can be seen in sacrifice
in resurrection
in sharing glory with people who didn't love you
You call me worthy, so I am worthy
You love so gently
you don't force it

I want to love You
I do love You
keep showing me how to love
I want your presence close
thick and full
dripping wet
because it is poured over me
undignified
as you made Yourself
I will love You
Boldly
as You declared love
I will declare it
You keep blessing beyond a heavenly seat
what love that You are only a breath away!
I will breathe
inhale the sweet smoke of Your fire
and exhale a windstorm

You affect the way I think
because You softened my heart
I am married to this,
beautiful
overwhelming
liberating love
How could I even think of divorcing something in my blood?
When the adulterer comes,
trying to make me question -
"What about the hard times?"
The goodness is coming!
"What about when you feel lonely?"
I am not what I feel; love is ever present!
"What about...
NO! Stop lying!
Nothing stops goodness!
Nothing keeps me from His love!
Praise God!
Even when the adulterer tries to lure me away,
I know where my home is found.
It is a breath away.
Inhale
Exhale

FIRE, FIRE, FIRE!!!
burning love forever!
my heart burns for You
we are deep in this cave
the molten fire builds
let it burn!
let it burn!
You burn for every part of me
You are the torch and fire
the torch touches every corner of me
the flames lick up
igniting everything
love sends up a sweet smoke
holy fire burn
forever
burn away the past
burn away the unbelief
the lies
the pain
the heart ache
the fire burns it all away
and leaves nothing but love
How can fire be so reassuring?
It scares me, but it's good
I would be a fool not to touch it
it makes me better
the past is ashes now
floating away in the wind
