in the darkness,
there are different kinds of light
.
there are lights that;
too bright for you to see the truth,
too dim for you to distinguish the reality from fantasy.
there are also lights that may burn you down.

but the best of all is the light that comes from him---
Our Father.

Our God

There's so much to be said
so much inside to say
each time the words begin to leave
I'm quiet, withdraw and pray

There's so much I could voice
many things you should know
each time the words begin to leave
I whisper that I should go

There's so much I could pen
all the wrong, no one ever put right
each time the words begin to leave
they disappear into the night

There's so much I should share
but is this really the place
each time you hear the lies
just see the truth upon my face

The darkness surrounded her
She found such comfort in it
comfort in the elements
so raw and enriching

The breeze cooled her warm skin
and brushed through each curl,
carelessly
How freeing the sensation

With bare feet
her delicate impressions
visible
for only moments
as the moist sand
recovered its composure

Sitting reflectively
at the closest point
to the waves,
they kissed each toe
Nothing could ever feel
this natural to her,
a welcoming and wonderful calm
Isolated, yet surrounded,
by so much

Bleed your ink onto the page
bleed your pain on even lines
come back to me often
return, time after time

I am with you through each step
I am with you through the tears
follow me 'til the end
together for a thousand years

I watch you face your doubts
I watch you pen your troubled life
take me on your journey
where we'll reach for the beautiful sky
