It's silent,
All except for the soft breeze.
The world is still,
Quiet, peaceful.
I lay in the meadow,
Drifting,
Falling into dreams.
The long grass brushes my cheek,
As the breeze blows,
Gently,
Quietly through the blades.
Through the silence, mice scurry,
Hiding in the grass,
Going to their nests.
A rabbit nearby grazes,
Silently, peacefully.
A sly fox sneaks by,
Barely noticing me.
It's beautiful.
The serenity is nice.
I'm happy,
Close to nature.
Welcomed,
I am welcomed here.
I am home.

hello world.
can you hear me?
can you hear my voice through the crackles of my dry throat?
i am tired of screaming.
i am sick of crying.
my eyes are swolen.
no one notices.
can you hear me, world?

There's nothing like a lazy Friday
Nothing quite like it
Waking up without an alarm,
Just your arms--
Around me, squeezing.

So many mornings I lie awake in your grip
As your drift back and forth
In and out of your sleep.

Nothing can match this feeling
Safe in your bed, like nothing can get me
Nothing needs to matter
Just you and me.

Naked, exposed
Vulnerable.

Clothes strewn about the room,
Evidence of last night's passion
You roll towards me
Leaving your kiss on my neck.

I could really love you if you'd let me.

Pull me in tight
Erasing my insecurities, my discomfort
Wordless
You tell me I'm beautiful, I'm okay here.
Open, honest,
You always tell me exactly what you mean.

If it hurts, it hurts.

And I could really love you if you'd let me.

You give me butterflies
And this scares me
But I like it
Come be near me

Can I tell you
Whats within me
This confusion
It's amazing

I trust you
But I'm scared
Because I know
When there is no more
When you leave me
When I can't see you
Where will I be
                              Lost eternally

You are my best friend
You are my man
All I need is
For you to hold my hand
Even if it's only once
I need to feel your touch
'Cuz your mind is beautiful
Your voice is appealing
And here I stand
Waiting to take your hand

So your hands are big?
Ok, I feel safe
Just don't let me go
Because I'll never know
What to do with myself

And so if you go
You can blindfold me
Or just take away my sight
I know I will adjust
But only so much
I know I'll understand
The beauty around me
But I'll never be able to appreciate
Everything that surrounds me

But enough of you leaving me
The thought is too depressing
And let me tell you
I'm so grateful to meet you
That I think of you
Before I go to bed
That to the Lord
I humbly bow my head
That I thank Him
For putting you in my life
And I thank you
For giving me butterflies
