Bugs in the dark swarm
My screen is not the sunlight
But they know nothing.

I rode all day,
I cried all night.
The moon didn't glow,
The stars didn't rise.
A comet blazed
Between my eyes.
West and south,
Wind and rain.
Every way is
Just the same.
Pray give me a box
To hide inside
Pray give me a *****
To dig my grave.*

~GC Levine, from *Fairest

It's a relief to know
That on my trip north
I missed most of this summer's heat

But I'm still quite hot
And it's really not
Anywhere near the hottest it'll reach.

The nervous tension
Nail-biting fear, anxiety
And then the thrill! Yes!
Ah, and the adrenaline!
Over so quickly. Again.

Lord, I want my life to show
What it's like when You have control
And I want others to know
That I'm wholly and completely Yours.

Take away distraction
Remove all the fear and lies
And perhaps I'll see
The person deep inside me
Who has always been right there.
