Diving deep into the blue
There’s shadows enough for all
Take the cue from the setting sun
Hide when the curtain falls

No one lives inside these waters
Where nothing stirs or wakes
Your soul will never worry
When your life it slyly takes

Sink into the depression
That the boulder made in sand
Where once lay masked intruders
That stole the life you planned

Your mind has less to wonder
When you let your life be taken
Led helpless to the slaughter
When will your cold heart waken?

It’s easier to float beneath
The water lukewarm and bland
If you learned what you’re missing
You’d fly onto dry land

But lying here is easy
It’s effortless, it’s true
So why not stay a couple days
In the thoughtless ocean blue.
Sightless poets made the future
Mute bards told of the past
Deaf musicians sing of today
The best were outcast.
The sun is shining above those clouds
You won't be rained on forever
You'll find your world is a wonderful place
If you stand firm despite the weather.
There’s a spiral in the universe
Where things go ‘round and ‘round
Everything is caught up in
The race to reach the ground

Some call it entropy
And others call it life
I prefer to call it knowing
You’re falling on a knife

All the ostentatious ones
Who stand out from the crowd
To become known for heinous deeds
Their voices brash and loud

Others lay in quiet dark
Waiting just to strike
Leaping unexpected, then
Relieving them of life

Some live innocently enough
Though more ignorant than good
They know not that their days are wasted
And drowning if they could.
This pounding silence in my head
The comfort slicing in my soul
The mindless beat keeps pulsing time
Glowing inside, my inner coal

Dead to the core, but moving still
It is my nemesis
I’ll push onward until I find
The answer to this

Inside my mind, you would get lost
The pines and rivers are covered in smog
Something lures you closer, though
This journey’s turned into slog

I drag my feet when I think of how
It chokes me though I know it not
If I don’t think and let it go
It’ll consume my very heart

Who am I anymore, I really do not know
If you ever find me, bring me back
Take the strings of my shattered heart
I know in the end it isn’t black

There may be hope for you, dear
If you don’t let them take you
So when you hear the siren’s call
That’s when the tide pulls through

I’m here watching, just to say
‘I told you so’ as soon as you fall
I wish I had the strength to fight
But they’re taking my strength, my all

If it isn’t too much to ask, I’d beg
Stay away from me
The longer you watch and soak it in
The harder you’ll have at forgetting.
Dreamless eyes are closed tonight
Sleepless tries to hide the light
Breathless gaze at the ceiling
Helpless haze of the feeling

Sudden drop inside, hidden trap collides
Light rushing past, flight crushing fast
Free fall through centuries past
Release all the memories last
His
This wretchedness unbearable is
I used to think that I was His
But now it often seems to me
That he has gone and let me be

I didn't want him to be gone
I was to his love always drawn
But now He's left me, I am here
Waiting to see what's drawing near

My future is dim, blurry, and dark
My mind catches fire with this one little spark
He left me because I have no will
To drive away sin that eats at me still

I feel so abandoned, lonely, alone
With dreading fear I crouch and moan
The horrors of this world are so, so tall
I feel so minuscule, so small

But then a light in darkness black
Lights up the world, nothing I lack
To see the things that troubled me
I find myself down on one knee

The weight of all I thought was lost
I find is here, but at a cost
My Savior, yes, he died for me
And how could I not see?

Things now become so clear
I wish I'd always been right here
For here I know I needn't hide
He'll never, ever leave my side.
From when I was 14.
O Lord, my life is short 
And my days a blink of an eye
Give me happiness and peace
So I can praise you when joy is mine

O Lord, my life is short
And my breath will soon depart
Give me trials and testing times
So I can grow and heal my heart

O Lord, my life is short
And these moments shall slip away
Give me friends to share your goodness
So I can bring them with me someday.
Psalm 39:
4 “Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be.
    Remind me that my days are numbered—
    how fleeting my life is.
There was a whisper on the wind
And a tune was in the air
The lights and shadows danced
With moonlight everywhere
 
So he took me by the hand
And he whispered in my ear
The world was listening in
But it was nothing they could hear
 
While the moon lit up the night
And the stars shone from the skies
The song began inside him
When he looked into my eyes
 
My heart sang in harmony
And danced along the tune
The song had taken shape
And we danced beneath the moon
 
The stars fell from the bright sky
And the moon told us farewell
The sun was late in coming
But we really couldn't tell
 
His heart was beating with mine
And my soul shouted out
The smile upon his face then
That is what love's about
 
I can't say how the rest went
And if I missed one part
The reason lies in blurry lines
That flow out from my heart
 
So if the night had ended
I cannot rightly say
If he and I dissolved there
Or remained there to this day
 
So when we see the moonlight
And his heart starts to sing
The night will soon forget us
As we dance, king and queen.
Here is my love, 
for you to take
Here are my hands,
which comfort make
Here is my heart,
for you to hold 
Here is my trust,
it's made of gold 
Here are my eyes
for you alone
Here is myself,
don't be alone
Here will I stand,
all for you
Here will I wait,
until "I do"
Here is my promise,
it ensures
Here is my life,
I'm forever yours.
