he smiled, "that's the star I wished for you"

"how can you tell?"

"it's the same one that shines in your eyes"

the memories they came in waves

at first the tide rushed in all the bad
the nights we'd sit in silence
the times you forgot to hold my hand
all the times you shut me out
from seeing into your soul
and the way you assumed i knew all about
the feelings you never told

i wish you would have told me
i wish i would have know

maybe you could have been the one

it's a shame we'll never know

the sun is rising
the morning has come
the dew it dances
and the earth it thrums.
i can't yet see the light ahead
my body too weak to lift my head.
the birds they sing as morning breaks
my ears are deafened by the thundering shakes
of night
of life
of the fews & far betweens
I picture ghosts of glory dancing on the seas.
the sun is rising the morning has come
I begin to hear a distant strum
of footprints slapping the distant waters
as the sun on my back grows only hotter
i charge the shore to escape its rays
and plunge into a sea of grace.

my heart stops when yours starts beating-
you make bein you look so wonderful.

memories of you, they come in waves
tides of happiness reach their peak and crash with sadness upon the sand-
the nights we'd sit in silence
the times you forgot to hold my hand.
all the times you shut me out
from seeing in your soul
and the way you assumed i knew all about
the feelings you never told.
i wish you would have told me.
i wish i would have known.
maybe you could have been the one,
it's a shame we'll never know.

i have loved you since the dawn of April
how fitting to fall in the rise of blooms
among the whispers of spring
we danced all night--
turning a bed of greenery into a dance floor
our feet didn't mind the faint fumblings
because our hearts were to busy skipping and tripping over beats

that night i fell in love with you
but was too scared to tread the unknown waters
filled with passions of uncharitable ferocity
so silent i kept
carefully tracing infinity signs on the inside of your arm as you slept
because this moment
i knew
was infinite

almost as infinite as the night that hid the tears shining in my eyes.

and so ill walk the crimson path
where crossroads meet the cross
and my throne will remain empty
for I have surrendered my kingship
   and accepted His sonship
I have traded my crown
    to serve the Prince of Peace
I have denounced my fame
        that I may proclaim His glory.

my world is full of raindrops
my mind gently shakes with quiet thunders
my eyes are heavy clouds awaiting the downpour

it rains a lot here

then you come along carrying the sunshine
illuminating the darkest parts of myself no one has ever seen
i used to fear your rays
but lately i have become accustomed to them
i have broken the silence of complacency
and my heart roars with indifference

i think my problem is that
I love dancing in the rain too much
to ever accept the sunshine

when I want you
I can't seem to find you
when I have you
I act like I want to lose you

I wonder if you left
if Id ask you to stay

Tiny shadows litter the sky
filling the horizons
circling around each other
fighting for a better view of the setting sun

as i stare outside my window,
gazing at the birds overhead,
dreams plague my mind
of what it would be like
to fly towards the sun
with no limitations,
just me
and the wind in my wings
chasing the light
that illuminates my soul
