your absence is
like the aftermath
of the storm

i'm left to wonder
whether i prefer
the desperate
insanity you blew
into my life

or the deadly
silence.
At least I know where I stand in a storm.

Time's painful passing,
longing for your sweet embrace.
You remain absent.
The unconscious deed
can creep up on the soul, so
*monitor the mind
Reflections from far                                                        Fog mingles with hill
the hill rises from the sea...                                  lake rests in her deep crater
geometric form                                                         suns set and moons rise....
I was at the dance tonight,
our eyes met across the room
shoulders brushing
people passing
unknowing of my love for you.

You look past me into the crowd of people
you smile as you meet her eye
my heart sinks, that genuine smile
pulls at my bones.

The love we used to have you've forgotten,
I carry it in my caged soul [I carry it in my heart]
Burning, blazing, stars are falling
my universe is calling
for you, but you turn your head and
speak with your new lover.

If clouds could call
and mountains tall
would fall into the sea
my heart would see
that finally,
I was no good for you at all.
Moments of insight
are like thin clouds opening,
Sun bathing my mind.

Slain in the Spirit
Walking amongst the clouds
Hand in hand with the Savior

Oil flows through my hands
It’s dripping from His side
And I am beside Him bleeding out

A heaviness is upon me
But not one so oppressing
It’s like a warmth and blanket

Baptized in the Spirit
Where “He is a friend of mine
The God of angel armies

Is always by my side.”
His love is truly profound, and He takes our burdens. Let Him take them, and make our burdens light. Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
