Mistakes
Run with them
grab a ball of string
hook a kite to one end
take it out to an open field
and just run fast with that kite
dragging along behind you
and then go back and pick up that kite
and start running again
and then while you are really moving along
toss that kite up into the air
see if it will fly but keep running
what? it hit the ground?
okay, come back on a windy day.
mistakes.

Kites am.

I'm sorry
If I've ever hurt you

I've never been gentle

I'm sorry
If I've ever mistreated you

I've never been too nice

I'm sorry
If I've ever degraded you

I've never been understanding

I'm sorry
If I've never made you happy

I've always tried

I'm sorry
If I've never measured up

I've always attempted to

I'm sorry
If I've never been good enough

I've always been a failure

penetrate the mask
with Gods own Word
gently lift the lie away
and power off the dirt
wash away the malady
today a new reality
love yourself and  
live without the hurt

feel the steam
the pressure of the ocean
the walls of water flowing in
to heal the places deep within
my hurting soul

steel the dream
the mind can't take the notion
the empty heart's devotion
and finally eviction
conviction
of the truth

penetrate the mask
with Gods own word
gently lift the dream away
and power off the dirt
wash away the malady
today a new reality
love yourself and  
live without the hurt

let it dry
the final tears have fallen
and love is always calling
walking in the halls and
offering a tissue
this is not his issue
still he cares
always aware
he's always there
and he loves you.

released
from every vain deception
it was not my election
to have my heart's correction
come straight from my own mouth

and now the truth
my lack of proper leading
that this heart took a beating
rejected and left bleeding
but finally in the place
without disgrace
humbled and
set right

released.

hard rain through old pines
new shoots up from dirt and stone  
rise up, it had to be.
Therapy for an almost done aching heart. I am not angry. I am not bothered. Just leave me alone. This good therapy. I advise anyone who is hanging onto someone who is not truly available to take a long look in the mirror and imagine yourself ALONE for the rest of your life and then try to have a talk with that person who is stringing you along. See how far your get before they run screaming for the hills.
Freedom calling.
