and here I found myself
in complete radio silence.
You're the soft humming static,
the deafening silence
as soon as I close my car door.
There's a certain kind of peace here,
though what I have is emptiness;
what I have is nothing.
You're the cigarette in my fingers at 3 am,
if only I hadn't quit.
You're the portrait that I'd create in awe,
if only I knew how to draw.
You're every song and piece of poetry
that these hands will ever compose for months,
and even years,
and by the stars, sweetie,
do I know how to write.

I think I'm meant to tell you
how a relationship with God can be.
It doesn't mean there's something
wrong with yours,
just that maybe He wants you to see.

The depths one can go to
upon surrendering to being free.
Trust me, in this there is peace.

I sat here waiting to have a conversation,
writing notes that I had been putting off
on the subject of the speed of light, so boring
I almost blew it off...
And I couldn't remember the poem
that earlier I had been trying to write.
Then like a wave it hits me,
exactly when it is right.
As the song playing at random said,
"love is moving faster than the speed of light
changing, rearranging my design."

I was sent here to tell you
Jesus is more than a lifeline.
He is your best friend of forever,
loving you like a juggernaut
all the time.

He talks to me in every breath I take,
it just took some amount of time.
For me to learn to listen,
that was a fatal problem of mine...
And once I opened up,
surrendered all I considered mine
He took over like an ocean
drowning my heart
with a love
so
divine.

Now He is in everything I do.
For I couldn't even form these words,
if He did not want to reach you.
And there's power in that realization,
Who am I? Who are you?
We are sons and daughters of His
chosen to be a part of creation!
Isn't that the sweetest news?
thank you.

What does one do,
when you can make
heaven
or
hell ?

When what you want
to happen
doesn't turn out
too well?

You keep pushing forward.
No matter what you see.
You walk in the knowing
believing it will be.

Through God we can do all things,
including being free.
And I know the hardships
in trusting
these words coming from me.

But it burns me up knowing,
all the misery you see.
And I'm just praying that I'm showing
you the grace
He wants you to see.
Self-mastery is really about learning to consciously interpret the information coming into our lives in an open and purposeful way, And part of mastering our relationships is learning how those we love interpret things.

Aren't you getting tired
of your bitter ways?
Tired of complaining about
everything,
and never looking
the other way?

Isn't it getting old
to find yourself with no friends?
To look at your life
and think,
"What's wrong with them!?"

Is it the least bit alarming...
you love nothing you see?

The truth can be disarming,
but please consider
it from me.

There is no sense
in harming
yourself,
this isn't
how you
have
to be.

If you want love
you have to give it,
you have to
*set
yourself
free.
it's far easier to love
much harder to hate.
Here we are,
don't break our trust
Here we are
Rain down on us

Let the drops fall
like the kisses of fate
Let the drops fall
As we call check mate

The sins we bare
Let them wash away
The sins we bare
No longer have a say

It's impossible to know if I did the right thing,
but it is possible to be okay knowing I did something.
