in the cold of the winters day,
under the darkened night sky,
when all hope seems lost
and all love gone,
I hear the song of the birds.
it is a sweet melody
that fills my heart as the earth becomes still.
a glorious sound of praise,
a song of peace and stillness
raised up in obedience to the Rock of Ages.
the One who brings comfort when the light seems to have faded away.
yet I will hope,
as the winter birds
that light will shine again
and this too shall pass.

endings/beginnings

You are the God of endings and beginnings.
so thank You, for every thing You bring to completion through the running of its course.
thank You, that if things end, there is hope for new beginnings.

strangers

each day I wait for you
hoping that this will be the day,
when you finally realise
I am worth the fight.
each day I hope, today will be the day
you'll think of me with fondness
and value my heart.
each day, I am disappointed.
disappointed in you
and disappointed in me.
you who knew my heart so well,
could quickly become just a stranger.
each day I wait for you,
hoping you'll return to me, the person you were and the version of me,
you took with you.

Unraveling

"I'm coming apart at the seams,
it's worse than I thought it would be.
But, I've never been happier."

fade

I'd fade into the shadows if I could.
become a reflection that lingers on the waters, that flows along the earth.
to escape the loudness of the world,
and the restlessness of my mind.
to find solace,
to find peace,
to find quiet.
I'd run the distance of the world, if I could.
never stopping anywhere long enough to let my heart be overcome with despair, or love.
but I can't escape the thought,
that if I am just a shadow,
I'll miss out on the substance of being human.
the tangible guilt, sadness, happiness, and grief.
if I am a reflection, how will I touch the ones I love? how will i hold them close to my soul?
how will I bow on my knees and say a prayer to my God?
if I run,
if I escape,
would it be worth it?

caterpillar

we are like butterflies.
but first, we must accept the process before the transformation.
the ugliness of slithering in the dirt,
the loneliness of the cocoon,
and the pain of the change.
we are two broken little creatures,
groaning and writing,
finding our way.
but you, are by my side as we reach our completion.
we are learning to become more of what God has intended.
we are learning to become beautiful.

my heart has hardened.
as I grow older and look at this world,
it all makes me turn my eyes away and ponder where the love has truly gone.
where the wonder has gone.
when life was filled with colour and eager expectation.
i want my heart to be so open, and filled with love, that when the world sees me, they see Christ.
let my pride wither away, as with my flesh,
let me be humble, and fall on my face in constant awe.
let me not pull away and hide from the agony around, that my heart becomes bitter and enraged.
oh, let your love change us, o God, I pray.
