Dancing on the beach
Nothing on my mind but the peaceful sound of the waves
Crashing ever so gently upon the sandy shore
The soft breeze on my skin as I frolick along
Careless and free
Beside me, a kind companion
She leaps and zooms around me
Like a majestic gazelle
Her spotted fur dancing in the wind
In this moment we are not connected to reality
Our hearts are singing the songs of the ocean
Our energy matching the bright warmth of the sun
We were never meant to be tamed
Chained to a life that isn't ours
We were born of the earth
God's perfect little creatures
We are as free as the birds that travel the skies above us
And even more precious

I'm sorry your happiness can be limited to the length of your last cigarette.
I'm sorry that your eyes look like a rough ocean because they are so filled with tears.
I'm sorry that your thoughts loudly beat you when you're trying to sleep.
And I'm sorry I can't draw you the way I see you.
But you see...
Your mind is writing a story that only you can read.
And it's so easy for you to believe that it makes it difficult for other people to tell you otherwise.
But I'm still going to try.
Because when I look at you, my eyes tell a completely different story.
And it's beautiful and exciting,
And one day,
One day you'll see it too.
Your cigarette will burn up and you won't need another one.
Your tears will dry
And you will sleep
And you will dream.
And you will see the world in a different way.
And you will finally be
Happy.

Hush my dear
You're only 26
Tell me, for what do you fear?
Surely nothing God can't fix
Pack it away
Close the box
Rest in Him and pray
Let God be your rock
For the battle you face
Was never yours to fight
Remember His grace
Rest easy into the night
Tomorrow will come
All too quickly I'm sure
Don't worry, you're not in a slum
You're just being matured
For all good things take time
Be patient and know
That God's plan is sublime
He only wants you to grow
To heal your wounds
The ones filled with shame
Resisting to bloom
Hiding from His name
Give it to Him
Set them free
I hate to see you so grim
It's not like you to take the plea
It's time to pick up the pieces
And finish the puzzle
Smooth out the creases
And nuzzle
In the comforting arms of the father
In His calm presence so true
That is what I urge you to harbour
What I pray you will do
For it is only in Him
That we find strength
Without which our chances are narrowly slim
Our journey a longer length
So darling, have faith
Have courage, be brave
In His peace you shall bathe
For when it comes to fear
You are no longer a slave

I'm fairly fond of your face
The feral look in your eyes
Sends feverish chills down my spine
I'm fragile don't you know?
But you, you're unforgiving
You forage among the foliage
Forever searching for a delicate flower
Feeble she may be
You assure her not to flee
Not to fear
That you can free her
Her eyes flicker and flutter at the thought
How fascinating a fantasy
That her fate could be changed
She is fooled by your fake smile
Forgotten in your fickle nature
For you told her she could fly
But that was a frozen lie
Forsaken now
She must follow her own feet
Once again failing to see
That she deserves more than a ******* freak
Whose frail ego finds no rest
And only fills her with dread
Fly away little fairy
There's a frenzy of fish in the sea
Ready to feast on your flesh
While you're still young and fresh
A fit little fawn
They flock to you
Like a fly to a light
You stand frigid in fright
Don't fall now
It's just a bit of fun
It's not finished until they say it's done
Have faith my dear
This game is not fixed
You can still take flight
Fly high into the night
Far away from here
There's no need to fear
Don't you dare wave that flag
Fix your eyes on the furthest point you can see
Forget the past, it's such a drag
Float away
Finally set yourself free.

Bring me back, O Lord
To the land of milk & honey
Where the rivers run free and unburdened
Set my heart on Heavenly things
Touch my eyes with Your light
For Yours is the kingdom
My dear Lord

Bring me back to the mountains
That stand so sturdy & strong
Let me not be weak
Hold me in your arms
O Great One
For Your love is an everlasting one
One I am unworthy of
But one you give so graciously

O Lord, my God
My healer, my rock
Speak to me through these winds
That feel so cold & rough
Let it be known
That you are mightier
Than any storm
Any sword or arrow
That tries to pierce my soul

You are worthy
You are the way
The way out & the way in
Into Paradise, out of darkness
You've come to save Your sheep
So lost & alone
But you are here, You are ours
And we are Yours
We are your children, Your servants
Do with us as You please

O Lord, grant us peace
Shower us in Your everlasting love
For Yours is the kingdom
And You, our king

She was a rose,
She opened up to anyone who brought the slightest bit of light into her life.

She was beautiful,
But people took her beauty for granted,
Plucking at her every chance they got.
They picked off her petals
And ripped apart her leaves
And gave her a new name.

She grew thorns and wouldn't allow anyone to touch her
To protect herself from being hurt.

And without her petals,
No matter how many people told her,
She would not believe
That she was beautiful.

— The End —
