Why am I Here
| quietly approaching through the wondering of a lost soul, the alleys and valleys of a dry heart, is a love not yet accepted |
| not yet ignored |
| for when will the door open only a sliver to allow light, only a second for eternity, to reveal the grace of love |
| grace of God |
| overwhelm the body to its knees crying out pain of lives impure crying out praises to the lord desiring to know more of his forgiveness |
| of his grace |
| so we beg to serve him today praying that they will be useful praying to repay a priceless gift that has already been paid in full |
| been given |
| for when will their guidance arrive reveal and show the door |
| let me know |
| to supply encouragement and love until wide swing the arms of beauty |
| arms of love |

Creeps Ever Closer
torn, tattered I’m left alone
sitting while wondering
thoughts turn cold
the world darkens
feeling flutters helplessly
as it topples
slowly yet confidently
till there’s nothing
left in me.
darkness creeps ever closer
my heat evades it’s encroach
cooling body to mind
then it all stops
Suddenly,
without prompting
life stands still?
nature halts for this
hands caressing mid-flight rain
as the lord gently
calms, caresses, cares
for his son living his will
best he can
in a dark world.

Slowly Falling Away
sinking quietly away
through sands unseen
to anyone but me
this life I live day by day
takes everything to stay
till it will topple over
| suffocating, up to down. |
mixed with confusion and pain
turn to the open embrace
the one whose never left
a father in heaven who reigns
forever, perfectly loving his child
who’ll always fall short
| his love and glory |
his gift of grace to much
to accept or understand
till memories of him
flood my heart once again.
