Mighty is the Wind
Current mood: optimistic
Category: Writing and Poetry

Listen for the wind,
As it rushes unannounced.
Walking an invisible path,
Destruction in its wake.

The strength of armies
In its roar, the power of oceans
It its breath,
Mighty is the wind.

Come, thou, mighty wind.
Shake these hallows bare.
Leave nothing left save life itself,
I'm certain to remain.

For I know you stand beside me.

Hope’s Advice

I met Hope today.
Her smile warm,
Her eyes like ocean.
Her words an arrow to my heart.

She said I should...
Believe.

Light and Darkness
Category: Writing and Poetry

Strong towers are made weak
By strong holds of darkness.
The power of darkness
Pierces where there is no light.

Evil overcomes
Where good has gone undone.
In the blackness of night,
Hearts turn to stone.

Raise up the sun to shine down.
Send rays to valley's depth.
Light the wick of my broken heart
And melt away this waxy stone.

What I call "Home"

Grace beyond measure
Hope beyond belief
My faith has found a resting place,
My heart, a warm embrace.

meltdown

tears form at my eyes,
emotions crying out to be heard.
locked behind the veil,
concealed from your sight.

burning just to feel something,
the flame melts hardened shell.
new life breathed to old cells,
a scar has been removed.

i feel again.

fresh air

Take a breath,
Breathe new air.
The fog has lifted
From morning dew.
Water still clings
Where clouds once formed,
A reminder of the passing night.

Lord, I come

This is my first attempt at actual song-writing. I have a melody with a very simple chord-progression (G, D, C, G--very basic melody line). It isn't amazing, but it is a start! I'm really rather excited about it.

Lord, I come broken before you.
Lord, I've done unthinkable things.
Lord, I'm done living for me only.
Lord, I've come to give myself to you.

And though I've traveled far from grace,
You have held me in your hand
And brought me to this place, once again.
Despite unwillingness to change,
You have melted through these chains,
Lord, I come to give myself to you.

Lord, I come broken before you.
Lord, I've done unthinkable things.
Lord, I'm done living for me only.
Lord, I've come to give myself to you.

The Way to Your House

The way to your house,
Steps once so familiar.
I've walked this road so
Many times before, but
Now uncertain path lies ahead.
Has it really been this long?

O, friend, how I miss you.
Seems like years since we last spoke.
Weeds and vines have overgrown
A garden once well-groomed.
My iron need sharpening
And countenance upheld.

Bid memory guide my feet.
Grant me access to your house
I need to visit with a friend.

Another Lovely Tuesday

Face down in hands' cradle,
Tears form at my eyes.
Familiar posture derived
By thoughts of you.

Nothing stops the bleeding.
And time and space produce no balm.
This cut remains the deepest still,
And sutures provide no remedy.

My broken pieces once were found,
Glued in place by love and fate.
Still they leave a lasting scar,
A puzzle incomplete.

Ocean of Thought

Thoughts of you are like the ocean,
Immense and unpredictable.

Tides change by moon's beckoning and
Violent storms arise from your expanse.

Steady winds, weakened by land,
Lose power in your absence.

Like the wind, I too, am weakened
And drowning in thoughts of you.
