This Morning

This morning

I walked and saw

The glory of a rising sun,

And the elegance held by

Dancing shadows.

Soft breezes

Bent each bough

But not to break,

As all of nature seems to coordinate itself

Or more correctly,

God keeps things running.

He operates with heavenly efficency.

This morning

I walked and saw

The paved roads,

Made by toiling souls

Who are underpaid and overworked,

And then realized the trouble with that.

It's difficult to know

That each of us have shortcomings

That cannot be put to rest.

The system does not forgive,

Not like God

Who washes away our sins through Jesus Christ.

This morning

I walked then stopped

At my front door,

And was thankful

That I am provided for.

Awkward Angles

Awkard angles,

It can be so hard sometimes,

To convey your emotions into words;

Your passions into actions.

It just swirls around in your brain

Until you can't see straight,

And the thought is lost.

But don't give up hope,

Because you've failed once,

For there is always another chance,

And if you choose to take this,

You could change the world.

The Tower

Profound glory surrounds

My quickening heart

And these firey hues

Ignite my soul,

The very core of my

Being.

The corners of my lips

Tug upward until

Laughter breaks forth

Composing a song of innocence

So sweet a melody that is uttered.

The power of the Lord surrounds me,

And there is no reason to be of contrite heart,

For what is there to reminisce,

When this wonder before my eyes

Melts my heart

Until tears of joy

Flow like a river.

Just look around yourself

And you'll know too

Of His presence

Underneath,

Over top,

Behind,

And inside you.

We can't even fully understand

But that's alright

Because that would take away

From discovering

Magnificence.

Just follow me

Let's go to cross,

As the children we were meant to be,

Mindless of our old lives,

And in this storm {this beautiful storm}

Sins will be lifted

As a butterfly lifts

Her wings to fly freely

To places only God can tell.

Uncontrollable happiness

Is what we will bathe in.

And when we are freshly cleansed,

Then we will awake.

There again is the house I grew up in.

And there's the school

That shaped my childhood,

Oh! And my parents

Adoringly watching

Their son grow up.

You see, it never goes away;

The world around us

Is still here for a while,

But the thing that has changed,

I've found,

Is inside us.

He took the nails

So we can be free.

My soul is changed,

And this is the starting to a new story.

Fall's Here

Crashing waves,
No,
Falling leaves

Are my emotions
Dancing and swaying in the wind
Taken by the smallest breeze

And floating till eternity's end.
Until then,
I'll spend

My time in deep thought
For the battle's
Been fought

So why am I still scared
Of the shadows in the night?
I need to let go.

I want to show
My trust, so ernest,
But how can I if it is not true?

Falling leaves,
The beauty of Fall
Will beckon me

He whispers a call
To take my burden
From the ground

And walk until I've found
His love
Hidden in the smallest cave.

But maybe I don't quite understand,
Because I don't have to search for His love
When it's the winds lifting my emotions

Out of the dirt,
To be softly caressed
Among the clouds.

Walking

Please stay,

No don't shudder to hear me say

That my God saved me from the night;

Freeing me from the fight.

Time gives way to thought

And thinking do I realize,

That nothing would be the same without Him.
