a tiny box lies open before me,
i am unsure of what to put inside,
maybe i will offer a cry, a shedding of tears;
a letting go of feelings too strong to
I run.
Towards the forest and the trees.
Towards the rivers and the lakes.
Towards the desert and the hills.
Towards the deep and the plains.
I sink.
Deeper into the black.
Further
Out of uncertainty you have come alive.
Out of unbelief you have taken flight,
mounted the skies above you,
shaken the clouds with your mighty breath
and twisted the sun until it looked
In the middle of singing one of my favorite songs
I can hear you singing along with me
It makes me stop
Pause
Listen a little harder
Sometimes I turn and look for
I hear your words of advice
I listen, strain
To insure your voice
I am filled with sorrow
In need of your security
To hear your melodic songs, smooth as honey
Dance through
I am sitting here
In the place I saw
You last
Have I been so overlooked
That the shadow of Your
Leaning head has covered me
That I now appear
Like a dot
Take my heart.
Knife down the middle,
Spilling my love
Equally among the grass,
Among the sheets
We shouldn't have shared.
Take what was
Once a gift
For ransom.
For the
There was a once a day
when the sun would show strong
stronger than the black stain
against my white shirt
stronger than the tears
in my eyes
there was once a day
Listen.
Silence your thoughts
There is work to be done
Move with unmistakable swiftness
Let your feet be as silent as your mind
Breathe in the waves of the ocean
Receive the sands
