Fall From Grace

Fall From Grace

The light of the sun warms me as I drink hot dark coffee.
The trees stand still and sway not in the cool morning air.
Another day I have lived.
Lived and not failed.
Lived and not regretted.
Lived and not died.
Remnants of my life lay scattered through this house, a photo on the wall, books , a dried flower from the garden.
I will smile.
I will let tears of hope, wonder and joy express my happiness.
For a woman like me who has fallen from grace.
To be loved by a man like you with perfect love.

TheFight

The Fight

Life can be a walking grave.
A black tunnel of no response.
On the wings of a storm came the near death of my existence.
Ominous , impending.. devastating.
I still rode the waters, still traveled the journey.
Till every day was the same struggle.
The direction never seemed to change.
My mind fought to tell me.
It is I who am the captain of the journey.
Yet I am drawn to the impending doom of suffering I forced on myself.
The swell of this ship is frightening and dangerous.
As I look behind me, the horror of my predicament will scream a thousand horrors in my mind.
Yet I sail on, I glance to the east of me, the other ships are prevailing.
They are tattered and worn, ships smaller than mine, more battered, more weary, yet they had not yet given up the fight.
Hope…. is the ray I must sail on.
Exhausted I go on .. till dawn of sunset prevails and the storm has past.
I LIVE.
To obtain that desire I had to almost die to see beyond the storm…
to see the reality of what morning could become.

Beyond Time

The begginning of forever started when I looked at your face.

Could time so suddenly stand still?

Your voice a warm touch on my soul..soothing me with your quiet grace.

Could love be this emotion that I feel?

No longer does my heart feel like clay,
so fragile and hollow inside.

But a strength grows in me so strong and so free,

I finally feel like I'm alive.

No mountain, no valley , no one and no thing.

Will end this bond of love with you.

Beyond days and beyond time, will I live in your embrace.

To be your one true love.

Just Like Jesus

He was blind from birth and a beggar no one cared for.
He spent all of his days much the same way at the temple.
But then the Master pased by ,
put the clay in his eyes.
Darkness had to flee.
His blinded eyes had been a miracle,
made so other men would see.

Isn't that just like Jesus?
To open eyes of the blind.
Always caring for others,
Sent to save all mankind.
Heal the sick and set the captives free,
Calm a raging stormy sea.
Isn't that just like Jesus.
He would make the blind to see.

I was cold deep within full of sorrow ,
had no friends , when He found me.
I was hurt and all alone,
had no love to call my own,
when He saved me.
I was so blind I should have died,
but instead to Him I cried,
and He Forgave Me.

Isn't that just like Jesus?
To open eyes of the blind.
Always caring for others.
Sent to save all mankind.
Heal the sick and set the captives free.
Calm a raging stormy sea.
Isn't that just like Jesus.
To save a blinded man like me?

A Walk From Heaven

Your kiss was like a walk back from heaven.
I never want to leave this place.
Time stands motionless.
I draw an inward breath and swim deeply into your eyes.
Azure blue raphosody.
Singing a song only we can sing.
Two hearts of love we know so well.
No words spoken to break the spell.
I never want to leave this place.
Wordless glances,eyes on fire,
untamed melody of desire.
Brief embrace,caress your face.
I stand still and hold my breath.
I never want to leave this place.

Beyond

Beyond the meadows green with grass and daffodiles of gold,
Beyond the rambling mountains tall and rivers winding old.
Beyond the oceans blue foam mist,
Beyond the strawberries sweetly kissed,
Beyond the clouds far in the sky,
Beyond this place that I will die,
Beyond this earth to heaven's gate
My eternal family awaits.

The Captive

A quiet step I entered in.
My breath an inward draw.
A quiver on my lips I felt,
as I looked at you in awe.

I saw your mortal body lay,
like porcelin your face.
My fingers to cold lips I pressed.
My heart, a last embrace.

Gone your presence,
from this shell.
So easily I see.
The human captive,
in life's embrace.
At last has been set free.

Earthen bond's of pain and death,
were layed at heaven's door.
Glorius change now on your face,
No tears forevermore.

Deep into the night I am walking.. on this cold distant shore.
My memories are shattered, at what I imagined life was for..
Holding onto the dream ,I would find what was meant to be.
I cast all my worries far into the raging sea.
I no longer look behind me, I no longer fear the past.
My heart believes in forever and that true love can really last.
Some things I have left behind me, somethings still linger within.
Into the dark night I keep walking... searching for a friend.
A faraway light is calling, out on a faraway shore.
I see my destination, it is you I am searching for.

Inside My Tears
Inside this tear is all my destiny.
But tonite it holds my pain.
Sometimes it carries joy unspeakable.
But tonite it stings like rain.
I am looking for a hero.
I am looking for a friend.
Our life is fragile for a moment.
We will fly or we will spin.
Tears can be a new beginning.
Or tears can be the final end.
Hold my hand or let me go now.
Don't look back to where we've been.
When I was small, tears held no memories.
Mama's hands wiped them away.
But I'm grown now and their burden.
They come back longer and to stay.
We stand close, you pull me near you.
You kiss away a single tear.
It becomes a part of you now.
It erases all my fears.
I am looking for a hero.
I am looking for a friend.
Our life is frangile for a moment.
We will fly or we will spin.
