learning light

Taking a little time to slow the march and 
Cool the tempo and calm the mind
Reaching into center to find what is here
To learn how to soften the edge of fight and fear

Standing on the lively shore of life to 
Watch the ripples of change go out to 
Watch the tides of change come in
To learn how to silence this ever present din

Learning, leaning on love, for and from others
Loving self and forgiving the past and present
To see how we all can reach a point together 
In the future—with light and truth resplendent



heart bare

The world will never be the same
From when He lived and died and came
Back, to save us from ourselves

The sparrow knows His love and care
The lily in the field stands aware
So I will also know and stand, heart bare
To let the Savior of the world come near

He lives and loves us without end
From before the world began 
Into the eternal realm, unceasing



saving us

silence draws out hope
resurrection still unseen 
face faith's tomorrow 



i forgot

I walked until my heart was weary
With all the cares and hopes we had
Because it took so long I fainted 
With sorrow on the road with no sight
Of rest or relief I lay myself down 
For just one moment longer than I should
And I forgot for a moment, a mere pause really, 
Of why I fought so hard 
Of why I stood on my raw and thrashed feet 
For so very long
I forgot what it feels like to be loved
Because the love I need has never 
Shown its face to me
