Dream a little dream for me As tomorrow nears And the night closes its eyes Or maybe it keeps them open waiting for morning Or maybe tomorrow is a continuance of today Or maybe we can sweep it away in solitude for brighter things to come Whatever the case.... Goodnight today Welcome hope New mercies … Continue reading Good night world

Who am I?
Who am I if the world stops turning for a moment And I'm left with the quiet and the night Who am I when grace is the only option Because, alone, I'm never enough And grace says that's still okay. Who am I in the face of lunchboxes and routines? Who am I when I'm … Continue reading Who am I?
Random thoughts from the tired
If you and I were "I and me" and the world were nothing but trees and bees, would any of it matter? If I and you were, you and me, and there was nothing but us and song and "free", would it be worth fighting for? Just wondering... Deep thoughts in the midst of a … Continue reading Random thoughts from the tired
Life is…
Life is walking on Life is waking up in the morning Life is doing what it takes to roll out of bed when the alarm is too harsh and the sleep is too short Life is kids making you crazy Life is partners making you wonder, "what in the world?!?" Life is struggle Life is … Continue reading Life is…
On Six and Legacy
I remember six. What it was to go down to my grandfather's basement and sing at the top of my lungs while he played guitar. I remember chords and burning and the life and longing that only comes with a great song. I remember faces beaming and proud looks screaming "legacy". I remember the look … Continue reading On Six and Legacy
Who are you?
Do you ever think about who's out there listening I write this blog, throw these ideas into the air But I'll never know who hears them. Who sees beyond the void... I think of the words that have changed my life The moments I stumbled across something that shook me to my soul. There are … Continue reading Who are you?
Listening
The dark can be so daunting The light can seem so dim Still, from heaven, you are calling. Can I hear your voice again? No fear in death or life, though all of hell presses in Your voice, the roaring lion, shatters mountains and hangs on the wind. Still small voice, speak to me. I'm … Continue reading Listening
Missing
Tomorrow is a glass half full. Tonight is a memory. I exhale with baited breath to find myself on my knees. And I know it's "worth it" if I die another day. And I know there's purpose in the things I choose not to say. But it was you and me against the world until … Continue reading Missing
At the end of “us”
See me in "forever". Don't let the clock run out on us. Find me in this moment when the trust dissolves into dust. If I am breathing let me feel. If I'm lost, find a light. But you and I and forever may be gone without a fight. Because you've given up and I am … Continue reading At the end of “us”
Unhinged
I sit in silence for hours and days while the world passes by unhinged. I watch the clock dismantle and in haze because time no longer makes sense. Then I breathe and remember that today will be gone in an instant and tomorrow will either repeat the same or be glorious. Tonight I choose the … Continue reading Unhinged
