The earth spins round until we are dizzy
Maybe today is tomorrow again or yesterday unleashed.
I don’t know
But I know I love you
And I know you and I are fixed in space and moment
And love is bigger than now
Eternity unleashed in the presence of my heart
Maybe it’s enough
If not, I’ll try again tomorrow
Spin round
Find the lights
Is there a melody?
Music brings life
I can’t breathe without melody
Who are you?
Find me tonight
Bring me song and lyric
And tomorrow I will wonder what I was looking for
I sit at the table of a hundred imaginings
Holding my breath for the light
And the darkness can feel suffocating at times
But the light encompasses
And I wait for the music to rescue so I can sing along
But tonight, melody is fleeting
But God…
Superlative and encompassing
Beautiful and victorious in the midst of me.
Hope can be found in breathes…in moments when I inhale and exhale song and melody and the brooding chaos of the ache.
Tonight, the song can capture the waking wonder and I can imagine tomorrow
And maybe that’s enough
I’ll keep you posted.
I’m just a ghost figure in the corner watching my life walk by in shadow while I keep breathing.
Control is an illusion for the “other ones” on the outside calling the shots.
Faith is a bridge I’m building
Tomorrow is a dream worth living
So I breathe
So I call tomorrow a promise
Knowing is luxury
Trusting is strength
I’ll let go and watch my wax wings melt and maybe pull off a miracle before the fire and sea consume me.
Better yet, I’ll watch God work the miracle for me
Until fruition, I am free. Until tomorrow, there is now.
Watch as I split the sky and bring thunder!
Watch as His glory unfolds.
Few times, in my life, have I ever felt this exhausted.
Blow me down like the air pumped into a balloon and I will pop
Mull me over with words and I will implode to nothing
Sink me in the earth with a step and I will cave to dust
Sleep is underrated to the, truly, tired!
The promise of heaven on a pillow where nothing comes in but surrender.
These are the nights that test the soul.
And I stand waking with the promise of dreams while the world slumbers.
Life is messy
Sleep is treasure and my pillow is screaming lullabies that should be quiet
In the place of the mind where the quiet goes to die, I wait
Until tomorrow when the siren blazes another day has come.
Until then, don’t speak or I may blow away.
When steal hearts rust, the breeze is threatening.
Goodnight world. I’ll see you on the other side.
I refuse to walk into the night cold. I will find a blanket.
If my heart is stone, I will find softener.
Life is too short for callousness. There is no option but love.
I may not know who I am, fully, but I know who I will not be!
I will fight with you, beside you, among you, until the battle is won, because that is who I am.
Let the ashes fly. I will watch the blaze and rebuild.
Let the dawn fade to blaze and I will ride it until tomorrow.
I can look forward like a near-sighted,blind optimist; Bruised and broken along the way and loving every minute.
Humanity is hard sometimes. None of us are exempt.
Find the real! Find the broken! Reach beyond your understanding and love beyond! love unconditional! Be you! Be Jesus to those who need to know Him!
Don’t shy away from the hard things, these are the things that make you strong!
Maybe there’s something poetic about hiding in plain sight.
Or maybe it’s weakness.
Or maybe it’s strength to stay composed while the world crumbles and stirs around you.
Maybe it’s survival. Maybe it’s faith.
Maybe I’m not hiding at all! maybe I’m standing.
“Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.” Job 13:15
Sometimes, there aren’t words left…
I believe in words
I live on words
I relish language
On nights like tonight, words are left to ruin, and I can’t summon them up.
So I wait, in the silence….
And hope….
And pray….
And tomorrow I’ll begin again.
When words leave, there is trust, and something bigger than me will fill in the gaps, just sayin’…
It is human to look in the closet of broken dreams and wonder if you’ve done enough or been enough to sustain the hope.
But the closet holds so much hope! Never underestimate who you were and who you are now!
There’s no magic formula that makes us great. It’s in the showing up. Am I willing to show up today and tomorrow and keep going?
That is where the magic lies. Show up. Shine! Greatness is in a life ready to do the best one can tomorrow.
Will tomorrow be great? It’s up yo you. Screw today! Get out there and LIVE!
You are me when the light dims.
You are me when the light shines bright
We are one. We are whole!
Who knew?!?
If tomorrow were another moment in the realm of eternity, would we notice the light?
How bright can we shine NOW?!?
If we aren’t light, who are we?
Reach for light!
