Timidly

No Comments

Timidly, he peeks under the door
Stilled by the sight he sees inside
First thought is to jump for joy
Second thought, to run and hide

He finds a space to rest and pray
In his God he dares confide
Mind and heart and spirit dance
One day three will coincide

He knows the river forever moves
Sees it rolling strong and wide
Into an ocean, oh so deep
Ebbing, flowing, with the tide

He chooses to open up the door
Erase the things that did divide
Trust in love, and trust in her
Leave the cold and doubt outside

Now’s the time to take the chance
In love and humble faith decide
Again he offers her his hand
Asks if she would be his bride

I love you.
Will you marry me?

Adrift

No Comments

Lost for a lifetime
Wanderings of the dark
Walking the fearful road
Dim and gray and stark

Lost for a lifetime
Freedom’s final glance
Living in aloneness
Afraid to take the chance

Lost for a lifetime
Hope all burned away
Hiding in the anger
Love has lost the way

Lost for a lifetime
God’s grace far from view
Misery robs the soul
Obscures what’s good and new

Lost for a lifetime
Fleeing heaven’s gift
Ride on winds of demons
The raft now set adrift

Lovers’ Mystic Flames

No Comments

Anxious dark longing
Gnawing at my soul
Only your sweet touch
Could ever make me whole

Fateful coupling dance
Fiery passionate trance
Beyond the great romance
Lover, take a chance

Wicked dark longing
Devouring your soul
Lovers’ mystic flames
Tonight, again made whole

When…

When we take the biggest chances
There is where we find the greatest changes
When we leap into God’s hand
There is where we find the destined reward

Let us fly toward the heavens
Let us sing today to Love
Let us hold hands together
Watched by angels up above

Where hope again blooms
There life is given new seed
Where life flows in joy and bliss
There God’s heart is seen

Seek the New Light

No Comments

Staring intently into visible hues
Searching again for what is not there
All that is real truly flows from the heart
Open your eyes; see God in the air

Power of grace, love and new light
Open your heart; feel all that there is
Dream a new thought; create a fresh start
Take a new chance; dive into the abyss

Surrender the belief that life is a trap
Open your mind; let new light appear
Create a fresh dawn, glowing and bright
Choose now to trust; seek God and draw near
