The Unwanted Ones

I am not alone
I hear the beating next to me
Yet there is someone else
Always watching over me
I am being moved
Something tugs upon my arm
Then I feel the pain
My leg is ripped away from me
My eyes are tightly closed
I am surrounded by the dark
Then everything is cold
The chills are running down my spine
I can no longer breathe
I cannot feel anymore
Thought...ceases
And so, now, my life ends
 

Then there is a brilliant light
It shines so brightly and so white
Someone holds my body near
And I feel His love, crystal clear

Awakening

The wind whistles through the bare tree tops
The dead grass rustles in the graveyard
The dry flowers wilt to the ground
The stone markers are cold and unforgiving

Something here is still alive
Something is not quite right
A premonition comes over me
I shiver in delight

I look in every opening
Each devoid of any life
Frustration drives me on and on
The freezing rain grazes my skin like a knife

Faster, faster I run the paths
Finding nothing at all
I bring my eyes up off the trail
They settle on a wall

This is it, what I seek
I know it to be true
The wall cracks open and light seeps out
The sight is strange and new

I step into the light
Warmth encompasses me
And for once, for sure
I could finally see

Longing

The night wind blows; it circles in the sky
It brushes past my face; it sings and it sighs
And I wonder as I gaze at the expanse of bright stars
Could this lonely wind carry a piece of me to your heart

The song of my soul reaches out to you
An aching melody, the notes clear and true
And it echoes in the valley just beyond my lightest touch
Soaring through the darkness on the wings of hope and trust

The heartbeat of time pulses steadily
Each breath we take, the closer are we
And all melts into something altogether quite unique
The pieces fit together; the puzzle is complete

Covenant

Now and Forever, I praise your name
You are my hearts desire
You cleanse me of blame
A purging eternal fire

Like you promised, you fill me
You make me complete
You set me free
I lay my life at your feet

You blow my mind away again
Incomprehensible, undeniable
Yet you still forgive my sin
I'm so unworthy, you are holy

Great God, I can't see
How You could love someone like me
Mighty God, I struggle to grasp
The wonder of Your Ways

Thorn in my Side

My heart screams out to all who've gone before

Who've walked this dark and arduous path

The mind clouded over with pain

The senses numb in silent agony

It is a fate I would wish on no one

To face such adversity every day

One's thoughts stretching to reach for clarity

As pain dulls the spark of imagination

A shroud of sadness sweeps across my eyes

When I realize I am one to bear this burden

Author’s Creed

Reveries that brush the mind and

Shadows of the past

Tangle me in fantasy.

Marvelous.

Fascination of archaic

Baubles hold me fast,

Wrap my self in worlds away.

Delightful.

Isolation in a place that

Fills me with longings

Rescues me from common,

Transforms me.

In my mind am I a creature

Worthy of great things.

Imaginations beckon.

What is real?

Passion for magnificence in

An often dreary world.

How can I combine the two?

Writing.
