Steps
Steps.
Not just
leaps
bounds
or big moves.
Steps
baby steps
small
insigificant
but still steps.

Beauty
there is beauty
in
simple things
like
green leaves
blue sky
sunshine
things spring brings.
but
more importantly
there is beauty
in
imperfection.
strive less for
cultural precision
and
worldly wholeness
and more for
simply Godly
beautiful.

We are He is
We are multi
He is one.
We are faulty
He is perfect.
We are sinful
He is holy.
We are lost
He's the way.
We can fail
We do fail.
He can't fail
He doesn't fail.
Rest in that.
Remember,
Remember that.

A Sliver
Sunlight, I see
sunlight.
Through the clouds,
grey, fluffy, and white,
I can see a glimmer,
a hope, a twinkle, a sliver of
sunlight.

Alone.
I sit alone,
almost always alone.
I'm okay alone,
not always alone.

Sometimes, I like alone,
other times,
I hate alone.

Passageways
Halls leading to nowhere
but always somewhere.
Can you see all the way,
All the way down
the hall?

It does not matter because,
at the end of the day,
Someone will fall,
down, down, down,
the passageway.

Love, His Love
Love, His love.
Where would I be?
Love, His love.
It pulls me to Himself.
Love, His love.
It holds me firmly and tenderly.
Love, His love.
I am safe, always safe.
Love, His love.
Never will He let me go.
Love, His love.
Make me love more and more.

Unnoticed

Unnoticed, I walk unseen.

It should not be,

but to me, it is my life.

Like something always there,

like dirt or clouds or sunshine,

I sit, I sit, I sit

and watch the world go by.

I do love me, I love my life.

Sometimes though I wish

I was not invisible. Not unseen.

Sometimes I wish, I was not me.

Despite
Despite my failures,
He is faithful.
Despite my sins,
He is forgiving.
Despite my shortcomings,
He is gracious.
Despite me,
He is Him.

Determined

I'm fighting back.

It is time. 

I have to fight this.

I have it in me. 

I know I do. 

The question is

will you care if

I fight? No.

But I will

care.

I will not give in 

to you.

I can fight this and

I'll win.

Scream Out
Why do I fight?
These feelings, these consuming feelings,
eat away at my soul.
Should I bother to seek out healing?
My soul, my heart scream
out, yes! Do what you need.
Plead, cry, scheme.
Anything to find my happiness.
My happiness.
