In the midst of working thru
What bothered me
In the dark, dead of night
Frightened, scary, morose
And all those things
That I need not care about
Nor harbour in my heart
Not now
Or in the still
Dead quiet of the night
No, I need not.

Solely knowing the past, present
and the distant future
are one.
They are my life, my breath
and
my soul.
Let it be good
let it leave a lasting impression
on those that know.
This life I’m living
this life
this, the only one I’ll ever know.

I feel your presence
Your breath softly
Falling in and out
I hear your call
Your mournful voice
Reaching out
I remember
Your presence here
Now gone
I miss you
I miss you so
My love
You’re all
All
I think about.

Thinking and planning
figuring out
what
I’ll do today
The future’s open
ready
waiting
for my decision
Exciting
these feelings
I’m letting be real
First
in my mind
then
in my life
And
finally
My heart.

Stolen
from my mind.
Lost
in the wilderness
of
confusion, despair.
Solely injured
from
brutal stabs
of
casual indifference.

I wonder what
I will say
What I’ll see
In the morning
Unfolding
Just before me.
No breath is taken
Carelessly
Holding on
Moving forward
Knowing I have
Heaven and earth
Backing me.

As I sit here facing life
Must decide my mission
The way I choose
To ride the ups and downs
The about face
The turnarounds
No road is straight
No path without a winding curve
Negotiate
Living life on your own terms.

Every time
I hear your heart beat
my breath is taken away
Every time
Every time
my heart does race
when I feel your love so near
Every time
Every time
my soul seeks
refuge in the love we share
I know I will be safe
Every time
Every time

A smile changes you
And
The world you smile upon.

Falling down
Needing forgiveness
Falling down
Because of you
I need no other
I only need
The likes of you.
You will show me
The way
To redemption
The path to forgiveness
As
I see how forgiveness
Has
Forgiven you.
