“Detachment”
when God calls you in a different direction
He detaches you
from your current location
from some of your friends
from what you thought ‘was’
have you ever heard
‘my heart’s not in it’
I wonder why
“Just One More Time”
broke and broken
regular jobs won’t work
when you’re spoiled
in getting what you want
so you sell what you live in
‘it’s just a body anyway’ Continue reading
“A Heart that’s Seen”
if I hide my heart how will you know me
if I hide my heart what will be healed
if I hide my heart where will I follow
if I hide my heart what will I lead
if I hide my heart when will I grow
“What the Mind Sees”
so
I just saw a video of me flagging
and don’t see what you see
[sigh]
I saw
fat arms
flat hair
myself
and didn’t see much beauty
[sigh]
still growing
still believing
wanting to see what you see

“A Bully’s Soul”

“Personal Paradise”
On the mountain
wind blowing freely
a view untouched
By the ocean
the sound of waves
crashing on the soul
In the forest
trees standing tall
praising heaven
In a meadow

Places in my heart:
where God’s on the throne
where love becomes real
where dreams are destiny
where moments are lived
“The Aroma of Love”
In my heart burns a flame
out of this flame
is the aroma of love
breathed in
swallowed
released to others
to be
breathed in
swallowed
released to others
through the burning
of a flame in a
heart of love
