from the outside
in
ready to destroy
working hard to bring
death
to life
knowing how to
tear down
watered
all around
forming quicksand
for no one
to come near
one
right
after
the
other
domino effect
of thoughts
never good
never helpful
always deceiving
until
water’s under your feet
quicksand
pulling you
under
buried alive
in negative thinking
poems
“Silent Thinking”
it’s funny
there’re times I have thoughts
that feel condemning
before they come
yet
those very thoughts
are known by God
before they come Continue reading
“Sands”
God is so very gentle with me
He knows my thoughts
and understands
if I find love
that can’t be found
He’s there
waiting to comfort
if my soul gives up Continue reading
“Long-Term”
it doesn’t take long
for people to be forgotten
unless you love them
then the memory lasts
forever
“Running”
Would they ever know
If my shadow came up missing
Would they ever know
If I hid in some disguise
Blending in with darkness
Never seemed to be appealing
But then again
It’s the perfect place to hide Continue reading
“Contemplation”
an open book without words
a thought without expression
a song without lyrics
moments without talking
silence with noise
advancing without moving
rising while staying grounded
“Retreat”
something’s going on in my heart
I can’t explain it
it doesn’t seem bad
it seems quiet
“Purest Honey”
a
place
so
secret
only
God
will
find
a
place
so
private
only
God
will
know
a
place
so
open
only
God
will
hear
a
place
raining
tears
only
God
will
collect
“Swimming Pool”
pushing away from the side
feeling the weight of His Love
floating to the deep end
pulling me under
deep
calls
to
deep
not needing air
only needing to float
not needing to struggle
in His unending Love
