last night
I dreamt about
Nathan
so while I sleep
he’s still here
sleep
“Just Me”
I’m not like anyone else
just me
and there are moments when that’s great
and there are other moments
I wish I always saw through God’s eyes
always saw the heart
just the heart
in myself
in others
in Him
I worship the way I worship
I dance the way I dance
sometimes drool when I sleep
I’m just me
and when I walk in my shoes
there’s Power
Language of the Light
I love my kids and the way we love each other. It’s not perfect, but it’s real, and one thing we all care about is where each other is during the night, so we talk through the porch light, which speaks louder than words. Continue reading
“A Couch that Speaks”
breathing
peace
sounds from the couch
what’s God doing to my heart
breathing
asleep
restful break from the park
a home to feel comfortable in
breathing
snoring
in clean clothes with a shave
another night spent in warmth
breathing
serenity
being accepted as-is
being loved and spoiled with food
breathing
resting
once a boy, now old man
a son and a father to others
breathing
coughing
life’s taken its toll
health that seems to be weak
breathing
waking
to realize time’s passed
the park awaits his presence
breathing
peace
sounds from the couch
what’s God doing to my heart
“Awakened By My Heart”
Awakened: my soul from a sweet, deep sleep
eyes closed
calmly breathing
thoughts of you
Who is this man who’s entered my sleep
Who’s roamed through my day
lept into my heart
my mind
Awakened: by poetry that nourished my soul
my beauty within
aligning with Him
breathes the fullness of heaven
Who is this man who’s kind and sweet
favorite color
deepest dream
What thoughts enter “his” mind, while he sleeps
Awakened: my life from a heart untouched
waiting for God
feelings unknown
yet trusting
I’m awake
