some pictures
are worth 2000 words
because of what’s
going on
behind the smiles
words
“Lyrics”
sometimes
smiles
hide the pain
sometimes
silence
hides the rage
sometimes
words
can’t say it all
sometimes
songs
only matter
before I lose my mind
on purpose
I wanna remember You
when life’s bridge
gives way
it’s You Who pulls me through
if there’s a beginning
then there’s an end
as each story’s written
there’s no need to pretend
just live each moment
and fill each day
with life’s precious memories
as part of the play
“Roadblocks”
in marriage (and relationships)
if you’re on a different page
communication’s muddled
if you’re in a different chapter
you’ll feel miles apart
if you’re in a different book
well that’s another story
“Trapped”
my definition
is having
hope
of never
getting
out
Thinking Well
Some of the deepest thoughts take the fewest words.
“Bawlroom”
I feel like
they’re angels
dancing in my heart
to the words
that haven’t been spoken
or written
“Jabs”
I wonder
how many words
were spoken
to the camel
before the straw
broke its back
“Backfire”
through this “art” of writing
I’ve been attacked many times
which has only strengthened me
to write
“Silent Rivers”
I wonder where tears go
that hide inside
behind a fake smile
behind a strong heart
behind a new future
do they join rivers of living water
and flow out in joy?
