The tenderest prayer flies on the wings of desperation Over the yawning chasm of doubt and disbelief Till, like the butterfly with borrowed veins of steel, It lights upon the finger of God Unfolding all the beauty of a faith-filled heart.
Watchman
I sit, perched on the wall, Dreaming of things to come, Outwardly unseeing as my inner eyes take over. The battlefield in front of me Lies littered with casualties of an unseen war While the afternoon sun shines brightly Over a city unaware. People go about their days Consumed with the details of life as […]
Possibilities
Holy Spirit, I feel possibilities this morning, Like I could really let go and let You… Somehow I feel Your presence here In a different way than before As if… it feels like a pregnancy, An expectancy, an overshadowing, new-creation presence… I can’t figure out how to put it, But I feel like new life […]
Control
Father… You are in control. I… am not.. A passion woke up inside me That’s always been there— Slumbering away for years.

untitled

Even my joys and angers can barely Poke themselves out of the bundle. Lately, the whirlwind pulls in All my hopes and dreams until The […]
Cosmic Romance
When the night comes and the light dims, Heaven’s Bright Son sings my heart hymns. All the stars thrum with His vibrance— Ceaseless heartbeat, cosmic romance.
Shelter
I lie wakeful, Tossing and turning, Wondering when or if I will sleep again, Till finally I get up and wander out here… I have been soaking my mind with You All night long, Listening to the same song, Hoping to arm myself Against the recesses of darkness That lurk in my heart. I cannot […]
Starting Over Again
Once again I have destroyed myself, Bowed down by the storms of life, Bent over from the strain, The winds of self-doubt whip through my soul. To know truth in my intellect is not The same as knowing truth in my heart… So, I wind up back at the beginning— A lump of clay malformed, […]
