I feel gloriously small

like the way a child feels in their fathers arms

Or how a firefly fits in the palm of my hand

A gentle touch

Or locking eyes with a stranger

A kind of small that makes you run after the sun

And even as a storm rolls in I am free

And my feet sink in the grass

And I am praying to my God

As He holds me fast and lights my path

I am not afraid

Oh storm! Come get me now!...

Yellow sunflowers lay on my doorstep

They’ve been sitting there all day

I can’t seem to touch them

What if they fade away?

I want everything frozen

Give me colors that can stay,

Things that can’t be broken

Let me find a way!

Where songs can never end

And stories don’t need books

One breath can last forever

And static are our looks

This seems to be a fantasy

A world so out of reach

For h...

But out from hiding comes a whisper

Light grabs me from behind

My feet were deep in mud and mire

And now they are refined

No shadow wins

No darkness holds

The Father of the sun

The weight I carried such a distance

Has flown away so fast

I can not fathom how it happened

I am no longer cast

So find your way, my doom and gloom!

I now can see a smile

How undeserving one can be

Given gra...

My feet have stumbled far

Past fields of snow and dew

But Your presence is still with me

Even if my thoughts of you are few

I know that I am turned

My back faces the sun

The wind is strong against me

The churning has begun

My God, oh I have sinned!

And followed darkness fast

My feet, they lead me somewhere

But how much I long for the past

In my days where I remembered,

The good thing...

So flowers they fall

And money, it stings

But smiles and hugs

Last past the late spring

Gods patience is soaring

His words always strong

And I beg you so gently

To let “you” belong

Belong not to the waters

And not to the sky

But rather my daughter

To the truth, not the lies

I’m here and I’m waiting

With open arms I embrace

I give you my child

A love greater than chase

The chasing ...

Freedom?

The world offers none.

There are some things

Distractions I call them,

That like to twinkle their way into lives

Always there, yet never enough

How?

How is it that us humans walk from day to day in ignorance

We look at the sky

The sun reflecting off clouds, mere droplets of water floating in the sky

We swim in the ocean, bigger than we can wrap our tiny minds around

We hike up hills and...

I know my worth.

For I am more than the flowers, and even they are clothed with color

Yet, when I’m under the lights

And the silence get’s loud

That’s when the lies seep their way through me

And roll me off to sea

Oh water and ocean come find me!

And let the sand swallow my toes

Because I want to float away when I’m seen,

But to be seen is my greatest desire!

Why is it that roses are louder t...

Who am I to be loved

To open my eyes and see trees of every color

Details where beauty lies

Love avoids the rush

But upholds art of noticing

Of being present

Love is time wasted in one space too long

And running nowhere just to win a race

Love is being alone and being thankful

Love is a hug from a stranger

Holding hands with a parent no matter the age

Love is seeing little kids get messy i...

But above

From the beautiful breathtaking heavens

Comes my hope

It does not waver or take breaks

But hugs me from behind everywhere I go

Long for me, oh waters

Swallow me whole, clouds!

For only you understand my being

Only you give me strength

I stayed in the dirt awhile

Hoping the grass would sing me to sleep

But it only covered me up

And trapped me on the ground

Break me free, oh vines...

For nothing is real till I’m still

And what is silence if one is alone?

Adjusting my posture, judgement roars from the outside

Who am I to apologize?

Something sinks within me, I must not be empty

Oh earth, explain your cruelty!

For you consider my hunger but not my heart,

Oh how forced it feels to be apart

Longing for freedom but pain finds an undertow

Its greedy currents that take and not ...
