Falling to Grace
Born to imagine the world their way
I can be anything, do anything, they’d say
Nudging me closer to the edge
Im ready to fly, wings forced to spread
No place to step, nor handle to hold
Only time and space as life unfolds
Distant noises and flashes of light
Oh time it flies from morning to night
Falling to grace instead of to fear
Pursuing your calling and not my career
Safe and sound was never meant to be home
White picket fence but created to roam
A heart that hurts for a thousand cries
A mind thats renewed from all the lies
Blood and bones were lost to be gained
All for a cause that can never be tamed
Gentle, hopeful, filled with peace
Amidst a storm that will never cease
For I am with you is all I hear
Falling faster + faster as eternity draws near
I Seek
burdened by the spirit
my soul longs to be free
my decisions mine no longer
yours for eternity
my steps you do trace
and thoughts always grip
my gut tosses and turns
all for righteousness
greatful for these pains i am
perseverance will they show me
your making me yours and yours alone
seeking only to be holy
a world I taste and spew
causing illness beyond the grave
seek ye first i will
of the cross to which im slave.
Loves Quarrel
the heart of hate is empty
but life provides a cure
this void becomes a battle
for what the heart cannot endure
the language of love persists
and in it lies the proof
for with ever war a winner
love contains the truth
this heart is always full
even though the eye cant see
just take a closer look
deeper in this love we’ll be
Soon this love will grow
Uniting you and I as one
Heavy my heart will be of you
Until this life is done

Wristwatch
time begins to stop
it watches you instead
the hands become your shadow
to whom you were once led
the answer lies before you
to which would set you free
but the question still remains
inside of you and me
time remains a constant
encompassing your fate
it loves it breathes it lingers
its cause for being late
approaching death you’ll see
this watch begins to fail
on its passed to loved ones
beginning yet another tale
A Perfect Yesterday to a Tragic Today
my heart was lost waiting for you
every step i take, you’re further from view
every breath just seems useless at best
looking at the ceiling losing months of rest
told im a hero with nothing to show
but an empty heart and no room to grow
feelings so sure just forced to the side
a love id say lost, took away by the tide
so pure at the time, a dream had come true
the love of my life it could only be you
every moment awake together we were
whose smile i loved, it could only be hers
together forever or so i had thought
this angels heart had already been bought
this dream that once was ever so real
had torn me apart to never again feel
I wrote this in an immature state of mind. I wrote this ignoring Gods plan for my life. Often when something that seems so right fades away, we take the “woe is me” stance on life. I now trust Gods plan for my life. If you have experience a lost relationship you understand its painful. But bigger than that pain is the God who created us. He knows our thoughts. Truly believe he works all for good and you will move on motivated and encouraged.
Real
the world is cold
cold enough to burn you
the fire from your eyes enters mine
its easy to become trapped
poison is passed instead of truth
willingly its being consumed
distance become close
pain becomes real
chaos becomes silence
in this your answer is revealed
I wrote this after being rushed to the ER for alcohol poisoning. You think this poem is dark? Take a step out of your bubble and into the world. Dark is what you will find. I ignored the seriousness and truth of Gods word. I encourage you to not make the same mistake i did in the past. You have the choice to say no to alcohol. Read 1 Corin 10:13. There is always a way out. Don’t think that just one night of poor decisions wont affect your eternity, because it will.
