find my words, and know that they're Yours


i'll cover my eyes
until i see that i'm ok
because i am

a strange new dwelling
i could only stare intently
into a thick layer of cloud cover

sleeping took learning

Your active ears
make for a calm heart
somehow peace, well-being, is here

continue to find me,
even if i may absent-mindedly walk away

a new lamp is a warm friend


inside felt cold, however the yellow light that has newly been incorporated into the living space was quick to warm me up, at least partially.

sometimes it is easy to feel left behind. (no, i don't mean this in the sense of the best seller "Christian" fictional series.[which unfortunately i read entirely as a middle schooler]) i need You to give security, even to be it for me.

i just needed some space, but that same space that i desired left me feeling awkward. sometimes it feels as though circumstances don't fit, but instead cling to you like an ill-fitting cardigan.

my ears feel empty. but i'm patient, really i am.

embarking upon the high seas


dried out and wrinkled
maybe the times when we are worn
are the times when You can most function.


a new weather system is rolling in
currents are changing
a gale is a brewing
ropes
hold me fast to what is solid.



Your wind-chapped hands
know exactly where to guide
this ship
and set it's sails.

committed you are to your purposes

circumstances are
wobbly
help me to revert back to
stability
that is found
when you speak

i purposed
from the beginning
to follow through
You have shown me Your
faithfulness
thus far
further?

show me what is real
then I will know
think
ponder on
the ultimate certainty
I know You to
be

my insides waste away
multiplied
decentralized burdens.
may you lead me away from
that which is fake
put on
self-fabricated

teach me obedience
holding hands
with grace

i knew i could only walk
this way
with You at my side
i believe in
noises that come
from Your mouth

i cling
to what You have already
worked out

don't turn
Your face from me now
i'll certainly
crumble

my feet will continue
to exert their energies
only because
You will increase
the capacity of
ventricles
atriums
capillaries
