until now

I thanked God for your patience
& prayed for some of my own
so when you found me I was waiting
full of love, while alone

& here it is,
mine to freely give

I have been writing for years of this love
that you & I now get to live in

I am enjoying this

I swear its simple

there they sat falling in silence

& not a trace of fear

two simple souls, at home when close

believing love is near

& now a boy once always on the go
would be still forever
with her rare beauty, framiliar smile
& kindred soul

Sweep me away in your love

where nothing else matters.

so many little things,
worthless things,
stealing my attention & affection.

to see how far i've come
& how much further i now want to go
just proves how much bigger his dreams are for me
than my dreams for myself.

It's been a while

I wish it rained more here
a rare request im sure
but the suns too dry & I
can feel the thirsty earth

Crumbling
beneath my naked feet
as I move across this empty street
I walk along in harmony
with Gods steady heart beat
promising to ease all thirst
& take good care of me

most busy cities can’t hear this
over their own self righteousness
but its so loud & clearly seen
to quiet, steady me
waiting for rain

good mourning.

my 3rd coffee this morning,
much less than thoughts of you
but i've heard before
enough of this
may help me to get through

if that holds truth,
pour me another
& i'll sit & drink til noon.

Luke 12:7

I pray for a day you will know
that you're worth more than many sparrows

because even they
would have flown away
by now.

just a witness.

you wrote my name as beautiful

to keep score of our first dates scrabble

i knew that night i'd love you

& miss that old coffee house table.
