Sunflower

Tall, strong and sturdy, even in the strongest winds , yet they are delicate because of the blossoms that bloom on the tall giant. This tall giant is a mystery, so strong yet so weak , like a spiders web, with the very thin layers of thread tying the web together, it can hold against pounds of liquid pouring on it but not the swipe of a persons hand, lightly touching it. There are so many mysteries like this in nature. I wonder if we will ever understand the greatness and the very fragileness of nature itself. I hope one day to find out at least the reason why the giant sunflower can stand so high in the air and not fall because the only thing holding it up is a one and a half inch around stem. I hope some day It be shown but for now it will be a mystery.

The Unknown

Small, medium, or large the unknown is the most scary thing we can imagine. When the imagination takes hold of the unknown fear starts to drives us instead of common sense. When fear is controlling us we have no way out until we realize the true meaning behind our the unknown idea and/or object. When this happens we will most likely feel a sense of freedom because we will no longer be drowning in our fears. I wish this for all that read these blog to find that freedom in their lives.

Lord, Lead Me to Your Love Again ( written in Spring 2005)

I've lost my love
My soul forever seeks
I have traded myself
for a mask in black
A mask that hides myself
A mask I've used
To lose him again

Lord, lead me to your love again
I have left my soul behind in the shadows
Growing darker everyday
My soul is lost
And I need to find it again
I've lost my heart
Into the darkness of the night
Where it cannot be found

Lord, lead me to love again
Come down and shine on me
Fill my soul with your glory
Show me your love for eternity
Tell me it will never end
Tell me my life begins in you

Lord, lead me to your love again
Come down and shine on me
Fill my soul with your glory
So keep me safe and warm
Out of the dark
Until I am in your arms for forever more
Lord, lead me to your Love again
Lord, lead me to your love again

Love

Love is pure but dangerous
If there is no one around to share it with
Keep it close but yet far away
Far way for your heart's sake.

If there is no one to share it with
Your soul will wilt from disuse
Far away for your heart's sake
Safe but not always what is needed.

Your soul will wilt from disuse
It will shrink until it is no more
Safe but not always what is needed
You need to bare yourself, as a sacrifice.

It will shrink until it is no more
You need to be brave and strong
You need to bare yourself
After this you will be strong
And hold it forever in your arms.

Find that pure love in yourself
Kept if it safe
And hold it in your arms
Love is pure and dangerous.

Hope for Many

Though sadness is a common feeling in this world, it is not the largest in quantity. Hope is the key to survival. We must all find our way to this hope and look on the sadness and despair. Though it is a hard road to travel many will walk upon it. I hope to someday rise to the challenge when my heart is called to finally heal a wound that has grown deeper by the years. In the past weeks, seeing devastation at every turn reminded me of things I have hidden for so many years and I pray that I have the hope and strength to get through it.

Sanctuary

It's were you go when you want to hide from the world.
It's where you to cry or scream. But a lot of us have not found this place.
As we wander and hope for it to be around the corner,
I pray everyday to find that peace and that hope for all mankind
because it is the only way we survive in this dark cold world.
So if you you feel down try to smile and bear it
because one day we will have peace, at least this is my hope,
so please share in this hope and maybe we can find this place together.
