For His Child 1Hush my dear
You have no need to fear.
Jesus is here to erase all the pain,
He has taken the blame.

He'll love you forever,
No matter where you stray,
He'll always bring you home,
He keeps his children safe.

His vision, Her brushHe took her by the wrist and gently placed a brush in her hand.
She dipped it in a bottle of pastels,
And under His watchful eye
She drew a sky with all the colors before her.
A shade of blue glowed on the page,
And in the distance birds cawed.

Once He nodded in approval
Her brush painted a scene of love and silent tears.
Houses appeared on the page,
Each with more meaning then the next.
Gradually the scene changed,
As things do with age.

Her brush faltered,
Painting a scene in all blacks and blues.
She shaded her face until only the tears showed.
The painter stubbornly looked down,
Ignoring the face of beauty looking down a

Striking BeautyLord, you constantly amaze me,
Though I should expect this wonder from you.
Lord, you constantly inspire me,
Suddenly I'm striving to be the best I can be.
Lord, you constantly bring tears to my eyes
As I see your beauty and fall witness to your miracles.
Lord, you constantly have me,
Each day I love you more.

Lord, I'm amazed by you.

Lord, I'm saved by you.

Lord, all I need is you.

Questions Left UnansweredDo you see yourself?
You're always talking about others?
Do you see yourself?
And all the ways that you've been acting like them?
What happened to you?

Do you see me here?
Calling out your name?
Do you see me here?
Weeping violent tears for you?
I love you so.

Do you see this path?
This path that you've been following?
Do you see this path?
The path that leads to nothing but regret?
I pity all the sorrows that are to come.
What happened to you?

Do you hear their words?
Their words that try to help?
Do you hear their words?
Those soothing words to fight back the evil?
They're calling out to you!

Do you feel their hands?

Just remember my dearSleep my dear,
Close your eyes.
Let your dreams take you away,
Let a smile tug on your face.
Break away from this earth,
Find comfort in my words.

Just remember
This world is not yours.
You'll be home someday,
You'll be in my arms.
This world is not yours.

Look, dear
At the present I've presented to you.
I've painted you a picture in the sky,
I've plainly displayed hope in the form of oranges and reds,
Yellows and purples.

I understand, dear
All your suffering,
For I suffer too.
Every time I hear you cry,
I see your tears,
I'm cry too in my heart.
It's a shame how cruel the world is to my beloved.
These foul names crash

Save MeThis time won't you save me?

I can feel myself giving up,
Letting go,
Blacking out.
All this calling out,
This time won't you hear me?

This time won't you save me?

I feel the storm is coming,
I feel myself drowning in a sorrow I can't explain,
I'm dreaming in the pouring rain.
This time won't you wake me?

This time won't you save me?

This sword I wield,
For a reason I yet know.
I can't do this alone.
This time won't you save me?

AmorLove
The word resonates in your mind,
A pulsing,
Powerful sensation
Driving you forward,
Paralyzing reason.

Love
It thunders through lives,
Demanding to be known,
Making its self shown.
Changing and shaping
The earth to its will.
Influencing our lives,
Bending out bones
Breaking the barriers that surrender to its weight.

Love
Gentle and delicate
Pure and withstanding.
Filled with outstanding,
Astonishing beauty.
It's bells ringing,
Waves lashing.
The earth unfolding,
Beyond taming.
It's silently riding the currents of the wind,
It's violently cursing through unseen veins.

It's love,
It's freedom,
It's fear,
It

AloneAlone…
I prefer to be alone.
It's never bothered me.

It's my sanctuary
Where I go insane…

Alone…
I can't be alone.
My mind drifts to dangerous things…

I can't be trusted
To not ponder all the ways a person could die,
Could die alone…

Alone…
If you care anything for my life,
Keep me in the public eye.

In a crown made of silver...Silver has always been my favorite color.  I remember when I was a little girl and I first saw the moon.
"Anne?" I had asked, tugging on my sister's sleeve.
"Yeah, Dawn?"
"What is that ball of silver in the sky?" I pointed to the glowing orb above the house.  I felt small and childish asking the question, but Anne's gentle smile reassured me.
"That's the moon."
"What is it for?"  I asked, suddenly afraid.  It looked metallic and cold, like the tools littering hospital counter tops which I had seen in excess the past week.
Anne took my hand and adopted a motherly voice for the

My Humble PrayerScarlet waves break and swell,
A scene I know all too well.
Dark thoughts swallow me whole,
There's nothing tangible for me to hold.

In hope I'm lacking,
In faith I'm slacking.
I humble myself to ask for forgiveness,
I apologize for my acts of selfishness.

I open up my heart to you,
I free my soul to let you through.
Lord I need your wisdom!
Lord I shout out for your healing!

I turn to you in my moment of strife,
I beg for you to save my life.
I'm scared to death
Of this forlorn path.

I dream of a place that feels like home,
I'm dying in these vast unknowns.
I'm scared and tattered,
Bruised and battered.

I open up my hear

When I walked the moonI walked the moon and wished for you
If I had paper I would have wrote of all the fun I had
And how wonderous laughter sounds in space
As it echos off nothing and everything.
I charmed Earth and made her smile
I hope you felt it from down below.
I twirled with Mercury
And laughed merily with Venus as Mercury triped,
Spiralling like spiders on thread
As my dear friend Gravity caught her.

I walked the moon and dreamt of you
Though sleep never did come.
I played catch with the sun
And chess with Jupiter (shh I cheated).
I shared a milkshake with Mars
And danced in the stars
While Pluto played a joyus tune on his flute
And we s

Little NothingsI was the prettiest girl you knew,
you had said,
your eyes on me through the rearview mirror.
Glasses that belonged in the '70s rested atop your black,
hairspray encrusted hair
and two hoop earrings dangled from each ear.
I remember that it had rained that day.
The umbrella still sat open in the passenger seat
where I belonged,
dripping crystal droplets onto the fake leather seat.

My hair still smelled of compressed air
and sugary plastic;
battle scars from our earlier fight.
The ride took four hours across the prairie.
One in silence,
Two filled with big band tunes,
toe tappin,
finger snappin, and
dashboard drummin,
And a

Through YouI screamed Your name in naïve vain,
I never thought You'd walk my way.
Now I know where I went wrong.
I was asking for what was already there.
My eyes are open,
I no longer fear.
You've taken my hand and showed me the way.
I found hope in You, and your son,
Lord, Jesus Christ

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
For You are with me.
Through You I will face myself.
Through You I will smile again and be free.
Through You,
I will believe.

The Fount of PeaceI fell fast asleep one night,
With cold tears in my eyes.
I had wept upon my bed,
With bitter thoughts inside my head.

It was o're a small, small thing,
Compared with what was to come.
I was in a small, small world,
Considering where it was from...

I was either sleeping, or awake;
A vision, or a dream.
With eyes open or eyes closed,
I saw my Savior. And his clothes
Shown with a great, great light
That swallowed up the dark.

Then somehow, somewhere,
And in some amount of time,
I found peace;
A sweet, sweet peace
That only comes from inside...

I turned to thank my Savior,
Who had given me this peace,
But I was in my room ag

Yellow SkiesIt's shining bright outside,
In your life,
In your beautiful world.
How that's possible I have yet to understand.
Allow me, please, to steal some of your sunshine.

It's shining bright outside,
But alas I'm blind
And these rays of gold miss my eyes.
I wish just to see,
Be free of this darkness that enfolds me like a cloak.

This light you talk about,
That I dream about,
Is far from my reach.
I fear I'm doomed to never shake this feeling,
This feeling of nothing.
Each emotion slips through my fingertips
Like the sunshine that dances away from me.

It's shining bright outside,
And now all I can do is wish,
And hope,
And pra

Did you hear that bump in the nightDon't pretend that you do not fear
The eerie cackling which you hear.

And so the anthem begins"You scared them, alright," she sighed.

Pull out the drills, the kids are coming.Smiling with glee, the dentist marked another day off his calendar; Halloween had arrived.

A not so pleasant tea party.Every day is another pity party that I don't remember RSVPing to.

This HalloweenShe hangs jars from the porch,
glasses filled with honey
and dreams, which
clang against each other,
creating a mournful melody to ring
all through the night.

She made cookies for the occasion,
deep-fried crisps that
left a bitter taste on your tongue.
She fed most of them to the cats,
Alfred and Mussels,
two deformed lumps of fur that
glow green with radiation.

Unkempt willows hang over dirty windows,
creating bar-like shadows which
she peeks through
as she stands guard
all Hallows Eve –
her domain one of neglected plants,
cheep holiday decorations,
and ancient curses hurled at her door.

She lies in wait,
her eyes trained on a f

My MistressThe sun is her mentor,
that orange ball of gas that
dances across the pale blue sky,
pulled along by an invisible string -
the same string that throws me to my knees
before her feet.

I find it in her eyes,
the fire that burns in the sky,
and also in her soul;
a passion born from coals
and lathered in desire -
my mistress of fire.

It is in this game that she reigns supreme,
the woman of fire
who passionately controls each breath I take.
The Devils prized orator,
it is the eloquence of her speech
that keeps me playing with fire,
the burns beautiful reminders of
her incredible power.

And if I were to die,
I’d die amongst flames,

For His Children 2

Christ lived and died for you and me.
His death brought on by our own hands,
But his blood is for us.
Erased are our sins,
Drowned in the love of our savior.
Jesus Christ I love you so,
Jesus Christ you have my heart.
Jesus Christ I am forever yours.
