sadness engulfs me
at the loss of my father

dawn follows the night

A lazy grey cat
lies in the cool green clover

Springtime contentment

As the swirling winds of autumn
Play among the colorful fallen leaves
Children’s laughter can be heard
Over the swishing of a rake

The white flag of surrender has been raised for the 
strength of my defense's has been shattered
I know that there shall be no mercy shown here 
this day . . . only that which is deserved

Just as the cool autumn winds
whisks away the heat of summer
The strength and depth of your love
clears away my clouds of despair
and lifts from the dust of death
a desire both lost and forgotten

As the sands of time 
pass through my hands
I realize it waits for 
no person nor their plans
We pass through this life
in the blink of an eye
and at times it seem that 
we are only born to die

Will you wrap me in your arms 
and hold me oh so tight
Will you take away my hurt 
and fight to make things right
Will you be a steadfast anchor 
that holds me lest I flee
or will you also turn away 
and simply set me free...

The winds of loneliness 
blows through my soul... 
  Like the winter winds 
blowing across a frozen 
desolate landscape...
  Making all that lives there
hide deep underground...
  Until warmth and life
returns once more...

All I say and all I do
looses nothing but
chaos upon my life

So I go to seek out
a place of solitude

A hideaway from all
of my pain and suffering

A place where maybe the
brokenness will mend

And dreams will come
and live again

I'm trying not
to go insane
wrapped up in 
my bubble of pain

Dark are the days
and bitter the fight
as chaos reigns 
in my world tonight

The voices shout
and the demons cheer
as I slowly lose
all that I hold so dear

The angels tears
they fall like rain
as I lay defeated in
my bubble of pain

The essence of you swirls and 
flows around me like a wild thing 
that moves just outside the light 
that is the burning flames of love
~          ~          ~          ~          ~
Sometimes coming so close that 
the flames dance with wild desire
and other times moving away and 
leaving them as cooling embers
waiting to once more be fanned
into heartwarming flames of love
~          ~          ~          ~          ~

The early autumn breeze carries with it the first hints of coolness of the coming winter 

The green of the summer seems to change overnight to fiery reds, oranges and yellows as the beauty of the Father's creation inspires artists of all ages to set about making their own creations 

The leaves begin falling from their lofty heights and gently flutter to the ground as the smell of baked goods, spicey gumbo and pumpkin spiced lattes fill the air with their  goodness

I stare at this lonely blank page of white
Never knowing exactly just what to write

Do I pen something happy or something quite sad
Show forth some laughter or show that I'm mad

Maybe show them the Creator and all that He gives
Or show them the darkness where my soul really lives

Something rude or crude or passions searing heat
Or the dirty dark secrets of life on the street

No matter what I write no matter what I say
I will keep going on just to write another day
