my soul is ablazed with yearning for you.

in another land-

-you are hurting

i can feel you.

the deep burning passion in me-

makes sense.

you are beautiful.

you are child.

His joy will capture you.

my prayer is kept sacred.

we shall meet.

variety [an old collection].

new song

teach me a new song.
the depths so astray.

my soul set free--
--tis the dawn of a new day--

fiery beams::they scare me no.

for i am learning a new song
--that song is hope.


call me

i am called to love.
to love the man on the streets.
--rags and all

to love the one who makes me want--
--to scream.

i am called to share my heart.
to let myself be captivated--
--by You.

nature

nature::i am meshed within.
it ignites my soul;
sets it free.

an effortless breeze--i am released.
my vulnerabilities go uncultivated.

meadows of the forest
i am one with the birds--
--as they fly--

i hear an illustrious song.
how vividly enchanting is this meeting.


clean

cry.
make a rivulet of tears.
::finally::
--in time--
your past will be
washed away.


change

goodbye.
the doors--they are different.
the streets--they are smaller.
my house--it no longer stands.
goodbye.


new season

the cold trickles over me.
the foggy air arises--
an overcast seizes forth
tis the season--breaks through

put on thee coat.


awaken

awaken me.
remove my veils.
see me as i am.

i am flithy!

--still--
i. am. loved.

we are lovely.

You are love.
the pink sky--
--this is evidence.

my being;
i am filthy--
i am made beautiful in You.

this somber soul is made new.
the orphans tears become laughter.
the hands reach to the heavens--
--awaiting the day.

our darkest shame::shattered.
You whisper to us--we are lovely.
