my bed


at my
fingertips.


the warmth 
of this 
home 
brings
forth comfort.


under the
overpass


you lay.


the frigidness
of this 
night
brings
forth distress.


this home
is not
ours.


this home
is not
your
final stop.


rejoice.
sit here
and
look up.


delight
in Him.


freed by
His 
::sweet sweet::


love.


your head in
your undeserving
hands.


overwhelmed
by such a
::sweet sweet::


grace.


this
is 


love.


look up::


be thankful;
be free.

I am
spinning


::slow motion::


in this
time lapse
of
life.


Freed 
from
myself;


Bound 
by
YOUR
love.

oh, how this day
is made new!


these pages
are blank-


this book
is bland!


my new story
is in Your
hands


my history::
erased


my story::
retold


by the only
author


who can write
this life-


with grace.

ruin me.
make this 
heart 
soft.


your 
whispers 
are 
void.


who have
i become?


i am blinded
by my flesh.


release me 
from this
barricade::


release me 
from 
myself.


cut from
me these
strings - 


these strings
attached to 
idols.


cut me 
and i will
fall - 


f
a
l
l


into your
angelic
arms.

fragile gates.

i let 
myself
let you 
in.

i let
go of
this gate
around
my heart.

take care
of this 
fragile
soul.

show me
the

love

you want
me to see.

show me
the

love

you want
me to be.

vanity.

you bring forth
desire
to be.


to be 
something
that is not
me.


to be 
a mirror
image of
society.


this mirror
is broken.


this image
is lost.


can myself
be found
in the
midst of
it all?

happy easter.

You 
are awe.


me.
i am in awe.
at Your feet
i lay.


in awe of 
this 
day.


my sweet 
savior.

homeless we are.

this eager heart yearns
to know the soul
under your smile.


i don't quite know--
where i should start
to share the sweet truth.


a life unlike mine--
a life just the same.
i want to know you--
i want to know
your name.


when i pass you on
the lonely streets--
i pray i stop.
i pray we meet.

Home.

delight 
in the 
darkness.


light-
it will
come.


He 
is
faithful.


He is.


walk into
the sunrise
with me.


time to 
go home.


His.

backspace.

this keyboard-
it is a lie.


i type a wrong
word-
backspace.


this life-
it is reality.


i mess up-
backspace
does not
exist.


i am not hidden
behind 
spellcheck.


my veil is stripped.
this life is 
now.


these mistakes-
have no
editing.


kfjdkjsjfdslfj-
backspace.

listen::Him

a voice so loud
nobody could hear.
she wailed.
she shrieked.
but all she
did was
disappear.


she yearned
for them to
see her.
to love 
her.


invisible
was she.
the girl who
only wanted
to be--
everything 
to
everybody.


solitude 
found her.
solitude 
silenced her.


in this dark::desolate::
place--she found
a voice.


a voice
that was
not her 
own.


His.
