To see God's face

I want nothing more than to go find a vacant, snow-covered field to stand in. There I would plant my feet on crystal covered ground, stare up at the majestic peaks and gape in awe at the powerful mountains. With sparse moonlight to fill the crisp air, I would breath in deep the prickly cold air and stare up at the heavens until I could see God's face in the eyes of the stars.

Feeling Lost & Confused

Somebody save me for I can't sleep

Tossing and turning

Praying my soul to keep

some very rough draft poetry

Someone come run away with me

In the shadows of life we'll be

Turning love into our grave

Living enough to never save

"Turn to Stone"

by Ingrid Michaelson

Let's take a better look

Beyond a story book

And learn our souls are all we own

Before we turn to stone

Let's go to sleep with clearer heads

And hearts too big to fit our beds

And maybe we won't feel so alone

Before we turn to stone

And if you wait for someone else's hand

You will surely fall down

If you wait for someone else's hand

You'll fall, you'll fall

I know that I am nothing new

My words might not seem to you

But brother how we must atone

Before we turn to stone

The 151st Rule

Overthinking will ruin you. Ruin the situation, turn things around, make you worry, and just make things worse than they really are.

Starlight faded into sunrise

and there arose that wholesome soul,

richly robed in naught but his truths

he 'crept in through the carvéd door.

There he wandered across the way

yonder and hence, staining the walls.

He pressed his touch with every beat

Escaped his breath on every vein

and there he did brandish his mark,

claiming the heart to call his own.

She awoke not sure of the morn

her halls encroached with ghostly wounds.

But there at the way her door did sway

the gate gaping open to the worms.

But no trace of the frightful night

did float upon her injured breast.

Left to wander about the scarred corners,

for light did press upon her cheek,

she pushed away the loathsome past,

and lit the gloom to find the lost.

Songs that I'm loving

Just this moment:
