Emotions
There was a relief
In feeling the storm's approach.
Knowing with certainty
What was to come.
No more guessing.
Just waiting for the downpour;
The uproar of thunderous cries.
An eruptive volcano of emotion
Fighting its way to the surface.
Fiery tears burning my cheeks;
Liberating my soul.
Anguish radiating from my pores
As I purge;
Setting myself free.
In feeling the storm's approach.
Knowing with certainty
What was to come.
No more guessing.
Just waiting for the downpour;
The uproar of thunderous cries.
An eruptive volcano of emotion
Fighting its way to the surface.
Fiery tears burning my cheeks;
Liberating my soul.
Anguish radiating from my pores
As I purge;
Setting myself free.

Listen
Listening with my heart,
Not my ears;
Can ease a world of fears.
Dry a river of tears.
The most effortless remedy
Money can't buy.
You ever wonder why
It's not working?
Just listen.
Not my ears;
Can ease a world of fears.
Dry a river of tears.
The most effortless remedy
Money can't buy.
You ever wonder why
It's not working?
Just listen.

like a kiss.
So sweet.

Breathes life.
Love is

With God
My God's
Always with me.
Divinely connected.
My soul has been resurrected.
I'm free.
Always with me.
Divinely connected.
My soul has been resurrected.
I'm free.

Peace Be Still
A storm is brewing within me.
Darkness so impenetrable;
I can't see.
A tsunami of tears
Battering against my chest;
Engulfing my heart in pain.
I call to the Lord for rescue
Again and again.
Thunderous voices echo loudly;
Smoldering my pleas.
I fall to my knees.
The harsh winds
Rocking me to and fro.
I don't know
How I got here.
I pray my cries
The Lord will hear.
In the midst
Of the deafening whirlwind;
A radiant light
Begins to transcend
Through the...

No Words Needed
I could lay like this forever.
Savoring the warmth of your embrace.
Our fingers interlaced.
Speaking beautiful words
Only our eyes can say.
I could lay like this forever.
A divine moment in time.
Our souls intertwined.
Hearts dancing to a sound
That’s only yours and mine.
I could lay like this forever.
Savoring the warmth of your embrace.
Our fingers interlaced.
Speaking beautiful words
Only our eyes can say.
I could lay like this forever.
A divine moment in time.
Our souls intertwined.
Hearts dancing to a sound
That’s only yours and mine.
I could lay like this forever.

Through It All
How do you act
When the storms of life
Threaten your existence;
Sending you to your knees
With soulful repentance?
Wretched cries
Echoing through the night;
Making you question
Does joy really come
With the light?
How do you act
When you’re on top
Of the world;
High above your valley;
Blessings unfurled?
Success abundant
With no end in sight.
Trusting the Lord
With all of your might.
It doesn’t matter
What your circumstance is.
God’s always faithful.

When the Walls Come Down
It used to be much easier
To forgive than to forget.
Even when the walls
Came tumbling down around us;
I’d still pick up the pieces;
Praying my tears would fuse them
Back together,
But now there are too many cracks.
We are broken.
Our love reduced to a pile of rubble.
Where are you?
I need you to help me
But you’re gone….again.
Hope crushed one too many times.
Don’t come back.
I won’t forgive you.
To forgive than to forget.
Even when the walls
Came tumbling down around us;
I’d still pick up the pieces;
Praying my tears would fuse them
Back together,
But now there are too many cracks.
We are broken.
Our love reduced to a pile of rubble.
Where are you?
I need you to help me
But you’re gone….again.
Hope crushed one too many times.
Don’t come back.
I won’t forgive you.

What Does God Think?
Feeling doubtful,
Spiteful,
Worried and sad.
Ugly ,
Discouraged,
Fearful and mad.
My cup is half empty.
It’s going to rain.
My world is so dark,
With bitterness and pain.
Everyone hates me.
I’m feeling no love.
No family.
No friends.
No help from above.
I feel like I’m drowning.
My boat’s starting to sink.
It hurts to be alive.
But what does God think?
The word says I’m fearfully
And wonderfully made.
I’m more than a conqueror.
I have been saved.

Looking Beyond
Peering out the window of my soul
All I see are bags.
Bags left behind from the past.
Bags of insecurity.
Bags of sadness.
Bags on top of bags.
It’s starting to stink up my reality.
I’m starting not to see
The horizon in the distance.
The Son is shining brightly,
But the bags are providing shade.
Blocking the beauty the Lord has made.
I’ve become a collector of trash.
Hoarding it in my heart.
It’s against God’s will.
He tried to clear it all away,
But I wouldn’t let Him.
How do I expect to heal
If...

The Truth
I’m not the woman
I thought I was.
A good mother.
Wife.
I’m the nucleus
Of strife.
The eye of the storm.
When things go wrong
I can’t shield you from harm.
I leave destruction in my path.
Then flood you with tears
In the aftermath.
Oh, child
Please forgive me
For putting those
Rosy blinders over your eyes.
Making you think I was wise.
Making you feel secure.
Making you think that
Wonder Woman really exists.
That I’m so pure.
It’s not reality.
It’s all a dream.
I’m...
I thought I was.
A good mother.
Wife.
I’m the nucleus
Of strife.

Choices
I don’t know what I’m doing
When it comes to you.
Do I hold back?
Do I go all in?
Engage with sin?
It’s a constant battle within,
That I might not win.
My feelings growing
Stronger for you
With every breath I take.
Will God be happy with
The choice I make?
Only time will tell.
When it comes to you.
Do I hold back?

It’s a constant battle within,
That I might not win.

Will God be happy with
