Absence

Your absence is silence
that screams to be heard
like re-reading a sentence
but not grasping one word.

The blandness of white
needing a splash of blue or green
like observing a masterpiece
and it remaining unseen.

Missing...

When all seemed lost at Calvary,
And Christ lay dying on that tree,
The earth trembled, and the veil was shred,
As the Son of God then bowed his head.

As there upon the cross he died,
God’s wrath for sin was satisfied.
A day of darkness,...

stare at her
as if i have seen
an angel
entranced by a smile
that could erase
an entire world
of all its sorrows
she has the most
beautiful eyes
and in them
i see my life
and the whole purpose
for my existence
i see children
not...

Be Still ....with the moon and stars in sight,

as you stare above in the serene quiet of the night,

 as God speaks to you. Heals you. Calms you.

Feel the pulse of the universe running through your veins baring your soul ungloved,

...

In deepest memory
my mind escapes
to places yet journeyed
undreamed they await

In deepest memory
the future untold
awaiting unbeckoned
—the next bell to toll

Just because you can see me,

  doesn't mean I'm not hiding
And just because I'm not screaming,

  doesn't mean I'm not crying
Just because I'm not bleeding,

  doesn't mean I'm not hurting
And just because I'm still breathing,

  doesn't mean...

One day when I was barely 3
I felt an urge to explore
The world was so brand new
So I strolled right out the door

My family were all asleep
No one knew I was gone
I was carefree and curious
I could do nothing...
