Theses Eyes of Mine

These eyes of mine...
Once veiled by the fog
Deceived by the cloak of fear
Seduced by the presence of chaos
Intimidated by the brutality of defeat
Now open to visions of clarity
The presence of possibility now in view
All things laid ahead of you 
Appealing to the hope etched so perfectly in your vision
Open wide, my eyes...
See the veil of torment and alarm being lifted
Open wide, my beautiful eyes...
Witness the defense of your Savior as He pleads to our Father
Watch in awe, my great eyes
As the Father prepares a new vision and offers it to you as a gift
These eyes of mine...
See that you are beautiful
See that your sight has been restored.

It carries me even when I don't feel it, especially on those days where I question him, and I don’t understand his plan. There will always be an emptiness in my heart, and I will never seek to fill it. That space is reserved just for Daddy. 

We Do Know...

So many times when someone dies (particularly expectantly) you here someone say, "You never know" or "You just never know"... but the truth is we do! We do know that tomorrow is not promised, that life can change in a blink of an eye. We know that the last time you see someone may be the last time. We know life is short. We know people can leave us at any moment. We do know...we just forget...

Poetic Cadency

I’m free to fly with words… With thoughts Perceptions Feelings Free to explore… Fantasies Failures The unknown Free to discover… What drives me What guides me Free to become… Whom ever And what ever My creative and imaginative objectivity Can conjure up I’m free to soar above the Mediocrity of the same And mirror the true Sentiment of the inside of me Unbalanced Unstable But natural Yet so humane A complex simplicity In the rarest form
