Open hearts beating cautiously
Pounding anxiously
Loving deeply
Cuts reopened
As pain’s revealed
Reassurance bolsters hope
Recommitted
Refocused
Living again
I like you
I love you
I need you

A Night of Deepened Trust
I’ve come here to bear, to listen and to share
My life is not my own, but my brother’s alone
To God I give trust and to all I also must
Life’s so short…grant that I may walk in thy paths Lord
K. Arthur on S. Pete…I love you man!
becoming through dreaming
I stood victorious today
Over a long held dream
I finished a goal
I have harbored inside
The race has come and gone
And others now await
To run or not to run?
What a pointless question
More to come on this ultimate coolness…Look back tomorrow.
He Binds Me
cold and lonely I shiver
questioning what I have become
but through the darkness, persistently
reaches a Pure and Holy One
He calls me in my darkness
and too, He calls in dreams
He seeks my soul to bind to his
and for me he intervenes
through my friends he binds me his
and through my sin he cares
through little things he speaks to me
though oft I’m unawares
When love, that mighty weapon
cuts through the thick black night
a see the times my faith was lit
Again I feel it burning bright
He binds me his with a quiet peace
when I in holy places choose to stand
though too, through my night he comes
When I have let go his loving hand
to be sure, I feel his grace
His hand still reaches for me to find
and though sadly I oft forget
He passes through darkness for me to bind

Evil behind smiling eyes…
Evil so strong, so subtle, so convincing…
that legions of trusting follow
First a smile, then a touch,
Their embraces calm our fears
A favor sought doesn’t feel right,
but their words are candy sweet
Walking cautiously forward,
again, trusting, the deed is done
Betrayed by them they comfort,
they smile, they reassure
Disgusted by our own actions
We turn again to pain
And the very ones that cut us
we embrace because they know it
And through our pain they can find
a slave. Indeed they’ve found a few
Though misguided we walk with Evil
a true passion remains within
It’s to that spirit we must listen
Only then will Evil retreat

One must know what one is getting
into before one agrees to things
Swing Heil!
