mE, mYself & i...

tHe oPportunity...

one day
too late
this vow
i make

first in thought
last to wonder
holding on
to none asunder

one child
two words
one world
of hers

in this place
of dreams on end
she searches for
"her neverland"

dElay...

once upon a fall fall day there was a slight delay...
not sure why not sure how...
but in the midst of it all there was a stop...
to stand still & to sit, to not know or care which way was next...
almost at a crossraods...
but more of a delay...

for the day will continue as all days do...
but this time with more of a mission...
full of passion & life...
but till that happens we will sit & wait...
under the silence of the falling leaves...
bringing change with each & every breath...

this is my delay...

...for tomorrow may bring snow

...fOr the want of talent & lAck of the time...

it is not

in the everyday

that you find

such a place...

one to haunt

your thoughts

& defend

your very being...

it is this place

of solitude

that will linger

long after

the paint

has faded

& the trees

are all gone...

lacking in nothing..

living in memories...

it was

times like this,

those days gone by...

this everyday place

that we calmly

just

walk

by..

...so i have been working on a rather large banner project....it goes something like this....with paint & other multi-faceted variations on it...

... & the WORD of God spoke through the darkness. Out of the depths of the shadows. Into the vast unknown. Bringing forth with every breath a shattering silence. The calm before the storm. The whisper in the wind... This voice so calm & still, booming forth on one unexpecting day...

...& God spoke & it was so, life, death, birth, growth, love, loss, laughter, hope, pain, tears, joy, singing, dancing, beauty, despair, peace, patience, sorrow, comfort, passion, goodness, kindness, gentleness, self-control, grace, mercy, justice, fairness, poverty, wealth, riches, rags, royalty, servants, slaves, kingdoms, kings, countries, land, pride, rain, sun, moon, wind, stars, feast, famine, want, plenty, companionship, loneliness, heartache, age, youth, simplicity, belonging, faith, choice, sight, darkness, sound, silence, music, dance, stillness, movement, rest, color, shadow, heat, chill, new, old, forever... promise...

... & the WORD came in the form of a flesh filed promise... Healing, touching, listening, believing, leading. Loving. Watching, wanting, hoping, caring, showing, knowing... More than we will ever know... For this was His word, his flesh, his promise... His life, his death..His love... Which brought forth on one unexpected day more than mere words could ever begin to tell...

sUmmeRtiMe...

2 the days gone by, the times we had
2 the thoughtless days & moonlit nights
2 the summertime fun, lost in the sun
4 the things we share, 4 those days without care...
I wish I might, I wish I may...
GO back again some lovely day...

"...We will not go quietly into the night
We will not give up without a fight..."

I refuse:
to be bought with a price, to listen & not hear...
to live & not learn, to love just a little...
to be apathetic in the face of adversity...
to take things for granted until they are gone...

I cannot:
stop the dance, leave the music, slow the ride...
or even jump off when it hits the bottom...

BUT

I can:
stand tall, sit up, speak out...
walk far, reach up, & hold on...

for if you refuse one thing & cannot do another...
you have hit two of three sections.....
& all you are now left with... is the choice to GO...

..."Second star on the right and straight on till morning"...

tHe wHo...

I am ever present & yet seldom found
Ever waiting never bound

I hide behind the stars & moon
The watery depths or desert doon

I can be found with knowledge known
The where to look need not be shown

I come unexpected & leave without a trace
Can be burst or broken & haunt a place

I have been called quite dark & gloomy
But slightly golden from others who knew me

I come before a storm & follow laughter
I will always remain forever after

I confuse & transfix, heal & calm
If you listen carefully you will see that's who I am...

aLl tHe diFferenCe...

This Road goes ever on & on
Out past the stars & moonlit song
The wind it sings a lullaby
& still the tears I cry...

This road once traveled
So long ago...
I try to think
But wonder why...

Does this small Road
That continues still?
This burden lighter?
Heavy load?

For what has made all the difference?

This Road I take...
I try to make

A sweeter song
Upon that hill
Where it shall go
I'll never know...

My job is not
To see the end
But walk this road
& trod that bend

Sight unseen
Blindness wanders
Loss for words
Speech it ponders

This Road goes ever on & on
So will I walk & sing this song

The tears that fall
Upon yonder hill
Be swept away
For another day

For the night is young
& this Road is long...

mY liTtle tOad...

Once upon a tUesday...
there sat a little toad.

Not just a toad, all big & green
sitting off the open road...

Oh No. You see this one was small,
as small as you or I.

He sat upon an old grey hat
from where I do not know.

He simply sat & leaned his head
from left to right & back.

Counting cars, & old dead trees,
cows & horses too..

But then he stopped his monotone
& looked upon my shoe.

Slightly curious, it would seem,
as to whom would walk this mile.

So I stopped & leaned my head
& we stared for quite a while...

Clouds were passing, cars went by
but still we held that glance.

He shifted weight,
& turned his head...

"Thanks for the chat.."
I softly said...
...& turned to walk away...

For here my friend, I now had seen
the simplicity of a day...

Not one to rush, or fall behind
to hustle round the bend.

But with all the ease of a little toad
will we see how to reach the end.

Do what we must with what we got
But don't forget Today...
