We are together
At times we are apart
I know I worried a lot
I want to be brave starting with you
You make my world stand still
Something about you always will
Half of me is filled with bursting words
Half of me confided in uncertainty
I hold fast to what is good
A steadfast answer
I will always be yours.

Again, your gravity pulls me in
Full force and gaining momentum
Tell me candidly
Am I in your head
Half as often as you're on my mind
Knowing you is safe and sound
A steady place to let my defenses down
Now I'm right where I want to be
Back to a much brighter place
Where everything feels better and right
I'm trying a million different ways to show you
That all I ever want is to know you
To really know you
I think it's clear to see
You belong to me
What we have is pure and true
And I belong to you.

You struggled in secret
I unknowingly made the small talk
Problems arose without knowledge
I was naïve and bashful to a fault.
I spoke my heart out to you
You were somber and feeling blue
Like a rainy day in September
You make me feel brand new.
A calling for greater days
Overcoming the evident pain of yesterday
I’ll carry you forever, plus a day
A boundless love without haze.

Morning sunshine caught in the air
You breathe joy in all circumstances
Agile and good to the core
Unfiltered thoughts adhere to our winds.
Faint delights in simple moments
Striking zones of laughter all around
Beginning with minimizing frowns
You see this world differently in sound.
Come closer to me
Give the best in everything you see
You shine with brilliance
My eyes fixed on you with ease.

To chance
Meeting a pure and simple heart
Vibrant with impressive feats
You’re a becoming spirit, grounded and strong.
To encounter
A glowing warmth that never grows dim
Shimmering with thoughtful acts
You’re a steady intention, constant and true.
I utter
Honest words in the rushing wind
Over and over, at one time
For a time.
Here now
You feel like a place I’ve never seen
Full to the brim
Captivated by your potential with me.

I reach
For extra moments with you
Unspoken and synced
Laughter spun round’ in tune.
Sightseeing the wonders
Near and across shores unknown
With restless feet
Our hearts flutter to explore.
The sun was basking in Peru
Shining with all its might in London too
Our united spirits, vocal and bright
An anthem for hope on the coldest of nights.
Your presence in sight, a solution nears
You rewire the coordinates of reason and fears
Wherever I am, there’s always you
Focus grows, and doubt disappears.

Taken in
By each day
Each hour
We go about our time
I wish I could walk for a day and night
Every time I see you
I meet myself a little more.
I wander free as a cloud
Memories of us
To replay without force.
Taken back
By the strides in your step
To carry the remaining pieces with me
But I have promises to keep
And miles to go before I sleep
My soul can reach
When feeling out of sight
Finishing a season of
Thorns and pain
You glow and exude
The purest delight.

There is still so much unrest in me
A mix of ambitions and incanted dreams
A million little thoughts scattered
An improved and refined version for me to be
Still.
My eyes momentarily close
My memories crisp as that sunshine-filled day
A body in motion, with an unsure heart
Appreciating a moment for what it really is
Still.
A feeling of safety, exhilaration and frustration
Captivated by a whirlwind charming presence
Followed by a moment of sureness, adept in lessons
Still.
Ascending into open roaring waters
Full-fledged with grit and strength
An intentional purpose to press onwards
Regardless of setbacks, disappointments or gains
Still.

It's special the moment you start to dream
How the things that you say
Just might matter to someone
The shadow on the other side
Memories which keep you up at night
All the moments shared in-between
The manic highs of seeing and being seen.
For when you are broken
Hold tight to faith and anticipation
Hope in something constant
Even in pain and unanswered questions
There is strength to be found
And possibility will still abound
Reminding you of a meaningful life
Cascading you to the other side.
You were created to love
And deserve to be appreciated in return
In every breath, moment and season
You are completely worthy of unconditional love.
A N E A R N E S T P R A Y E R
In the beginning
My mind was a void
And darkness was upon me
Fighting insecurities and turmoil.
Tangled in the thought of eternity
A sure hope constructed with certainty
Purpose has been discovered
I now follow a new beacon.
It's the light of consciousness
The gift of universal love
Giving me strength to finish the race
I pray for God's grace and insight.
Therefore, I rejoice, I cry, I endure
Finishing the race marked before me
My course unknown but straight and sure
As God's grace descends, and I begin to be.
