Grey Mountains

These mountains I travel, bleak and motionless, yet strangely
familiar... I think as I reach the top I shall see my destination. But
as I climb, a hint of doubt creeps in. but that all washes away
because im suddenly at the top! I look around and instead of seeing
where I wish to be, I see an endless mass of these Grey Mountains.
I start to cry, but these Mountains won't let me. they seem to suck
the emotion out of me... I look about angrily, but there is nothing, I
am alone. So I continue on my journey, tree after tree, rock after rock.
But they aren't real. They are the hopeless, cheap knock-off,
versions of the real thing. How can this be, I think.
But that thought was cut short when I heard a twig break. I swirl
around nearly falling, I gather myself and look around. Nothing.
I start to get to nervous, I take off running. I duck behind a tree.
I thought I heard something, but I then realized what I was hearing
was the beating of my heart. "im being paranoid". So I
go on. I walk along the Mountains in utter loneliness. I look
about me, "which way?" it all looks the same... So
I follow the wind. I go north. All along the way I'm tormented...
After years of this I can no longer go on by myself. I drop
down on my knees, I scream aloud. I start crying out for help.

A Gentle Whisper

The trees, they whisper , the snow, it sings, the wind, it breathes.
As the branches sway the autumn leaves give way.
With every wisp and every leaf, He speaks to me, though
I may not understand. I soon will. But for now I simply listen and write,
and cherish these things that are said.
I walk and I walk, listening, listening, every time I become overwhelmed
by His presence. I walk so that I may hear. I talk and I listen.
I move with the trees, I dance with the wind. And as my fingers freeze
and my ears numb, I'm bleary-eyed and its time to go home.
I say good bye to the trees and the leaves,
and I turn around and face the way home, I wipe my eyes, smile,
and look forward to the journey ahead.

this love so deep

I will ask you to look in my eyes
and see what you can see,
to look into my soul and see what we can find
to look into my heart, and see if theres love,
and thank God in the heavens above,
for He has given me blessings beyond my knowing.
like the birds in the sky, I want to be close to you,
breathing the same air as you. nothing can compete
with you, your love is so deep I can only begin to understand.
my heart burns for you,
your presence is so intense, you aroma so thick,
my heart burns for you. pour out your love on me,
drench me in your peace, so that I may live again,
in perfect harmony.

My Desire

As the wind blows and the leaves change, I cant help but think where I would  be without Him.
as the sunflower grows and grows, always reaching towards the heavens,  i wonder, why can't I be like the sunflower?
strong and sturdy, yet beautiful and gracefull.
as the nights grow colder and the snow begins to fall, the sunflowers die.
I watch from my window as it shrivels and falls, but its not sad I feel, its joy instead,
for when winter passes and spring is here, the sunflowers grow as they did before,
and as they will for many years more.
