I am ablaze
I urge you to try
Become a thousand suns
Or the lone firefly
I shine through the broken
I create…..I destroy
I am The Light
I know my why
Musings of the half taken breath……
I am ablaze
I urge you to try
Become a thousand suns
Or the lone firefly
I shine through the broken
I create…..I destroy
I am The Light
I know my why
The galaxies whirl in silent glory
And in silence, shines the moon
The prayer lamps burn in silence
And in silence, flowers bloom
A God is carved into silent stone
And in silence, sparkles dew
And so it is decided then
You and I speak in silence too
I want to meet
The one that pours with a smile
To turn the drunken into dancers
I want to meet
The one that silence speaks to
To turn questions into answers
You don’t have to tell me why
The earth will never touch the sky
Why the waves rise and fall
With the moon’s lonely sigh
You don’t have to say a word
For the ocean to be stirred
For the longing to be seen
For the silence to be heard
Unlike a half open bud
that waits to come into glory
Unlike a half taken breath
that longs to tell a story
A half moon is silent,
Is silent in knowing.
It is always full.
Just shadows showing…
Don’t envy me
Says the sun to the night
I burn to be free
Like the bird in flight
–
Don’t envy me
Says the oak to the leaf
When you are gone
I will stand rooted in grief
–
Don’t envy me
Says wisdom to longing
When the cup of wine breaks
You will become me
Now it remains to be seen
Can I love me like you did?
Now that you are gone
Silent inquisitions, I forbid
–
The broken, fights the whole
But what does it defend?
Is grief the price we pay
To love fiercely til the end?
With each passing moment
As the distance grows longer
The laughter starts to fade
And the silence grows stronger
–
Now some day if we meet
And you are the Maker that I seek
I will ask only in silence
And in silence You will speak
I love
Not knowing if you need it or not
But because my heart desires
to abide in love
–
I pray
Not knowing if there is a God or not
But because my mind desires
to abide in hope
–
The longing in my heart
Tells the derision in my mind
Listen to the silence
And to myself — let me be kind
For every storm that comes
And every sun that sets
There is a blue sky behind
That never frets
It longs for no rainbow
Or the breaking of dawn
It rests in knowing
The light is never gone
