Agape

Your love surrounds me,
I am healed
Your peace fills me,
I am complete

Without you I fall
Knees bruised and bloody
Still I remain silent -
Resisting your embrace

I know your power
But rely on mine
I know your grace
But choose my stress

When I seek you
My heart mends
When I serve you
Joy abounds

But still I wander
Afraid of surrender
While you stand -
Always waiting

Untitled

Holding back tears
Shortness of breath
Heart pounding in chest
Million pounds on my breast

So many questions
So many sighs
All too often I hear
A handful of lies

Inadequacy is
My middle name
Say what you will
It all sounds the same

Nights draped in shadow
Lonely and bleak
I open my mouth
Unable to speak
