Flight

Easy as cutting through warmed butter just like the wings cut through clouds. 
Mind gets opened, clear & relaxed. 
Freedom that's freely given by excepting the challenge of the unknown flight. 
Not knowing what it will entail or reveal. 
Different seeings from different angles but same destination.  
Never knowing what you'll see, how you'll see it or how it changes. 
It's space waiting to be discovered like a hidden planet filled with air. 

What is air? What is cleared spaced undiscovered? Is the sky filled with air or does air make up the sky? 

Free from the worries of the day, the hauntings of the yesterday's or the fear of the tomorrow's.
Lifted from the weight of gravity & even the waiting. 
Only seeing shadings of what is revealed, textured with what creates. 
Light, for it shows or lack of, hides. 
Watching as the clouds form into that mountainous figures filled with mystical creatures and unsought adventure. 
Taking you to places only dreamed of. Making them that much closer to reality.

Honestly Battling


Listening to Christian music, surrounding lovers of Jesus as a border.
Trying to block out but what was rooted so unknowingly deep.
Core of life.
Noticed by the faithfulness of steady hands and heart.
Why am I wanting out?
No good excuse to want. Even with the strongest taunt.
I was born this way crumbles to the ground as being shot from an archer.
Seeing them doesn't help. How can I be attached with one?
Unchartered maps of none answerable questions have become my consistency.
Tossed around the sea by the waves of impurity and false satisfaction.
Confusion seems to be my oxygen, but you don't have to tell me again.
I know He's here!
But why?!
Oh why does it seem my life is crumbling like an avalanche? Looking side to side curled waiting for life to crush me… waiting… slowly realizing warmth being blanketed over me.
Seeing the war of rocks and snow being a braced.
It is He! The One who is so faithful. The shoulder and chest that is always there but so easily forgotten.
Oh the passiveness of apathy entangles me like marrow in my bones.
I have noticed I do everything possible for me not to 'fall away' but do I speak and take action?
Oh the passiveness of apathy entangles me like marrow in my bones.
Why do I scream 'I'm fearless' when I can't let go?

Light Beneath The Darkness

Light beneath the Darkness

Burning beneath the ground it shines
My hearts wickedness makes me vomit
Under it all my heart is rotten
How can it be
How can it be
That this Light
Beneath my grossness purifies
Every inch it touches
Cleansed
The scenes no one sees the acts behind the certain
The thoughts that make up the thinking
Poisoning the crevices it sees
Like a wild fire it peirces my mind
But
How can it be
How can it be
That this Light
Beneath my grossness purifies
Every inch it touches
Cleansed
Seemingly thinking I have to go back
Retracing my path of destruction
Making things harder even though it doesnt have to be
Hating moment by moment
Thinking I need this, it's the only way to live
Half way done the Light speaks
"What are you doing I've made a new way?!"
Retracing my retracted path
The pull of the path
Heavy weighing me back down
One step at a time braking through the Darkness
The Light beneath pushes my stubbornness towards the Thrown of Light
How can it be
How can it be
That this Light
Beneath my grossness purifies
Every inch it touches
Cleansed!

Planting




The land is made with detailed darkness, not missing a corner
Looking appealing
Looking radiant as ever
Consuming the fruit it bears and as the minds take a quick glance
Captured by the utter darkness
Once your hooked
Once your tricked
Once your took
There's only one way out
Stumbling around the addictive tarn
Never seeming to come off
Scraping and scraping
Soon to find out there is nothing left…
There's nothing left
Dead is the flower in mid blizzard
Not getting up
The way out, where is it?
The way out, where is it?
Where's the exit?
I can't see it!!!
I can't see!!!
The sun still asleep
Aching for a breath of freedom and life
Waiting
Waiting
For that glimpse of hope
Just a peek
That's all
one glance
Shrieking back waiting to die

Unexpectedly the Light pierces the murky tar
In shock giving hope
The flower twitches
Life was presented as a beacon
Freedom permeated the air
And behold
In the midst of darkness
Planted there
Standing strong
Rooted so fast but deep
A lamp post
Pealing back the darkness
Shriveling the tar
Fresh life growing as a willow tree
And behold
In the midst of darkness
Planted there
Standing strong
Rooted so fast but deep
A lamp post
Freedom was brought, given and desired deep down
And behold
In the midst of darkness
Planted there
Standing strong
Rooted so fast but deep
A lamp post
Shining extravagantly with pure untainted life
Planted there
Rooted so fast but deep
A lamp post
A beacon of life
