Where, Who, What, and yet...

where have you come from

who have you been

did you grow up in night with heartbreak instead

of being in light and finding your dreams

or is your  life not all that it seems

where have you come from

who have you been

what dark secrets inside you what joys from within

what makes your heartbeat for all that has been

and all that is yet to be

where have you come from

who have you been

the mystery of your past alludes me

your face is turned within so I can’t see your eyes

I can’t remember your face

yet you are present in my dreams

Faded Gray

Our life passes by in such a blur of faded gray,

Colors' momentary vibrance just up and fade away.

Memories once so peaceful, or happy joyous too,

Sink in our mind's recesses, to be forgot by me and you.

What is this fuzz in memory that blurs our human minds?

Deterring passing memories with the lull of passing time?

It is pervasive in its illness and affects us one and all

It is the gray of sinfulness that has caused our world to fall.

But a remedy exists, my friends, amidst this squalid gray,

It is a very simple cure that will keep this curse at bay.

No money is required, nor any actions will there be,

For this cure cannot be bought, you first must plainly see.

Instead grow quite in your heart and tune out excess noise,

And listen for a still, small voice that heals, not destroys.

For despite the still it thunders and it vibrates in your soul,

It is the Voice of Jesus Christ which is most wondrous to behold.

For me to live alone is death

within this life that's just a breath,

for all my striving's left undone

and in this world i have no one,

for none with me can truly see

who i am and meant to be,

for i am meant to stand alone

but yet my future's still unknown,

and so i look up to my Christ

who gives me meaning in this life,

He leads and guides me all the way

and holds me close in case i stray,

for all the safety from alarms

i've found within His open arms.

Always accepted

...but never a part of

You are only as much as you ever wish to be.
