The Cornerstone

The Cornerstone

I will make you sit
to see above your head
I will make you kneel
to properly cleanse
I will make you squat
to balance what is on your head
I will make you stand
to see many a horizon
I will make you stretch
to reveal what is hidden
I will make you leap
to grow and touch the sky
I will make you rest
after having passed the many tests
I will be your fortress
so you can shelter from the storms
I will build you up
you will never be destroyed.

A Wisp of Steam

A Wisp of Steam

Slowly you rise
stretched thin
before their eyes
controlled by heat
moulded by fire.
Yet
you dear to defy
try to deny
your destiny.
Pride 
in your eyes
blind 
you do not see
the truth
you disappear
into thin air.

Let Go

Let Go

Don't
get confused
by fear
without reason.
Test
the spirit
see the truth.
Don't 
be dispossessed
by falsehood
and doubt
trust
believe
receive.
Stay
rooted
to the truth.
Don't 
lose heart
be faithful
be true.
Stay focused
on the light
chase away
deceptions
of the night.

The Light in your Heart

The Light in your Heart

That light within 
can never go dim
never be snuffed out
nor tossed about
into the sea to swim or sink.

That light within
cannot be dismissed on a whim
because it insists
that it must exist
where there is life.

That light within
can be renew on a hymn
of thanksgiving
for the love you display
when you encourage it to stay.

That light within
lifts up your heart
each day requiring a new start
to all that you are
and all the possibilities it brings.

This is the light in your heart...

Unmerited Favor

Unmerited Favor

I thought... 
I had to give you my world - 
at least that's what I heard.
I thought I had to please you
just to get through 
or find an imaginary chink
in your armour
to get to the light.
But I did not move.
I could not move,
because I did not what to lose
the one and only chance I had
so I set to run
to grab onto your gown...

But before I heard the gun
I felt the breeze 
brush against my cheeks
and a voice that made it impossible to breathe
impossible to move:
Be still and know...
