POEMS
In the Wilderness
Your blood is my best dress
Your smile is my best defence
Your shadow is where I sing.
it's where I sing.
in my best dress.
Your Hope is my favorite escape
Your Peace is my favorite friend
Your Joy is why I sing
it's why I sing.
I learned Hope in the wilderness
wore my best dress in the wilderness
You were enough in the wilderness
You were my rock in the wilderness
were my bread in the wilderness
You were enough
You are enough
I learned Hope in the wilderness.
Fly
You said I would fly
but I've only crawled
except when I fly
to You.
You said I would fly
but I've only stumbled
except when I fly
in You.
You said I would fly
but I've only fallen
except when I fly
for You.
The Wik Inside
Pour
I saw the liquid of the fire
Pour
and it connected,
connecting
like electricity on a wave
to the wik inside.
the wik inside
Heaven to the wik inside.
pour Your Heaven
to the wik inside.
Connecting,
connecting to
the wik inside.
the wik inside.
Silver Boots
silver boots
silver boots, touch the roots
oh touch the roots, unto my
silver boots.
reach up to my thigh
roots, reach up high
oh, I've touched the roots
with my silver boots.
now touch my thigh
sky, touch my thigh
roots, come up through
my silver boots.
my hands are high
held by the roots
stretched up through the roots
touched by my silver boots.
my hands touch the sky
of Your eye,
Your eye upon the roots
Your eye, upon this thirst
in the ground,
this thirst of the roots
I've touched with my silver
boots.
I've touched Your hunger
with my thirst
I've touched Your hunger
with my thirst
I've touched Your hunger
with my thirst
from the roots, up, up, up
through my silver boots
my silver boots
my silver boots
have touched the roots.
My Tower
Look at my tower
it's leaning.
It looks like I've failed,
my life is leaning
like the Tower of Pisa.
But look at my tower,
it's leaning on You.
My God,
You hold me,
and You hold my tower.
when it seems like
it's falling.
when it seems like
I'm falling.
Look at my tower.
it's leaning
on You.
Come in, Outside
open, open it
open, open it, to me
to us,
who are waiting for You
to open, open us
make it green.
make it green.
open it, open spring.
open, open it,
open spring.
make it green.
swinging on it too.
swinging on it too.
green.
the green of spring.
swinging on it.
open door. open doors.
open that door to green.
It's green.
it's outside.
open, open to it
open, open to it.
open, it's open, outside
open, come in outside
come in.
Diamond into Dust
like a diamond into dust
like us
like an arrow into mist
I must
watch the ice break
feel the ice fall
and become nothing
and become everything
become the future
There is no other place for my heart
but below, the river
vaste and empty
full and hungry
for our soul
the watery grave
like tears from the flames
like a falling star
