Found

This year has been strange, fascinating, new… All the things I know, the people that come and go, sit silent in my imagination. I speak without words and taste a God-given solitude. How beautiful, how tepid, lost like a dream forgotten.

Timelessness embodies the words my spirit delights in, and a comfort overwhelms. There are mysteries greater than the universe, quiet secrets breathed into all existence. The stars shine, bright angels in realms no eye has seen. The battles within and without all that we know, the one and only God who chose never to let us go.

I see a cross, and a man who fell beneath it. I feel the blood and tears of history, and my sin falls when it collides with eternity. A culmination of man’s evil desires, an abandonment of God’s only Son. What do we know and how shall we understand, the mystery of divine love and sacrifice, the endless passion to recover what’s lost.

A rewriting of hearts and stories untold, my wounds left open, so raw, so old. But a dawn unfolds like a dream forgotten, and banishes the night into forevermore. Ten thousand years and I will never forget you. On this side of eternity, I cry when the days seem long and sufferable. To bear more than one cross is an irony in a world full of games and money. But to remember God is my only destiny. All the things you ever dreamed of, and all you ever wanted, found in the heart of every soul.

Pandemonium

We are one In a black and white world From thorns to crowns We bleed in colour A man’s breath Is God’s breath We desecrate His image When we remain silent Brimming and brewing A broken world bleeds Mercy like rain For every shattered heart We are dwarfed by indifference Shadowed by fear They march(…)
The Whitened Harvest

“Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!” John 4:35 It was a seven-year harvest, and we could not have known the beginning from the end. I began, steeped in dreams of publishing grandeur, a young innocent. One who never considered the(…)
A Dream I Once Had

Time and waves This stilled heart, embraced Upon the deep ocean, my voyage drew the light of stars Every day was eternal I rested in fortresses of sand, wind, and wave They carried and filled All the broken cracks in me I wondered in quiet towns that lay in dreams Waiting to wake up They(…)
Skyscrapers

I grew up in skyscrapers A divine frontier, a home in the stars Nights of warm ember, lights shine forever It was you and I In a carousel dream Childhood melds into leaves, afternoons in the sun Dappled and strong, the bird that calls Echoes down marble halls A light in my room (…)
Redemption

The firmament of time, Where memories of deep Shimmer and fade As we walk into a new millennium I was lost and undefined When I gave all I had into words That would change my life Forever. I looked into the mirror And the girl was far, far gone into the vale of(…)
The Pursuit

The Pursuit was a wonderful and new experience in my life. This was my first time attending a ministry training conference. I was in a foreign place, away from loved ones and everything I knew to be home. I’d never been to London, Ontario, and was excited for it. I did not know that a(…)
Atonement

One year fragile The heart remembers her dreams It was an age gone by When desperate desire culminated into fantasy and delirium We came true at last. I remember every emotion, every day We live in memory Each golden moment treasured in the sun I found these pieces in your eyes. These tears stain(…)
