I gave myself permission

to be wonderful today
Sure I'll probably still feel small
at times
and at times I'll be
a little too big for my britches
and maybe I'll cry
when others are laughing
or sigh when
people think i should
shout
maybe I'll giggle
when the priest drops the
bread into the wine
or chortle
when the funeral procession winds
past my window
but it'll be because
I know it's all a dream
We'll wake up from the
nightmare one day & say
Yea & then
realize a new one has begun.

The paper moment

I have an idea I must write down
Where's my journal?  I ask myself
I put it away a bit ago
I was busy moving and
organizing and
assisting
It's what I do
but I must write
and I'm daydreaming
instead of looking and
oh, there's J,
peeking out from the top of my backpack.
*reaches out hungrily*

I just realized

the main problem
has always been
that I believed them
when they told me
I wasn't wonderful.
I was like,
who isn't wonderful?

I am a Rose

I am a child so quickly growing

Grounded firmly in the Truth

Learning Love, seeking Wisdom

With the Innocence of Youth


Chorus: I am a rose slowly unfolding

             Drawing nearer to the Sun

             Ev’ry day sharing beauty

            ‘Til my time on Earth is done


I am a Soul silently changing

Growing closer to my God

Step by step being guided

On this upward path I trod


Chorus


I am so old and slowly moving

Dropping petals ev’ry day

Knowing Peace is my partner

Helping others find the way


Chorus

The Infinity of Possibilities

But Really-
with all these decisions
to make
no wonder we're
all insane.

i 8 it all

and then i got heartburn.

and then it showed back up.

2 remember
I am god,

a new year

this past year was full of change for me.
i lost my wife and my job on the same day. 
i traveled around the country
and transplanted across the country.
i've written more songs in the past two months
than i wrote in the past 10 years,
and i've been blessed with
the opportunity to perform them
and a bunch of beautiful people
who like to come out
and listen to me sing them.
it's been a long, strange, winding road,
and i have the feeling it's not going to get
any less strange or winding
anytime soon.
good thing i'm buckled in.
