Lord,
I come to You thirsty for Your Mercy and Grace,
Tormented and humbled, naked and ashamed.
Just a man stripped of his armor and all of his pride,
But I always knew I stood as a child in Your eyes.
I will not ask for Your forgiveness ever again,
For I know that He has already died for my sins.
I took You for granted and sought to do this on my own,
But Lord I now see I can't do this on alone.
The more my directions led me further away from Your light,
The more I felt empty from this raging sea thats inside.
I am asking for shelter and peace to make the seas calm,
My punishments well deservered, but I know that it had to be done.
Humility before Honor brings me back to that place,
The beginning of Hope to see Your perfect face.
Please give me my wings for just a moment of flight,
Im no longer the weak one whose spirit cowards from fight.
Lead my footsteps to Wisdom, but let my heart become free,
Forever Your son and like Him I will be.

VAYA CON DIOS
( GO WITH GOD )
OR
DIOS VA CON USTED
(GOD GOES WITH YOU)
WHICH EVER YOU TAKE
IF ON HIM BELIEVE
YOU CAN KNOW
YOU WILL NOT BE ALONE
FOR WE ALL WILL NEED
SOMEONE BIGGER THAN US
WHO CAN HANDLE MOUNTAINS
WHO CAN OPEN UP THE SEAS

kindness is a cup
love the wine preserved
from centuries
hands pour the wine
of love into your cup
people made of clay
God pours the wine
divine into the soul
life is imparted
to quench
to satisfy
day by day

She comes to you,
To disrupt,
The life you live,
To interrupt.
Bringing in her chaotic
Disorder,
To ruffle your feathers,
To awaken your inner
"Pre-orders"
She shakes your world,
Making you think,
Opening your eyes,
Making you blink.
Hold on a second,
This is taboo!
No one should speak bout things,
Things that you
Do.....
Shock! Horror! Disgusting
It happens to most of us ,
Things that hurt us
And turns you into
Un feeling frost!
But Chaos I am and
So I shall stay,
Reminding you of things,
That you pray,
To forget, things that you hide,
For these things could destroy your pride.
In enabling you to be
Strong,
Especially when others
Think, that you are
Wrong...
I shake your world in things that you
Know,
Awaken in all of us to things,
Unknown.
In Chaotic Order she stands her ground,
Knowing through her,
The answers are never
Found.
She is Chaos.
She is trouble.
She is also Love.

Order he is, he balances
All,
So he can catch them,
When they
Fall,
He shows them an option, in things that
They choose,
The right or the wrong way, is up to
You.
He shows that peace is
Maintained,
In things that are orderly,
And restrained.
And yet in his Order, he also knows,
That Chaos is his companion, in her he
Glows.
Not 'cos' he is "better"
Or more,
Perfect,
But because, together as one, they are,
Complete.
He is Order.
The bringer of Peace.
He is also Love.

What gift is this that God has blessed me with....to absorb everyone's pain, to feel every cut and graze within....
Able to touch a person's hand, and know and feel whether they are good or bad...is this truly a gift, or is this my punishment, to endure and cure and mediate rifts...
My intuition is far deeper than is needed, to recognise sorrow within and the need to heal everyone's personal defects...should I fight this and be blind to peoples needs, or should I carry on God's work and reap the rewards of this blessed gift...
I walk in to an unknown dwelling, and I feel it's presence of past and present, I sense the presence of ancestors passed away, the room fills with the aroma of cookies and mince pies....
I walk the rooms to where my curiosity takes me, I smell past lives, tobacco smoke smoked from a pipe, old fashioned perfumed scent that still lingers...
Who smokes a pipe I ask, and who is wearing that sweet old fashioned scent....the last people to share this room my Grandmother say's...your great Grandparents..they of whom passed away twenty years ago...
She looks at me with tears that trickles down her long lived cheeks, don't fear it she say's, for it is a gift, you are blessed with this, use it to heal and help other's....
I feel this everyday, in one form or another..but no longer do i fear it or dismiss it's sense and power....what sacrifice is this if it heals other's pain..long may my gift continue, and never shall i let it wain...

There are steeples
That touch the passing clouds
Cathedral choirs
Church congregations
Gather together
To raise a song and prayer
Spoken and silent prayers
Come from heart and soul
Prayers for help
Prayers of need
Asking to be whole
Pass the steeple in the clouds
Up they soar
Way on high
Beyond the stars
Toward the place
God s throne of grace
And there find merciful replies

If only I was twenty years younger,oh my God there would be thunder
I would be, I tell you this, lying if I did not wonder
At my age, I would be under, a spell of no small number
My my how good is this and then I fall in the abyss
And then I thought if only I was twenty years younger
There is no thunder there is no God,why don't I feel the wonder
I am now at the age of consent and feel no resent
My wishes have been granted and I am full of repent
Then I was another twenty years younger,scared and empty
It is dark and quiet, no smell, no wind, nothing
There was no threat, there was no pain, is this insane
I pray to God to help me be, the man I used to be
I wake today, and I believe, what I have told you, is well conceived
I pray for all, you do not fall,believe me it is a brawl
The only way to find your peace is to realise who is the beast
We all know God,believe him true and then you will be safe too.

Why do people judge?, why do people care?
to write a feeling from the heart, is it wrong
is it fair?
It seems to me, from what I see, I'm nothing
more than an entity, unique?, oh yes, just
like you, there's nothing more, there's nothing
true,
Are words written from the mind?, or played
out from what we find?, is everything we see
so real?, or just a thought of what we feel?,
I can't decide, I just don't know, I guess I
need, I need to grow.

Petals falling from the
Sky,
From the God's above,
Way up high
Blessings you shall
Receive,
Blessings you shall
Achieve.
One by one a Petal
Falls,
Falling on those that dare to
Call,
For the Light Inside them
To brightly
Shine,
So that others can see
And also
Find,
Hope, Justice, Peace and
Truth,
Love, Forgiveness and Compassion
Too.
Soon this world will go
Through a change,
Many will despair, and seek out a place,
A place to hide from all their fears,
A place to hide, all their
Tears.
But the ones with the
Petals, will brightly
Glow,
In the darkness,it is they
That will
Show,
And give their Petals to
Those in need,
Teaching others, helping
Them in,
Deed.
Blessings you shall
Receive,
Blessings you shall
Achieve.
