My Sin

Today it's clear and I can see
I'm not what you wanted from me
I lack the qualities you had sought
With flaws and cracks, I am wrought

Judge me now by your yardstick
Your judgement makes me deeply sick
I stand for what I know is right
Though not within your narrow sight

Be myself and away will fall
The chaff from wheat of friends I call
Be yourself and do not hide
Who you think you are inside

Your ugliness has reared it's head
And judged in me where my path led
Love me for who you see
Or take yourself away from me

I won't live for another again
For this seems to be my only sin.

Fear and Peace

There is that pang I know all to well
The pang of fear that is my Hell
Fear that grips my insides tight
Fills me with the dark of night

How I wish to run away
From the fear that is today
Fear I create unwillingly
Fear of which I'm never free

When will come the peace I seek
Release me from my darkness bleak
Fear can't live where peace resides
Please, peace come and live deep inside

Summer

In raging summer, oh! So grand,
I met a flood upon my land.
You washed over with a flood of fire,
Released me from the muck & mire.

Entrenched in mud from my own tears,
Imprisoned by my life of fears.
Cleanse from me all things past.
I pray, I pray our summer last.

Build and stoke my soul aflame!
Release the animal untamed!
Bite, bend, arch and claw,
Forgive all with empassioned flaw.

Rain upon my land so dry,
Kiss away the tears we cry.
Weep with passion, weep with pain!
Weep because it's all the same.

Burn with heat of summer sun,
Burn, my life has just begun!

Quiet

Oh quiet my mind, lover true
Penetrate my soul with you
Sing your song of silence blue
Meet me in the place we knew

Clear away my clouds of grief
Fill my heart with your belief
Steal my pain just like the theif
Crush it to bits, the autumn leaf

Abyss consumes, reverberates
Shaking walls, my body quakes
Release abounds, tears and shakes
Until again, my trembling waits

Close My Eyes

When I am afraid I close my eyes. Turning my head upwards, I relax and surrender. Amazingly,the danger always seems to pass me by, and I am unharmed.

Perhaps there was no danger after all. Perhaps my perception blurred reality, and faith is all I needed.

Why do I fear needlessly? Why do I trust what I see instead of what I know?

I feel you, your protection all around me, as it has always been. When will I learn to close my eyes?

Demons From My Past

Darkness consumed my heart,
Clouded my mind
The isolation of neglect
Had seated in my heart
So deep, for so long,
That I knew no love
Of love I longed to be a part.

I longed to feel your touch
In my soul,
Not just upon my skin
To hear your song with
Not ears but love
To believe it true deep within

I had been alone so long
I didn't see
Sabotaging my own happiness,
They say
Couldn't let your love in
Standing in my own way

In the darkness I found Hell
Cast away the demons from my past
Today is a new day, full of tomorrows
Today I know that love can last

A Thousand Miles

A thousand miles from home
You took yourself away
How was I to tell you
That I wanted you to stay

If what I feel is love
Then it seems I never knew
What love could be and
What there was that's true

I have lied so long
That now I am so scared
That it's my heart you've touched
And my soul that I have bared

The trust it comes
And then it goes
The fear subsides
And then it grows

A thousand miles away
You come to me today
What would make you come
So far for you to say?

A thousand miles I've come
So many more to go

A thousand miles, a thousand miles, a thousand miles I know.
