Unshaken Faith

When on glass does the emerald sunset glow
When fair child set at yonder window show
Watching passerby boats wondering where they'll go
Whispers on the wind maybe someday a happy child they will show

This child could tell her story, sing it on the winds
Claiming everything in this world that she ever wanted
Saying to the world i am me, and i want more
Going without she is no stranger to
Like locks put on love someone put a lock on her heart 
Only able to come and go, but not to speak
Living in total silence has scarred her

She longs for the day when she can sing like a song bird
She hopes for a day when she no longer has to beg for love
She dreams for the world and cries its tears
She lives in the moment and casts her cares to the wind

She writes her name in the dust on the ground
She is broken, ashamed, left alone in a world that refuses to slow down
She begs for clarity, solace and right answers
She is tired of lies, slander and everything dark

She wanders the lost seas of loneliness
She beckons to her inner child
Where have you gone, and for what
Please don't leave me 

She sees the truth makers and longs for its constant
Her true hope is realized in a rising awake nation
A nation that pours it's love out for the broken hearted
A nation that shares her blessings, stops being greedy

One day she whispers to herself
It will all be okay one day
People will no longer search and not find
They will know what they want, they will not harm others to get it

In the distant sun she sees a great world
Unchained by sin
Unbroken by pain and suffering
Shiny and made new

She is afraid if she says it out loud it will be taken
But she will not be shaken
She cannot be mistaken
What would the world be without faith that can't be shaken

The Beast's Rose

Life is like the Beast's rose
Perfectly timed, precious, fragile
Often times you don't know what you have
Until you've had it for a while
You turn it over and over looking at it
Suddenly you realize, its not what you really wanted
Traipsing through the rocky untold road of destiny and divine intervention
You may find yourself with all your hopes and dreams dashed
You may feel it is irreconcilable and hurts with a fine point tip
You may hear the age old liar spinning his tall tales whispering "to just give up"
I tell you "I have seen true terror and have endeavored treacherous lies"
None worse then spies putting on the bedroom eyes
Love lost much, left parts aching, lust denied more
Left me broken, untrusting, awake in the night
In the end, more aware if the silent side effects screaming beware!


In this shattered state i met Jesus fate to fate
It was a struggle to be remembered
Over something that wasn't truly there
If you follow fantasy your bound to fail
If you follow your dream it will die
If you follow your struggle it will surely bring you down with it
If you bond your will to Gods, you will achieve all your heart desires and more
Please don't wait, when you hear Jesus knocking at the door


The Beast's rose is a symbol of your love cup, waiting to be filled
Being filled to overflowing death could rage at your door
And it would only strengthen your resolve
When it becomes low it will show on your countenance
Keep what is in your heart pure, never mistaking whats real
Remember that sorrows come and go
There is always an uphill after a down
Promises will be broken, people will fail
But always remember to let God lead you and your feet will not fail, but fall on solid ground


Ember Rose

She rose with the dawn each morning
Looking for a signal or a sign
Something that would say it's going to be alright
Searching in the distance for a shining light
Gazing through the hazy firelight
Looking for the strength, the will to fight
Praying that what is inside does not die
What she would do to take back what went wrong
Seeking anything everything to soothe the deep aching inside
Trying to cover up the shame from the years of lies
Trying to seek some sort of refuge from the tears
Tears that could pour into rivers
Forsaking all once cared for
Throwing dreams into the deep murky waters of life
Seeking fortune and fame leaving no one left to blame
You just stand there taking the turbulent waves of distraction
Trying to gain a foothold, but finding none
When the wave comes don't hold your breath
breath in deep, let it go
When it is friend or foe you seek
its all in the keepers keep
watch what he does, watch what he designs
It will amaze you and will create in you something so real, so awake
It can never be fake, make your claim
Claim your stake, but to remember to always love others, for heaven's sake.
