Trusting

people-2597796_1280

I’m trusting you
For the time I’m here
Please don’t fail me now
Just steer me clear
I need your help
To guide my way
Oh God please show me
What to do and say

Here in the quiet

Here in the quiet
I find myself missing you
I feel the weight of your absence
Heavy on my heart

But it’s in these moments
That I begin to discover
The true wonder
Of all that you are

The lonely one

beach-254480_1280

Thinking of you today
and I ask myself this…
How can anyone be lonely
when they have a million friends?
But I suppose it’s more than that
isn’t it?
It’s the foundation
the connectedness
the secret loyalties among confidences.
All these things matter
in order to gauge the true value of a friend.
And sadly
without the right combination
our state of loneliness
is never very far away.

That will see us through

Rediscovering you…

10

When I read your words
All those wonderfully inspired words
A sense of longing and desire
Pulls me straight to you

As hard as I sometimes try
I can never deny your existence
Your words they come alive
Because you live in every one
