Wrestling with Addiction
How long will this deep soul battle go on?
And the moment you declare the Lord’s generosity
The shimmering light of hope reflects off a jagged corner of my fractured soul
Step aside young soul, and watch the Lord uproot the monstrosity
Fighting Ire
This one goes out to those dealing with pain and the frustration that accompanies pain. You’re not alone. Ten out of ten people die, it’s true. Don’t cut it short. Do something, even while in pain.
Country Construction Site
This is what happens when you wake up wanting to attempt writing a country song and your three year old son begs you to write about construction vehicles.
Wise Historian
Are the wise looking for a prize?
Or do they spy the sky for a mystery?
Above a book they rise with dim eyes
They write misery but speak liberty
Searching Waves
Don’t know ‘bout radio activity
Why they carve wisemen on the nativity?
Not sure about empathy; I’ve got no pity
Not sure about mayonnaise
Or cashin’ in when I turn a phrase
But you’ll find me six feet under at the end of this maze
left and right gods
Faith in man without faith in God is senseless
Hope in man is bleak
We the people choose left and right gods
Loud gods who are weak
Forgiveness
The pulse of the snare
The hum in the ear
We came to forget
Perplexed at what we hear
