Step Into Love: A poem inspired by Colossians 2:14
Thoughts of guilt, come as breath For even breathing has its strife As I breath stones: I choke to death Self-struck, no body left: Entombed within my very life Accused by my every breath For life, for cause of death, So buried in by mortal strife: A deserved casket I expect In […]
Promise Wont Fail Me
My mind, it drifts out on tides of distrust My head is drowning with the weight of choice I hold out by one chain that never rusts Im tethered to the calling of your voice Anchor holds and ties me to the Sun It pulls me high above the thrashing waves Lifts me […]

First Breath: Yet another Sonnet Inspired by Romans 6
Seems that I was born nailed up to the cross Nails freshly hammered in for all my flaws Thes me hands nailed down by what my sins cost Yes, I was born to die for my own cause Life only the memory of all the nails Pulled to the void how I tried to […]
Smile Heart
Smile on my heart for we are free Wind of breath drifting in and out The soft hand of grace carries me Heart don’t you beat without a thought Why then should we try, just to be? So why heart do we strive to live? Why not let go and beat on free […]
