on my way home

i’m on a road
i think i’m in control
i think i know where i need to go
i think i can see
i think i can find my way back home
i think there’s nothing behind me
so why am i surprised
at the tears in my eyes
trying to be free
while looking for a sign
to ease my mind
as i struggle
to leave behind
all the troubled times
i carry in my soul
things said and done
they take a toll
make me want to run
but i choose to stay
and follow the Way
i sing of amazing grace
i sing through my tears
of a perfect love
that drives away fear
as the rain plays a melody
reminding me
that i am not in control
but i’m safe in the shadow
of the wings of His love
as i travel
on my way home

the in between

still on the journey
through achromatic beauty
everything is okay
no
really
it is
well
sort of
i can’t make sense of a anything
everything will be okay
at least i hope it will
but there is the now
the inbetween
the stumbling
not quite sure
which way to turn
i recognize
this strange
space of uncertainty
and stillness
and i cry
fast forwarding
isn’t fun
i cry
feels like
a lonely drowning
i cry
a jumbled pile
of grief and loss
wading through
shattered hope
and i cry
God
help me to accept
the immovable
reality of now
and rest
inhale
exhale
rest
i
cry

wind farm

Just a trio of wind farm images. Forgot about some images from a motorcycle ride last weekend. What’s on your SD card? Thanks for stopping by.

clouds

so i might as well
write about the clouds today
lately more than a few
have come my way
but
hey
why do i think
that it has to
always go
my way

clouds
gray
lately they seem to stay
these uninvited guests
well
even when i try my best
to pretend
they just won't rest
until tears reappear
tearing through
my gray
gray
mind
oh i wonder if
i will ever find
a way
through
all the clouds
and all
the
gray

oh cardinal
is there a prayer for me
wrapped up 
in all your music
and melody
through the gray
the notes they fly
to find the light
they tell my soul
that it’s okay
to take a stroll
through
all the clouds
and all
the
gray
and just stay
wait
and
pray
