Street Corners

There are nights the world is still,

and empty hearts need to fill.

Hiding in street corners,

they are closer than we think.

Sweet Berries

Content where they are

sweet berries wait.

In time a hand comes

revealing their fate.

Chosen by exterior

sweet berries do not deceive.

Buds left with a pleasant taste

what do berries receive?

Leaves

The leaves are full of color

We dance and let them fall

Landing on our shoulders

Never living this way at all.

Done

My nails have chipped.

The moment is gone.

It comes so slow

but soon it's done.

Each moment is a drop of rain.

You watch it fall

and you feel the splash.

You lose it all.

Lost

Can you hear my thoughts?

Lord, they're racing through my mind.

Confusing my emotions deeply,

these words are not too kind.

I'm being pushed into doubt,

and there's nothing I can say.

Lord, they're getting louder now.

Show me the better way.

Where my pride is non existent.

Where I fall to you on both knees.

Hoping for my vocation,

Lord make it clear to me.

It seems like everyone knows

exactly what they're going to do,

and I sit here crying, lost

Lord, can I be amazing too?

I've been given talents

that I've seem to forgotten how to use.

My thoughts put them down,

and my confidence is abused.

So bring me back.

Draw me near.

Take my hand.

Wipe my tears.

Love Letters

I often find you

in places that can't be seen.

In the notebook of my heart

you write me love letters

only I can read.

Heart

What the heart needs

is a pair of wings

never needing to fly.
