Something.

Beautiful things;
caterpillar wings.

Wrapped up in clock-heads of gadgets that sing

Songs of a new age;
Poems of an old.

Something.
Quick
Quiet
Can't
quite put my finger on it.

Beautiful things,
those caterpillar wings.

You Stand With Me

the breaking point
is always closer than I imagine
your need
is always deeper than my heart can reach
yet even though
there is urgency behind your soul
must I remind myself constantly
to see?

your desires
are never enough
your passion
cannot stand alone
surely you would fail
if ever you tried to stand
on your own

I will not leave you here this way
but I cannot help you
I cannot help you

oh God,
my heart is not an open book
have You no tact?
doesn't it matter that it hurts
to give You all of it?
how is it possible
that even when I am truly Yours
it could never be everything You want
from me?

my desires
are never enough
my passion
cannot stand alone
surely I would fail
if I ever tried to stand
on my own

please don't leave me here this way
please complete me
please complete me

I cannot be Yours without You
I am not what You deserve
I am not what You deserve

You make it possible
for me to love completely
Your grace is more than
enough for my heart to be made whole
You love so I can love You
there is no other way for me to
love You

Your desires
are enough
Your passion
stands alone
You never fail
when You stand
on Your own

yet You stand with me
You stand with me

Not Superhuman

I cannot change the past,
so I won't pretend like I can.
For I have been forgiven
by the mercy on His hands.

I am not invincible,
so I won't pretend like I am.
I'll give it up to God because
I know He understands.

I cannot see the future,
so I won't pretend like I do.
A worried heart is too unhealthy
so I'll give all that up too.

My heart doesn't rule my head,
but my head doesn't rule my heart.
It's a mutual understanding
to leave God to do His part.

Subliminal messages,
uncanny conversation
no question! no question! no question!
"we do not speak your language."
kickin' back, old school
means ya ain't learnin' nothin' new

Stuck in the comfortable,
lookin' for a revolution.
It's not happening there.

Ορθάνοιχτος

Bring me beyond my deepest desires
Let me see Your love alone
That I may be satisfied in no other power
Of which any man should ever hold

Conversation

Artful delicacy
with words of little meaning
is but a small accomplishment.
To achieve the opposite, however,
is admirable to even those
that don't yet recognize it.

Focus

Not all ideas were created equal
but that's easy to forget

The music won't drown out the noise forever
reality lurks behind the ignorant too
so don't forget to take life in context
sugar and milk are less valuable by themselves
imagination runs wild, so convincing in the moment
so easily misunderstood

Importance lies in the bigger picture
problems become
smaller than they seemed

Focus.
