the wind, it blows, 

and seasons throw

me into age and grace,

light fills the room

in various hues,

and i miss you every day.

the mail, it piles,

my wardrobe styles

both change and stay the same,

the church bell tolls,

the news unfolds,

i miss you every day.

the lines are long,

i love this song,

and then it's overplayed,

movies release,

and roadworks cease,

i miss you every day.

the coffee brews,

alarms are snoozed,

everyone is on their way,

fireworks ablaze,

Happy Holidays, 

and i miss you every day.

memories resonate, 

midnight questions fate

as i solitary lay

in the bed you made

against my gainsay

and i miss you every day.

vibrance will dim,

present will win

over past and faded flames,

eventually,

you'll be over me,

and i'll miss you every day.

Hearts are fragile, but they're brave,

All the more because they break,

To risk a love

-well, it would take

A strength so delicate.

Be delicate with me.

Be loved with me.

Be in between the lines

Of recklessness and fear

Where we can trust what's here,

I trust what's here.

It isn't easy to believe
Beginnings ever do not cease,
To let this in,
Allow release,
Is a chance we both must take.

Believe with me.

Be loved with me.

Come live between the lines 

Of past innocence and tears

Where we can disappear

In safe surrender here.

Don't overthink it, love,

There's too much to conceive,

God is in the details

So we don't have to be,

Some things don't need questioned,

Blessing is a mystery,

Is this how it feels

...to know?

Be delicate with me.

Be loved indeed.

Be in between the lines

Where hopes meet peace.

Be strong with me.

Take my hand and see

We're in between the lines

Of recklessness and fear

And we can trust what's here,

      

          I trust what's here. 

♬ What a thing to believe in a dream... ♬ 

As my simple yet sumptuous Sunday succumbs slowly to the sunset, I sit perched and spying sidelong as my son scampers, soaked, across the sands summoning the waves tenaciously.

I sit in stillness saturating my lungs in salty sea air as satin waters break, shattering relentlessly and riotously against the steadfast stones remorselessly. This senselessly stirs my sentimental heart... I note my satisfaction and appreciate having known joy and peace, even in the face of life's sadnesses and strains, feeling a silent sense of subtle strength.

I observe the satiety of this moment, begging it not to be evanescent, and remember to say with sharpened sincerity, "Thank you, God. Thank you, Saviour." #alliteration #goodnightsunday
