Poem: "Desperate" written 12/23/03

desperate for You
want to feel You in my veins
break the chains that would keep us apart
-break my heart-
longing to know You
savor Your presence
to be like You
slave of righteousness
You are my holiness
expectantly drawing me
forever thirsty
You are everything
abba, I will wait
set my path straight
I need the guidance
of Your commands
loving discipline of Your hands
I have tested You
as children do
forgive me, Father
make me new
I feel You carry me
above the clouds
You open my heart
as You shut my mouth
I am speechless
at a loss for words
that which my soul has cried
I know You have heard
no words are known
to express how I feel
all that's left to say
lift me as I kneel....

quote: a card from friends

"Because G-d orders our steps, we can always be assured that there is enough time in each day to do his will. He sets the pace. He is never anxious. His purpose is for us to move in rest, live in peace, abound in joy, and depend totally on Him to accomplish through us all He desires." - Roy Lessin

poetry: purple ink


scared little girl


in solitude


haunted and troubled


no one knows her name


alone in her pain




she has grown up


before You


You never missed a moment




a newly lit spark


in her deep brown eyes


You have set her


heart on fire




You have honored her


like she has never known before


set upon her a crown


taken her as Your own




You've ignited a creativity


that cannot be exinguished


she scribbles in purple ink


somehow it all makes sense.
