12/1 - December, Baby

I plan December in July.
It's HERE!
The best time of the year!
And the time where we'll be
Together once more
Is drawing ever so near!

:D

11/30 - Normal

How is there normal?
There is no normal.
Only before and after.
You change me constantly.

Each time we adjust.
In time we adjust.
Soon we'll adjust.
Then normal will change.

11/28 - no

no
push away tomorrow
morning you are
going
with each tear
ripping through the
heart
of the matter
whats the matter
is i cant stop
i cant stop
i cant stop
time
theres no
time
to stop
tomorrow
no time
no

11/27 - Don't Let Go

I'm holding
tight
to the moment
Too tight
because I don't
want to let go
But it only seems
to move faster
than if
I let it be
So I will let it go
hoping it won't
let go of me.

I Don't Promise

I don't promise

To always be there for you,

To care for you in illness,

Or pain,

To carry you in weakness,

To lift you up through doubt,

To hold your hand through trials,

To go with you where life leads.

I don't promise these things.

Because promises are things people break.

I sing these things.

They are the melody of my soul 

And I sing them

To the universe and all creation.

That is the only way I know how to tell you

That I will love you always. 

Promises alone shall never be enough,

Shall never truly express

This One Truth.

So I shall sing to you

The melody of my soul

That is completed in each moment 

By your love.

11/26 - Thankful

I am thankful for love -- all the forms of love in my life: dear friends all over the world, a family always by my side, the love and guidance of a merciful God, and the heart that holds my own.  I wept tears of overwhelmed joy today.  Life has always been moving forward and up, no matter when I thought it wasn't or that love in all of these ways was impossible for me.

No one is alone in this world.  There is love abounding, in any of these ways, just waiting to be discovered and cherished and rejoiced in.

I pray that we can all find it for ourselves and share it with the world that is so desperately in need for more.

11/24 - Still Love Me

Still love me,
even when we travel
way too early in the morning?
<3 :)

11/23 - Rest

Rest:

here in my arms,

where I shall tell the world

to be still;

here on my breast,

where I am strong enough

for your worries;

here over my heart

where I love you
more than myself.

Where You Go

Where you go, I will go

Where you stay, I will stay

I am yours, as you are mine

For forever and a day

Without you I cannot be

Just as stars cannot shine

Without the blanket of night

So I am yours and you are mine.

One

One day

Til your arms

Your smile

Your eyes looking

Directly into mine.

<3

A Year Ago

A year ago I would not have guessed how in love I would be today.

A year ago I could not have known that such feelings were even possible.

A year ago I had just started getting to know you.

Oh to think of a year from now and all that is yet to be known!

I love you - every day, for every year of the rest of our lives.

The Point of Everything

Love:

Give and receive it.

Celebrate and cherish it.

Share it freely.

Allow it to reach you.

Let it protect you.

Let it heal you.

Let it support and sustain you.

Let it move you.

Let it change you.

11/15 - Love Enters In

Love enters in
And gathers the nations
To peace at one table
To share in one cup.

Love enters in
With grace and forgiveness,
A light in the darkness
To heal broken hearts.

So let us give thanks
And sing praise to the One
Who chose us in love
Through the life of the Son.

And as we gather together
To glory in Him,
Let us stand open-hearted
As Love enters in.

Saturday Song

7 days, my love.

Rapture

In these gifts you give this earth

I hear

I feel

Your soul.

This is not mere fantasy

Nor an echo of a dream;

it is a knowing 

Of all the beauty inside you

Poured out for others.

Another time I shall peruse

The pensive attitude 

Plaguing me with wonderings:

Why me

How am I worthy of

Such feeling, of such knowing?

For now I shall lay down my head,

Open to the wondrous rapture

Of you,

And peacefully I shall rest.

The Gravity

That night

My soul felt the gravity

Before my head

Or heart

Could wrap tendrils of thought

Around your affections.

That night

My soul read the future

From the palm of your

Open heart.

That night 

My soul knew what had to be

And so fell 

Into your open arms

That had been waiting for me

For eternity.

My Heart

My heart, to all things, but especially one thing, shouts an exuberant YES!

Sending surprises

Sharing dreams

Calling out of the blue

Making time

Sharing laughter

Making plans

Admiring achievements and talents

Supporting goals

Being honest and vulnerable

Taking care of both ourselves and each other

Sharing challenges and burdens

Sending dog pictures :)

Taking chances and believing in good

Love is

Make it Through

With you

I'll make it through.

All you are to me

Helps me see the light.

With you

I'll make it through.

Every joy you bring

Makes every day so bright.

And so I'll make it through

I won't give up the fight

I will make it through

To be with you.

Brave

Alone I'm not scared,

But with you I'm brave.

Alone I'm not weak,

But with you I'm strong.

Alone I stand firm,

But with you I conquer.

Alone I exist,

But with you I live.
