farewell, my precious

i searched so long for you
your insights on humanity
from an immortal's perspective
had been my constant companion
in my sorrow

you taught me a lot
about this fallen world
while keeping loneliness
at bay

now my silence
cannot save you
from the torch
that is your fate
but i will hide you
if i could only learn
of your wherabouts
before it's too late

and if i fail,
this dull throbbing pain
will not cease
until i find you again.

*** my poor book, you were accused of being evil. they sentenced you to be burned like a witch on a stake for a crime you didn't make. poor thing.

yesterday

i skipped church yesterday. i was sick with fever. but i've been more worshipful than i've ever been since i got home for the summer. my siblings are playing the piano and i keep hearing Be Thine My Vision and Amazing Grace even though they didn't play either of two. yesterday was full of drama and i still can't fathom how i was able to keep my temper in check.

my lullaby

Somewhere Out There
written by James Horner, Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil

Somewhere out there beneath the pale moonlight
Someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight

Somewhere out there someone's saying a prayer
That we'll find one another in that big somewhere out there

And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star

And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky

Somewhere out there if love can see us through
Then we'll be together somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true

And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star

And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky

Somewhere out there if love can see us through
Then we'll be together somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true

this fallen world
'tis filled with despair
if not for grace
i'd bid it farewell.

What Do People Envy About You?

for chris

you're going home
such cruel words
no surprise
would ever justify
the coldness
of what was said

you have talent
and a bright future
you'll reach your dream
someday soon
and melt my heart again.

patch

a patch of green
grass
maybe, just
maybe
staring into
it will
give
me
peace.

banca ride

green becomes blue
and black becomes white
as the cooling breeze
battles the scorching heat

the waves crash into the shore
but we glide over them all.
