O Lord God

O Lord God

My vitality has dried up inside me
I know not where I go
I look but I do not see
I hear but I do not listen

O Lord God
Where art thou in this desert?
My hopes have been fried
By the furnace of my soul
A raging fire

Release me into Your rivers
Where the deer panteth the waters
Deliver me into spring
Where the lilies dance in Your sight
And where the sparrow sing

In this darkness, I gasp for
the Breath of Life
To strengthen my bones
and add meat to my body
So that I may be whole

The Day We Walked



It was this time when a story began to unfold
A tale of two friends on a journey together
Of love, sacrifice and hope
Despite the thunderstorm and the sunny spring

As they talked by the bridge
And take in the atmosphere
She couldn't help but notice his brown eyes
While he admired her mesmerizing smile

One gaze that froze the perfect polaroid frame
A moment where the hands of the clock froze
Amidst the lapping water and the yellow pollen
Despite the barks of an agitated canine

While they walked along the road
Showered with beautiful flowers
A green-eyed feline watched them
His curiosity grew while she stood away

They couldn't help but to tame the intensity
of their hearts jumping inside them
As they walked back to the bridge
Because time had run out

Like a gentleman, he walked her back to the gates
She smiled quietly watching him at the opposite road
When it was time to part
They smiled and gave their last wave

As he walked back, she thought
of the beautiful frienship they share
That will transcend borders
And one day will bring them together

"Dear beloved, lovely art thou
Like the sun that shines and the stars that sparkle"
As they await the long wait when they
Can finally belong together, forever.
