secret
I love the way
light enters the
glass of your eye
like the sun passing
through a dewdrop;
everything comes
alive.
The Call
It's desire, this quiet fire burning brighter than any other I'm feeling lighter In Your light Like a wisp of smoke this hope like incense rising from the woods This little boy's prayer whispered and heard from within a crowd, an earnest song laced with love that makes it clear and loud I've heard Your call it's unmistakable, unbreakable though I can see through it like glass and i don't know what else to do but call back and put my wheels on your track where will You take me?
life still flows from the place in my heart
where you are,
it flows red and it flows warm
I try to bury it in a sea of good intentions
ideals and confident smiles
but this river,
your river,
runs deeper
and I can’t see it
ever running dry.
Reblog if it’s okay to befriend you, ask questions, ask for advice or just have a nice chat.
Reblog if you’re Catholic.
if anyone has a problem with it, you probably should have unfollowed me ages ago.

a heavy pendant
you’re always yearning,
always burning
but never learning
the infinite
you’re trying to find
won’t be in the finite
agua de vida won’t be
in that dry, dusty well
so don’t dip
your feet.
but you can’t just leave
it be when you can still
see strands of heaven
awash in her hair
no matter how short
when your blood cells
are still scratching out
her name on the back
alleys of your heart
yet you can’t stand to let it all
know the light of day,
and so your love sits like change in
your pocket,
the gold you
were afraid to give.

on acting
always too
polite always afraid
what happened to the me
that literally
stood before blackness
chest bared, sun in face
declaring at the top of my
lungs
I am here
simply, without punctuation
without esoteric padding
I am here
where I became light
sound itself in the silence
in my unconscious where I gave my whole
body to someone else, something else
cinderella, the pigeon, the spaniard, the bar patron
where i simply spoke
and was no longer allergic to my own reflection
what happened to the me that stepped
unafraid before you
to tell you of my passions
to tell you what part you had to play in them
and what part I wanted to play in yours
what happened to that man that now stands like an imprint
in the sand,
the stage curtains crumpled dusty in the dark
questioning if what i was doing was right
where impetuous, impulsive and all action
died.
love wins.
respond to hate with love. more love than you ever thought you could fathom. respond to ugly with beauty. respond to darkness with light. be luminous. be loving. forgive and forgive and never stop. take the high road. have the best possible expectations of everyone you meet. be incredibly optimistic. hope for the best and expect the best. take the worst and give it to God.
Your day today…
… has already been full of blessings from God.
Did you notice them?
