Eternal Possibility

Posted on by

I searched so long for you,
that when you appeared it was almost too much.

Now what?
What lines will we cross?
Which boundaries will crumble?
Or more accurately, whose?
And how many borders will we conquer?

Heaven knows
the Spirit has no concept of lines
or boundaries.
And borders?
The Infinite is, INFINITE,
so there is no such thing.

I am grateful
that I didn’t think,
too long, or maybe at all.

And didn’t say,
“I want another color,
someone younger,
closer,
more this,
and less that.”
I accepted you as you were,
with open heart and hands.

But you crossed lines I drew around myself
and broke down boundaries anyway.
You vaulted over borders
I thought were my fate!

I no longer search for you,
but you are still almost too much
for my mind to conceive.

And so may its lines,
boundaries,
and borders
continue to be pushed back
so far into the past,
that though we remember,
we forget their meaning
in love and gratitude.

Until the new mind is a landscape
of eternal possibility
that only the Spirit understands!

1. You are my ray of sunshine
In all the storms of life.
You are the silver lining
In each cloud passing by.
You are the bless’ed rainbow,
The promise that will heal.
You are the love that conquers because
You are the real deal.
Refrain:

2. You are my inspiration
When thoughts are running dry.
You are the peace and comfort
That hold me when I cry.
You are the sweetest blessing
This world cannot supply.
You are the love that’s giving because
You are the real deal.
Refrain:

3. You are the best of lyrics
And music that I sing.
You are the breath within me,
My All and Everything.
You are the Summer, Autumn,
The Winter and the Spring.
You are the love eternal because
You are the real deal.
Refrain: (Twice)

You are the real deal (2x).

Refrain:
You are the real deal,
The spark of love inside, no matter what I think or feel.
You’re the light that brightens every deep and dark ordeal, ’cause
You are the real deal.

Riddle

Posted on by

What’s straight as an arrow and spins like a web?
What makes you so hungry while keeping you fed,
Awakens you softly to toss in your bed;
Though much has been written, so little is said…

What helps you to fly while it’s holding you close?
What asks you for nothing and gives you the most,
And sings you a song no one ever composed;
We try to explain it, but nobody knows…

What gives you the world as the world falls away?
What longs for the night as it brightens each day,
Erasing the words as it writes a new page;
We speak and we sing, but the mind cannot say…

What’s fluffy as clouds and as steady as rock?
What door can be open with no key or knock?
What frees as it binds with the strongest of knots?
Your love is the answer the question forgot.

Unveiling

Posted on by

I touched the veil with fingertips; beyond my reach
a dreamscape of wishes and desires.
It parted just enough
to tease me with endless possibility.

But like a door slammed on my hand,
the veil closed with a final bang,
as if nailed tighter than a coffin
of dreams laid to rest before their time.

But I awoke one day, the sun on my face!
No veil, no coffin.
But life! Life! Life!

And the glimpse became a landscape
of blissful reality
unveiled in the Light of your Love!

1. She might play the ukulele.
He might be a Navy man.
They’re not who you’d look to see,
But in your heart you understand.
Refrain:

2. She knows all her jagged pieces.
He remembers his mistakes.
Love restores and heartache ceases,
Washed away as healing breaks.
Refrain:

3. Watch these angels knowing, loving,
Finding peace in Him today.
Here on earth as in His heaven,
Praising God who lights the way.
Refrain: (Twice)

Living, learning in this world,
Give your angel heart to God.

Refrain:
Not all angels play the harp
And wear a halo and a robe.
Living, learning in this world,
Angels give their hearts to God.

Love Alone Is Real

And now abide faith, hope, and love, these three. But the greatest of these is love.*

1. Faith is the stuff of things that you want,
But right now you cannot see.
And faith is the seed that lets you believe
When you ask you will receive.
But whoever would say you only need faith
Is just giving you part of the deal.

Refrain:
The angels rejoice at hearing the voice
Of our Father ever near.
Our God above is a God of love,
Because love alone is real.

2. Hope is the spark that lights up the dark
As it kindles in your soul.
And hope is the thing with feathers that sings,**
And it never stops at all.**
But whoever would say that hope is the Way
Is just giving you part of the deal.
Refrain:

3. Love isn’t blind. It chooses to find
What is good and leave the rest.
And love isn’t dumb. It lets you become
All you could to be your best.
And whoever would say that love’s a cliche
Is just giving you part of the deal.
Refrain: (Twice)

Love alone is real (2x).

* 1 Cor. 13:13 (NASB)

** Paraphrase from
Emily Dickinson.

1. God put my heart into your hands.
It was a little shattered; it needed tender care.
He touched me through your Spirit and helped me understand
That love is real and hearts can heal
With every burden shared.

You give me hope and comfort, reminding me to pray.
Our lives are intertwined, and He knew it from the start.
In Him we soar forevermore
On wings of love and faith.

3. God put my heart into your soul.
In you I found the passion to light the flame of care.
He touched me through your Spirit and made me pure and whole
‘Cause love is real and hearts can heal
With every breath we share.

God bless you.

Refrain:
God bless the ones who love the broken ones!
The ones who pick the pieces up and see you whole and strong.
God bless the ones who love the broken ones!
And God bless you.

Life Is Too Short (Nana’s Song)

Posted on by

In loving memory of Nana, who knew all about flowers–and about life.

Refrain:
[‘Cause] life is too short
Not to smell the wildflowers.
And it’s too short
Not to do a little dance.
Life is too short
Not to cherish every hour.
And it’s too short
Not to love when God gives you the chance.

1. Life is for the living,
No matter who you are.
So smell the fragrant flowers,
And let the living start.
Refrain:

2. Life is for the dancing,
Like breezes through the trees.
So dance a little rhythm,
And set your Spirit free.
Refrain:

3. Life is for the loving,
The greatest gift of all.
So open up your heart,
And never be afraid to fall.
Refrain:

Life is too short
Not to love when God gives you the chance.
Life is too short,
So love when God gives you the chance.

Minute of Life

Today is but a window seen
By eyes so green-
Or sadly sore
From all they bore.

And yesterday? A window bare.
Do not despair.
We can’t return;
Don’t let it burn.

Tomorrow is a window bright!
Unfiltered Light
Ignites the way-
So seize the day!
