Christmas 09

Another year has passed us by
in swirl of wind and sparkly sky
As Christmas rings each bell
our hearts a thankful swell
How blessed we've been to share each chime
each turn upon the hands of time
with those we treasure true...
there simply is no better gift than you.

I was moved.

I was sent this video by a friend "knock Knock by Michael Reed James" I can honestly say it moved me, if you have never heard it, believe me, it is well worth the Google.

"this is how I felt after"

I listened and my heart heard
I was filled with your passion in every word
I listened as your heart spoke...
and my heart broke
moved by every line
your story was yours and mine
I listened and I heard you loud and clear
I heard you knock knocking out there.

Silent grip

When everything’s out of control,
there’s one thing silent grips will hold
In shadows only God can see
in crystals of the secrets be
From simple slip to oversight
the evil that comes with the night
and sometimes with the day
from heart to lips they pray...
Let not what is, come morrow know
what makeup cloaks and clothes won’t show
Let hands that fall like lead and stone
befall a fate from you alone
for vengeance God is thine
as sure as pain is time...
Each tick upon this clock of same
that chimes as heart does scream your name
What walls hide Lord you know...
release what clenches so.
