You are the song that spawns my heartache
You are the whisper in my dreams
When I flail and fall away
You are the one who carries me

The Center
Composed 4/8/15
Description: For Day 8 of NaPoWriMo. Interestingly, this is also my 200th poem! Wow! I never thought when I started this blog that it would inspire SO MUCH writing, but it really has! Hope you enjoy this special milestone poem, which, unsurprisingly, prominently features rain. (You know what I’m talking about, Midwest!) Seriously, though, I love the rain, especially because… well, you’ll see.
You may deny it with your dying breath
But you have heard God’s voice
He commands with every thunderclap
An authority that silences, humbles, and awes
He is the pitter-patter of rain on the windowsill
That comforts and lulls
The wind that howls and whispers
To refresh or to chill
How can you not believe?
When faced with nature’s power
For life
For death
How can you not feel small?
In someplace you know
He’s the center
The voice of it all
Confidant
Composed 3/3/14
Description: I started this in mid-February, but I finished it today. Simply, this is the importance of writing.
The pen my true voice
The page my sole confidant
When I must hide my thoughts from the eyes of the world you remain
To contain my soul in the hearts of trees
And bury my worries in pixel sleeves
You drain the pain of my mind through my fingertips
Without the burden of worry and regret
But you preserve the raw so I won’t forget
The true identity of my soul
The lessons of a life lived
