I love to dance

 

I once was a little girl that believed in things magical

Music and dance was my song of life

Then I became a bitter woman

Wrestling with life to give her what she deserved

But not knowing what that was

 

Now I am changed again to the simplicity of a child

Seeking new things

I want boundless things

I want the things that connect me to life’s streams;

Where light meets darkness.

I want to be where things begin

Eternal Joy

My joy in him is eternal

My place of hope

Where my hurts are kissed

How wonderful is your love to one hurt and bruised as I am

 

My joy in him is eternal

You remembered me before you knitted me in my mother’s womb;

What a beautiful choice that was too

 

My joy in him is eternal

As he planted me where I would flourish to his glory

Idonai you are my joy

My joy in you is eternal as we explore who I AM

Tell me of that love

Tell me of that love

The kind of love that story books tell

The kind of love that had Samson tear down a house when it was betrayed

The kind that has a man set himself on fire rather live a single moment without it

Tell me of the kind that has a mother turning herself to a human shield rather than her child be harmed

The kind of love that has a stranger rather lose his life to protect a stranger

Tell me of the love that has a man sacrifice his family to save the world

Tell me of the fearless love that sees beyond the Self

Sees past war, hate, anger, bitterness, disappointment

Tell me of the love that just is……

Woman of Destiny

Woman of destiny rise up
Rise up to the purpose that God has called in you

Woman of destiny I know you are challenged.
The World does not love beautiful things, because beautiful is what you are
I tell you this; there is none like you on this whole earth.
Your father broke the mould when he made you.
That is why you could never find another Esther, Ruth, Mary once they were made.
God made them in the throes of passion, just like you

So woman of destiny rise and claim the kingdom God placed in your heart
Beautiful sister of God, your Father has nothing but abundance in store for you
Don’t let world insecurities make you small.
People will change their opinions of you as easily as the price of bread changes.
Don’t let that be your currency.

Ponderings

I sit here wondering about the depths of my brokenness
I ponder how deep the bitterness grows
I wonder as I peel back layer by layer
Why I never knew how broken hearted I am.
I wonder how all this time I smiled and said ‘I’m okay, I’m good’

Right here, right now
I don’t feel ok
I feel this great hunger gnawing at my gut and I wonder,
What is this emptiness that clouds my soul
Where do these tears flowing through my heart come from
As they mix and mix with the hunger gnawing at my gut
I cry mournfully because I never quiet realised that you left me with a broken heart focused as I was at being strong…..

So now I sit wondering how I will overcome the bitterness, anger and hurt.
My heart cries: ‘I didn’t deserve this!’
And my responds ‘who did’
That’s life isn’t it?
So I sit quietly waiting for that moment when my sunshine will break-through
And my heart can say ‘all is well’

My Body

Limbs, curves and dips
That is the sum of things well made
It rumbles, sways and twirls
Oh you should see it when
It dances

Total perfection it is not
But oh you should see it when it dances
You gotta love how it manages to stay up straight especially when the D’s start throwing their weight around.
I won’t even mention the war they are raging with gravity.

Limbs, curves and dips
That is the sum of things well-made
I wish I could say the thighs are made of steel but then that would be a lie.
Oh and that silly competition they always have to see who can irritate the other more chaffs my temper to no end.

Limbs, curves and dips
That is the sum of all things I love
It rumbles, sways and twirls
Oh you should see it when it dances
As light as light can be
Limbs, curves and dips
That is the sum of things well made

Dreams Forgotten

I walk a path
A path long forgotten
I walk searching for a dream long lost
A dream that used to speak of such a sharp destiny that those walking beside me could never look in my eyes
I search a dream that beat like a thousand drums on a mountain top
I slip I fall, grasping
Searching in the darkness
Where is my dream?

That dream was mine
It spoke of all the generations that came before me
It told me that you are woman
Fierce
It told me that you are warrior
Fearless
It told me that you are Queen
Graceful

Echos echos echos
My dream screams in eternity
I’m here
Come to me
Let it all go, find me

I walk back and hope exhales
You here
Sunshine melts my crown
I walk into a path
I’m here
I’m here

Meet Me Out in the Sunshine

Meet me out in the sunshine where cobwebs of the past don’t exist

Meet me….where dreams are still possible

Meet me out…where hearts are still whole and happiness is still possible

 

I want you to meet me in the sunshine because I want a new day to start

Where you could smile and be happy about the future no matter how impossible

Meet me out in the sunshine where my love sits

Meet me in the sunshine where our love still has a chance to grow. 

 

Why hang to what didn’t work

Shadows and darkness have no place in sunshine.

Call me a dreamer but I believe we can make it work

My father always said I was a strange child because I believed in rainbows and unicorns

 

Meet me out in the sunshine where I’m still holding your hand and hoping you will hold mine back and praying you will give us this chance
