The ways we make our ways...


Snow brings a clear headspace
Like a white canvas to paint
On in thoughts with God on love on life
On matters of the heart on these nights
While last turns before a retreat to the hut, only to rest
Living life and breathing with God like it’s my last breath

I make my way seeking out space for thought, this place I know is right
From plank to plank slicing through the snow and ice
Star after star appearing in the night sky
They say nothing but give off lot's of advice
They shine saying don't think just flow because it feels right
Because if she radiates light like us, it just might be worth the fight
I thought about him just playing it before I play it out
But then I wouldn’t learn what this life is about
I would rather invest my time anyways if it’s all for nothing
That’s what makes it, you see is trusting
Even with the possibility of lost love and lost time
It’s never wasted because it was never mine
It was worth spending if only to give and borrow each others sunshine


I look to the sky it always has something to say
Like an open book, or this open snow covered mountain range
They are alive with words of wisdom
Characteristics of God speaking out loud and full of vision
When we are in silent places
All the distractions of life it erases
That's when God's voice becomes a megaphone
You no longer feel alone
He becomes real to the touch
Like a real father in flesh and blood
He speaks to me about life and love
He reaches out to me from the heavens above
If only to say I love you
I’ll answer with I love you too
He’s always there every second
Every thought, dream, and word spoken, he’s paying attention
If I really stop to think, I’m just a guy
And love I men real love stands constant at my side
Lord be my every breath
My every step
Be in my work and in my rest
Help me remember to always give you my best
My love and my trust
For you are Love
God is Love
And Love is God

Determine my step…

Begin with a groggy opening of the eyes

Much like yesterday time seems to fly

What is it time wants with me? I’ll never know

I will never Realize how precious it really is and where it goes

No matters how I try to see it each moment unique like a flake of snow

I break the ice that glues the door to the truck

Tunes playing, I’m thinking already and still at that

As if sleep and dreams where not enough to take care of those thoughts

A big decision before me a door open at the moment ahead of me

I take it and run and leave the rest for now outside on the welcome matt

My wants’ my hopes my dreams and a vacant stash of hats

I wore them all at one time, making out the man I want to be

One experience at a time one dream and yet a large fee

Worth the pay we have yet to see

These honest paydays give me time to ponder and seek

The answer, and time to stair at these feet

They are you hands they are your feet

I have not an answer yet

I have these papers in hand I know no matter what

It’s what I do with it, like really move with it the experience knowledge and tests

That will determine weather it is worth it

Or not

Determine my steps

Make them yours and bring me back

Again and again to your path

You give me my strength and replace each breath

Oh Lord determine my step….

Taking God out for Coffee

Lord speak to these things

All of it to you I bring

Your hand creates your hand takes

When I move from space to space

Keep my heart in the same place

With no desire’s

But after the passions you’ve inspired

I don’t just owe it all to you

I am no longer unworthy no longer used

For I am bought and paid for with truth

With blood as the proof

Be my guide on the mountain and in my life

Lord break my habits and show me right

Lead me along her path or close the door

Yeah Lord I wont be wanting more

You know me best we know us less

Lord bring me to my knees test my trust

My heart seeks a blessing lord

Even before I pursue and persist

Without a fathers approval or yes

I can not even begin to seek out a hearts best

Lord I think I’ve seen your best

I’ve found your Gem, your perfect ten

and I don’t know how I know that yet

So Lord I seek you out to be blessed

A blessing a no or a yes….

amen

khush your probably the only one to read this, I thought it would make you smile :)

I wasn't sure at first but some things should be shared to inspire others even if it is personal.

thank you for our friendship and constant encouragment :)

When it flows from the heart it pores from the heart.

December

I met the girl who invented the smile

or God used to perfect it's style

I can't say I know her yet

If I was to speak truth to it

But i'll try to know her yet

i can't settle for anything less

she don't need the best dress

or my best tux my best vest

secure in who she is

she moves with intention and with grace

causing me the need to check pace

on my advancements and my now challenged thoughts on fate

I believe now to have scratched the knowing of what perfection is

believe me or not

imperfection is perfect for us all

living to make pictures for our walls

drawings for our history to remind us at the end of a trip or a fall

that in the end we get to begin it all ounce more

isn't that what it's all about

new beginnings same folk

old smiles new jokes

If I could have seen your smile tonight

I hope you smiled tonight

I might have never needed another night

i'll spend it wisely trying to fight from breaking out one of my own

just thinking of you at home alone

that smile reaching out across the country to light the beginning of my day

mixed in with the suns rays
