Door

The difference between a crack and a lock is that one was never meant to be opened by anyone...

Unbelief

I had never tried to tell an angel that I don't believe in God until I met you. 

Too Soon

Why must you interrupt a good spell of loneliness
Aren't there others you wish to play with?

Stronger

You said this would make me stronger.
Stronger feels weaker at first.
Stronger feels tiring.
Stronger feels painful.

Yet you have done something with this pain...and I am finally stronger.

Hidden

You are holding me.
You have kept me afloat. 
I swear I drowned last summer.
I swear I could not come up for air. 

But You found me, and You sat with me. 
You sat with me until Your air was my air. 
And there is something new,
Something quite beautiful in my hands.

I have discovered a new treasure,
and I am surprised it was hidden so deep within me. 

--ward

One step forward, one step backward. 
Two steps forward, one step backward.
Three steps forward, one step backward. 
Four steps forward, one step backward. 

You have always been my one step backward, and I am tired of falling behind. 
So, today a took a step forward. 
And I never took a step backward. 

For the first time, I didn't take a step backward.

Crescent


My innocence and your guilt could light a fire beneath any moon.
It wouldn't have to be full to light a spark.
