What the Mirror Can't See

Peace at last
There is still hope when I cannot recognize who appears in the mirror
Then I can conclude that there is more to me than meets the eye
Then I can conclude that the most distinctive part of me cannot be known by mere physical sight
Many can only panic in the same situation because they know of nothing else other than what their senses say
The mirror does not have the ability to reflect the spirit that cannot be contained in this body
This laughter contains much more than the simple tone and pitch variation identified by the ears
The discovery of your existence outside of the common realm… the knowledge that here & now are insignificant to the there & then.
I choose to come alive again and that means to die to what you see and live in what God’s given me
Lucky that the mirror doesn’t reflect my reality, instead it’s all just a decoy, a distraction for us
But it makes me smile because now I’m wise enough to see right through what the mirror shows me
I look down and notice that I’m holding my heart in my hands; it’s nice to finally feel it beat again…

The Insanity I Love

Today God, we moved mountains and then ground them to dust
I was overtaken, elevated, and rejuvenated
A step was taken forward and there will be none taken back
You took me beyond my flesh so far that I didn’t exist
I was consumed, every nook and cranny
My mind tries to make sense of it but instead I laugh because there’s no sense to be made
Not because it didn’t happen but because my mind was not permitted to go where you took my heart
That place… there is nothing like it
My life is dedicated to going and staying there because that’s my peace
Not the kind of peace that makes you sleep and snore
But the peace that makes you jump and run
I am so much of nothing without you
Just a void that allowed everything to dwell in me
But now I’ve been filled to the very tip top
Now nothing else has room to enter
You wanted me and now you have me
For some reason that sounds like you’re the one who is gaining something
But no… I’m the one who has been given the privilege to breathe real breath
My heart screams for you so much that my mouth can’t keep up
Lucky me that the words from my lips are not what you listen to
Thank you for being who you are
I mean that with everything I have, yet it still seems so futile
I don’t know what to say so I’ll close my mouth and just let my heart speak
Bless you Lord, my one and only God, THE one and only God

Is it possible?

Another breath you’ve given me
What kind of person would I be if I didn’t use it to praise you?
Lord, I heard & read of your goodness expecting so much
But after seeing & experiencing it myself, I see I didn’t expect enough
I claim nothing good of this world
I declare here & now it all belongs to you
Use me in any & every way you will because if I’m not living to glorify you, I’m not living at all
Guide me so every word, thought, & movement are seen as good in your eyes
When I lose focus or step off the path, do what is needed to get me back on track, no matter the cost
No amount of instant gratification is worth taking a step back after you’ve brought me this far
I ask that you give all my brothers & sisters the opportunity to feel & love you the way I do
Take away the boring, dull, rebellious veil that blinds from the rewarding, love-filled, beautiful life you have waiting
Usher them to the other side where we are all excited to meet them
Forgive the times I’ve broken your heart by breaking my promises
I know I don’t deserve it but that’s never stopped you from taking me back
I let it all go because when I really think about it, I have nothing to let go
Fill this empty hole that has been throbbing all my days
I see others cry, laugh, smile, even lose control because they have you
I want that too, I want you too, take me too!
I barely know anything of you but I miss you
Sometime, somewhere we must have met before
Can we go back? Can I ever make it that high again?
I’m no longer afraid to try
I’m ready!!!!!!! I AM READY!!!!!!!!!!

Wake Up!

Time to wake up, you need to move
Why are you sleeping on the things you were once so eager to prove
Still targets are not hard to miss
The snake moves closer with his devious hiss
Trouble is fast on its way
And it’s headed straight for the spot in which you lay
You’ve become too comfortable on this plane
You know, but take for granted the night I was slain
These blessing here and now are just for here and now
Those around the corner are far greater, this I vow
I’m not pleased with Christians who’ve gone stale
I put fire in you that you may be the head, not the tail
Your lids grow heavy and your breath is slowing
All the while, His influence is growing
The armor you were given no longer shines
And now when we speak, all I hear are your whines
What happened to the warrior who was so willing to fight
It seems you’ve been seduced by his disarming light
Wake up little soldier for the day draws near
What will be your fate when it’s my voice you hear?
