For Rebekah...

She usually floats across the wood,
So gentle and serene.
But tonight it's such a thunderous din,
It really sounds quite mean.

It's never her intent to saunter,
With such thump and womp.
But she's been drinkin', now she's doin',
The four-glasses of wine stomp.

I like Suspense

Love's a game you've folded on, time and time again.
I want to be around you, when you tell love you're all in.

The creator has His work to do, to ready you for the fray.
I danced with you again, and fell a little more today.

But emotions are betraying, if not backed with solid thought.
And you may have made your mind up, about what is, and what is not.

Comparison is the Devils game, the winner is seldom prized.
Content with a checklist's results, is not wisdom realized.

Tonight I'm heavy hearted, because I know I don't compare.
But that's not even half a thought, to a God who is always there.

So I give it up, joyful knowing I can't do it.
I don't have to win, to faithfully pursue it.

It's a good thing I like suspense....

p.s. This isn't all I think of you, and I'm not claiming to be right.
I just had to write this down, so I could sleep tonight.

Embrace

An embrace...who can define it?
It's scope is so wide.
No matter what the context,
It can be deep as the tide.
It can't be contained,
In script or in song.
It's loves handshake,
And friendships belong.
It may be hello,
It may be goodbye.
Needs no explaining.
or reasoning why.
Shoulder to shoulder,
Chest to Chest.
An embrace of a dear,
Is always the best.
.
An embrace is not merely a hug,
It's about with whom you cut lifes rug...
Dance with me?

Longing

Longing is odd, it comes and it goes
Where it finds sticking points, nobody knows
Without direction, longings just ache
But when it finds target, it's coals and a rake
It is reason and purpose, a mantle for dreams
Only airbrushed and candied, not all that it seems
It's not just about what is, it's about what could be
Sometimes its from longing, we long to be free

Pacing

Unsure, troubled
Trying to figure out
What's the source of conflict
But there really is no doubt
That the pacing up and down
Has a source that rings true
And the pacings not for what I don't
But for what I do...
