HEART OUT

You are the one I think of when I am blank
When I am happy you are the one I call
I think of you when I am sad
I pour it all on you
And I feel it is all right
I call you when I reach a problem's dead end
Together we find a way to move to the other side of the wall
With you I feel like the lake Galilee
When Jesus was calming the storm
You are my rain maker
You make me feel hope
You are the cloud that causes my worst storms
When I know that I am the reason you are shedding tears
I feel so comfortable beside you
I can sing off key
But it is all right because I wont be judged
I can talk and talk
Be sure that I will be heard
I can keep the quiet of a grave
And not be scared that it will be heard wrong
Yes I can be headstrong
Then we will fight and make peace
I can be fearful when you are scared
And we will curdle together
I can hope when you have lost hope
And you can hope when I have lost mine
For that is how we become better
You are beautiful to my eyes and heart
And I am so proud of you
You are a million things I love
Just give me one reason
Why we are just friends

WHEN WORDS WOULDN'T SPEAK

When words have nothing to say But the heart is full What would speak for you? What would speak to you? When the quiet of a heart And the sound of a meldy Would resonate with your truth That words could never say When you have to quietly shout to the world Silenltly tell your story What would speak to you? What would talk to you? When the chrip of birds And the rumbling of a waterfall Would not speak to you When quiet would not do What would speak to you? What would talk for you? What would authentically tell the world your story Authentically Not hiding a single note of the rhythm of your heart What would tell the world your desire Your fears and terror What would speak to you? What would speak for you? An old melody That holds a memory A sound that holds a longing That knows the notes of your heart Would that speak for you? Would it speak to you?

THE PARADOX

The fact that the reason to hold on is bigger than the reason to give up Does not trivialize your pain The fact that you neither shed a tear nor made a sound Does not mean you never cried The fact that you smiled all through the ceremony does not mean you were happy The fact that you are alive and happy Does not mean you aren't dead A strange ghost animating your body Not your dream self The fact you woke up with a plan Does not mean you aren't drifting through life The fact that you love a song Does not mean it makes you happy The fact that you woke when the alternative seemed lucrative Tells that you have outsmarted the paradox once more
