Are We There Yet?

Those destinations our hearts are drawn to, called to
But we haven’t located yet.
Maybe we are already on
The winding path to our place.
Sweet home we will know
On arrival

(20-23 February 2015)

You Are More Than Just Your Pain and Shame.

I am more than this
these feelings
these words in my face
that block my vision
and shroud me in disgrace

I am more than this
Today is the opposite
of what I want my life to be
Today is pain, regret and shame
wrapped up in misery

I am more than this
Today is blindness
and I have no hope to see
The different doors the paths
waiting just there for me

I am more than this
Be my eyes of hope
and see for me today
Remind me there is more out there
For perseverance to pay

I have been told
I am more than this
I will listen
