fire shut up in bones


"...without the question, there is no answer...is the question greater than the answer? you have to question to need an answer..."

gen32 - for the day breaks


alone with you. and me alone with you. with you to be alone with me...i walk these city streets, i feel the breeze...it's cold. the noise of machines, the passers-by; is it you, is it i? how will i know? when will i see? ever will i feel you in me? questions and answers, signs of progress of me in you...will the day break and night end? finding the new, the heart of you, a second coming--release me, forgetting the old.

the dawn awaits.
until that day.
come.

PAINT THE WORLD WITH REDEMPTION SONGS

The chill, the breeze, and the leaves that fall from trees

Everything that is beautiful

Things that draw me near

Open to fear in all of my tears

Dancing under moonlight

Violins sing and the wind blows

Your hair and down your satin gown

Ever so softly, slowly, holding on to me

We begin to take flight, off into the night

Time slows and as a look, I begin to see you glow

Face to face shows grace divine

Remains a mystery

Winding, Twisting, whirling, turning

Everything I am is everything for you.

The hours pass, the music begins to fade

A melting candle, the fire to flame

Will you remember my name?

Can you see through all of my shame?

Who is there to blame?

In silence now, the seas have stilled

One last chance, give me just one glance

Call me home, a place so I can rest

Tell me one more time

Of how we met, of how we fell in love

Of how we’d never leave each other

Of how we’d love

But wait a moment

I can hear the choir singing in baritone

Words I forgot to mention

Words of redemption

The chill, the breeze, and the leaves that fall from trees

Amber lights across the somber skies

Running, laughing, crying, breathing

In you and me

Around there is no sound

The town is drowned as we leave the ground

Behind all that is broken, all that is stolen,

All that is temporary, all and all that means nothing

We come and go, we come and go

Outside I can see the snow falling

And everyone is unique to you

A different name, a different way for me to show you

The love I have for you, my one

A little peace of heaven

A life before mine

A wonder of sign, oh light divine

And now we sleep in love tonight

Forever it seems lying next to you

I never want to leave

You’ll never be alone

For you are my lust

And kiss you I must

The seal of my trust

Two hearts break into one

A union of passion and will and rage

For one and one becomes one

A love that lasts forever

Is you and me together

with new eyes


there are mirrors that a man looks in to see a reflection of himself. there are mirrors that he looks through, yet sees many incomplete. there are even others that hide the known and he sees nothing. a man will stare and gaze until his sight leaves him blind. but maybe when he is blind, then  he can see. maybe when it goes dark, there will be light. then again, is there a mirror that looks into a man to see the reflection of himself?

just ahead of me


in many worlds there are open doors and in many DOORS there are open worlds. some remain and some disappear. others you can't enter through, while others enter through you...although most can see you through. some you guard; some guard you. some you lock; some lock you. doors swing wide, doors swing shut. doors must have handles, but you must handle them. electric, eclectic, left-right, up, down, all the way around...until you're found

who is this man?


who is this man? what is this hand that pulled me from the sand? what is this sound i hear that came from afar, but has now come near? who sings this song that makes me belong? what are these words that i've never heard? how can it be that you have called out to me? could this be the love that comes from above? is this the love that frees us, the one they call Jesus...
