Arrows to the Sky

Arrows to the sky Snow-capped wonders Rise and rise Yet, I often forget How small we are Amidst heaven’s breath As they point majestic steeples  Toward the creator We stand feeble Often unaware We are nothing If not for where They came from The creator of the sea, the sky, the sun All I can do Is stop and stare Take a breathe Know I’m where I was created to be Under the canvas of heaven Small, but loved And simply bring My Heart as a sacrifice of praise To the maker of this day 05/24/26 clc

Fill my Lungs

Fill my lungs  With your breath upon the wind  Inhale Let me clearly see your heart Written on the day In each moment I take part  In the growing of my spirit From your source  One step Then another As I breathe I feel you longing  Me to be More than what this world Tries so hard to make me believe Help me linger Only in truth You bring  I breathe In… Out… Let me see Through eyes  Set free Alive in the spirit You bring With each ray of light The spring’s hopefulness Like newly budding trees Opening flowers Like the colors You inspire Let me see… As I breathe. 05/22/26 clc

Prayer for Help

Singing hallelujah When there’s no voice left to sing  Learning how to praise you When my spirit’s tired and weak Open up my eyes When the darkness is all I see Finding how to stand When I can’t feel my feet  Open my heart When I just want to close it all down Taking in the morning When I just want to go back to bed Spirit’s tired of being tired Is this all up in my head? Wanting to believe you When I shake as if I’m cold Facing this morning I feel so f*cking old Help me be Open Help me see… 05/18/26 clc

“Be still”?

You say “Be still” And I sit here in the silence Feeling alone Wish the fucking quiet Would bring peace But it just allows my thoughts To seethe  I know hope Doesn’t come From a bottle Or a person, those false prophets The social norms Or greedy pockets But mine is spent Trying to relent Wish I could be As solid as others seem Just want a little relief… 05/15/26 clc

When you’re weary

Come When you’re weary Come  Rest your head The days  Seem unending And you’re Surrounded by a dread Tears Have their meaning Tearing down Jericho’s walls You Keep walking And I will make them fall When you turn Ever to me Let your spirit Be set free Into my hands I’ll hold you I understand I love you child I am with you All the while 05/12/26 clc

Where would I be?

Where would I be? Without the saving power Without the sun in early hours Shining on me as if a flower Reaching up  In that breath That whispers soft my name I’ve heard it before Never the same Rising thoughts bring my face To where you are Where would I be? Without you I need you Desperately The heart that proves Life still marches on Like the drummer propels the song Deep and resonant like a gong Beating beneath Where would I be? Yet when I stop I clearly see You remain You are here Every day Where else would I be? 05/02/26 clc

The Way of Peace

Sunrise from on High Above the moon  Across night’s sky Tender mercies  As early morn Arise within us We are reborn To shine Echoing his light Taking each breath Holding tight We let go Exhale the dark Find our spirits Rise, embark Upon this day One step at a time We’re on our way… The Way of Peace. 05/01/26 clc “Because of the tender mercy of our God, With which the Sunrise from on high will visit us, To shine upon those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, To guide our feet into the way of peace.”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭1‬:‭78‬-‭79‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
