If only

If only we could see clearly,
hear distinctly,
know completely..
if only we could love
grace
and forgive,
beyond our own human ability
if only we could throw off our imperfections,
our fears
and our anxieties.
if only...
yet grace assures us
that it is in our brokeness
and through our weaknesses
that the light of God
shines hope
into a hurt and broken world.
We offer the world this grace,
his grace,
the grace in the deserts and the wildernesses
his strength that finds us in our darkest valleys.
What we offer
is not our victories
but his.

Trust

trust.
hope.
faith.
doubt.
fear.
my heart beats to a human rhythm.
my breaths,
sometimes unsettled
sometimes fearful
my mind,
will often fight
all that I so long to
believe,
my will fails
and I fall back to earth
mortal,
a man.
I have no wings,
I cannot soar,
but hope still whispers
to my dulled ears
and in the middle of my night,
I can still long for the day

Love

Love
Not a feeling,
Nor a song,
Love...
A force
Of unstoppable goodness,
A compassion
That strips away
Every exclusion,
And replaces
Every shouldn't
With
Should.
Love,
The denial of self
For the ultimate good
Of another,
Whether friend
Or enemy,
Love
Overwhelms
Someone else's
Heart
And ennobles
The lives of
The lover
And the
Loved.

Dream

Dream...
That every word,
Every promise
Was a truth waiting to be revealed
In you
In me.
Dream,
That there was more,
Not less,
That there was a future
Overflowing with hope,
Not taunting you
With fear,
and disappointment.
One day
Our dreams
Will be interrupted
By wakefulness,
And we will live,
And love
In His reality.
That day comes.
