    My Raconteur

    For you & For the love of good words….

    You could tell me a tale that makes my heart open,
    You could sing a song that makes me forget what was broken.
    You could paint me a picture that breaks down its wall,
    You could write me a chapter that makes my heart fall…

    There are so many ways to talk to a soul.
    For a story is feelings that can make a heart bold
    And words should be love and your love could be words.
    So show me your words and I’ll make you feel heard.

    Promise me good ones and I’ll promise you mine.
    I’ve been saving my best ones
    for God’s perfect time.

  • Moments

    I can not lose

    Poor loser?

    Perhaps….


    So sometimes I wait,
    A perfect moment may come?


    Perfect Moment…

    So then I hurry
    Faster
    What if I waited too long
    So then I run
    Quickly I go
    Feeling behind
    A perfect moment may come?

    Perfect Moment…

    But what is this

    Perfect?

    What about
    Now or never
    Fight or flight
    Get it done

    Don’t forget
    Take your time

    Stop Go
    Hurry up
    Wait

    What is this

    Do it all by yourself?

    Every choice
    Every hope
    Every move
    Every fear

    Control Freak?

    Perhaps.

    But then
    A light
    Dawns
    The sun comes up
    To shine on my face


    It always does.


    No hurry
    No wait
    Right on time

    And then I know
    I am not that powerful
    To lose
    What is mine

    To lose a perfect moment
    Because
    I remember who is
    Powerful.

    I remember.

    I just sit in the light and I remember

    That

    The sun still arrives

    The perfect moment is here

    The light shines in this darkness

    In this Perfect Moment of light and reckoning


    I will not lose

    Not today

    Not tomorrow

    I can not lose

    I can only be
    Me

    Fearfully, wonderfully

    Me
