I would say I love you...but...
I don't want to scare you
(give you the wrong idea), my friend.

So I just smile...
when I see you (think of you)
Just to show you,
the best I know how...I love you.

But so you know,
you are a piece of my sunshine(happiness)
you make my heart smile(overflowing)

I don't like the gushing
we'll not speak of it (tear up about it)
but you'll know...and that's that.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
So unusual...

memory

Oh
I want to forgive --
even more, I seem
to want to forget

And a shifting rhythm
takes me back
to places
I never wanted to be
to things
I never needed

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is most certainly unfinished, unpolished.

here

I've known You
as blessing fell
in rays of sun
in biting rain
I could not see
perfectly misunderstood

still You are here
You've kissed away my tears
bourne my insults
all my accusations
held my hand
chased me down

I will not give way
until You bless me
right
here

I will not walk away the same
I do not care

Earth Day = Funsies

I love Earth Day. We (Nate, Lauren, Jeremy, Becka and I) had a fun picnic complete with sandwiches, fruit, chips, hummus and smoothies. We hung out under a couple of big trees in the shade and watched Dakota run around. I've decided there are some fun things we should plan for next year.

- I want a t-shirt that says "Hug a tree, it's Earth Day!"
- We can bring a frisbee to toss around.
- Tree climbing! :)
- Tree planting! One or two or three...
- A picnic basket...a big one.
- Crafts that involve recycling old stuff.
- Pictures...we did that this year too, but they're still a requirement.
- Etc. Because most everything follows these types of things.

Of course, you should avoid littering and recycle every day...Earth Day is the day you celebrate doing those things! Hooray for God's creation!

I have found
that the sky is not always
crystalclearprettyblue
and at night
the stars don't always show

One sense fails & others flounder
Clouds come and clouds go
questiondoubtfeelings
clarity is
fleeting and unreliable

grown up?
growing confusion

Who knows?
He knows

I hide behind the clouds
?
