Thunder

(wrote this about a month ago, and now theres a thunderstorm outside, so i guess its fitting.)

welcome to the world of my hurricane
im insane, i know that
welcome to the storm that i've made here
im the creator, i see that
and if you cant dance in tornadoes
laugh as the flames grow, id understand
but i am the voice of the thunder
its speaking, i hear it.

to be awake

God doesn't magically impart us with understanding and revelation. He teaches it to us. I could spend my whole life praying for my eyes to see the way He sees, but i would never simply wake up with this great wisdom. It takes pain and it takes love.

A kind of pain and love that rips through your life like a hurricane. A kind that leaves nothing still standing, and nothing the same. And when I am broken, beaten, tired, weak, and humbled, then maybe one morning i could wake up and see a light shining in i hadn't seen before. A light so much brighter and so much more beautiful than could ever have been simply explained to me. i would fall on my knees and thank God for every single scar i have.

because i would know Love, and love.

lights

I've been reminded how much I miss southern California. For reasons unexplainable by words and indescribable by sight.

when all is done.

i hope you smile and mean it
i hope you never cry
unless its from the beauty
all the world is passing by
and when your face is full of time
i hope you look back on your life
and all that you remember
is love
