Sitting here One can count stars in the sky Sitting here beneath this inexplicable beauty My mind starts to think Suddenly the pain felt isn't so overwhelming No , there's no night too dark, That will dim down the star from illuminating No journey too difficult, where it will not guide us No path too long, Where it's radiance will not lead No soul too lost , That it's beaming light cannot reach No king too small, For that single star to shine upon Bringing all the world to silence Bringing all of heaven and earth yet, to their knees

Lily of Peace
Happy Feast Day! Our Lady of Guadalupe pray for us...... November 17, 2011 Radiant and resplendent the weeping Rose, Seven swords through her heart Seven thousand sorrows Her tears glisten, catching the light she exudes As she places her hand, gently patting her womb Her mantle flows, like a sapphire brook adorned with silver stars, gleaming, glistening in the light The stream of light falling from where ever she is a beaming trail following a comet through the night sky Humble and lowly Simple and meek the meaning of Beautiful Lily of Peace Brilliantly you glow with such Love and delight for all your your children, Immaculate Conception, Our Morning Star, Ark of the Covenant Star of the Sea these salty tears which you weep Let them shower over this weary, restless soul of mine Oh Holy Mother of Our Saviour Watch over me
Twelve foot stained glass windows encase A little girl in an unfamiliar place Mural painted ceilings carry Inscriptions affixed to hymns Unknowingly she carries on her tiny lips In them she has seen where victory lies beyond the meadows of everyday lives Stained glass windows align Our souls... windows into eternity What braids these two together Faith birthed from agony? Is it organ’s sweet song that brings us to our knees the sacrifice, the offering? the heartfelt pleas or joy filled praises? Is it the all encompassing love changing our hearts, Our stumbling feet as we trip upon? Or is it the faith of a child that sees You and me Twelve foot stained glass windows encase A little girl in an unfamiliar place Mural painted ceilings carry Inscriptions affixed to hymns Unknowingly carried on her tiny lips In them she has seen where victory lies beyond the meadows of everyday lives Stained glass windows align Our souls... windows into eternity ...
Change
What is hope if it isn’t creating change What’s a fire if it doesn’t start with a flame What’s a tear if it doesn’t cleanse the hurt eating your soul away What’s a hand if you’re not reaching out to help someone What's a song without music, but words falling off a sheet What’s rain if you can’t run and dance in it What’s storm if thunder isn’t preceded by lightening What’s snow if you can’t make a snow angel and taste it on your tongue, just one time What’s a sunset with no color and light? What’s life without love? Just aimless existence, anything but life What’s a Saviour without anyone to save What’ a challenge if there’s no fight no victory, no triumph No uphill climb No one said it would be easy but faith isn’t about questioning it’s believing... It’s making every second count even when you can’t find time It’s loving til it hurts it’s forgiveness and mercy it’s in saying that one word it’s getti...
there’s a deafening silence so loud I can’t hear myself think echoing down these empty hallways the blank white covers walls of memories When pain becomes so familiar It’s forever knocking at your door loneliness has become your best company See there once was a story unfolding like footprints covered by the ocean’s tide beneath it time kept flowing but never seen on either side This silence can get so loud It’s enough to drive a crazy man wild memories can seem so alive this life in the past can make you blind When your favorite guest is an empty chair best listener a ghost you don’t even know is there It’s like an open wound that won’t stop bleeding time drowned out by bloody despair because when the sun comes up at three am you find comfort costumed as agony the best harmonies are heard in the sound of tears you’ve cried Let hope becomes the song's reprise See there once was a story unfolding like footprints covered by the ocea...
