Querido

Querido mio
todo bien

el mismo cielo

y sol

Querido mio

todo bien

el susurro de los arboles

y el viento 

My Darling

My darling

It is good

The same sky

and sun

My darling

All is well

The rustling trees

the wind

Pedestal

You put me so high 
on a pedestal 
Said I was reigning  
And convinced me so 
I stalled, then believed 
these words would hold

Then, you knocked me down 
In one quick blow 
Oh how was I to know?
how was I to know?
The love you gave
Would be conditional.

Hope

Jehovah, how you bless me.
Proving always to be my friend!
You never leave me,
but listen for what I need.

You always hold my hand.

Thank you for being consistent
Constant, reliable, and true. 
For giving me something 
I can still hold on to.

the end

there are things
i've held
within the realm
of all my heart can hold;
and in it's 
innocence
i've loved more fiercely
than i've ever known,

but,

i was alone.

the things i adored
the tender ways they held me
& caressed the joys unfolding;
could not do the same
for all the ways
the storms, too, came rolling

and,

i went imploding.

resignation ruled as king
nothing was as it seemed
there was, after all, no queen;
and the kingdom's lights
went out at night,
and were never turned on again

because,

there was an end.

The Extra

Ah, don't mind me

I be but only here

Trying to catch the light

Simply because I'm near

The love he brings forth

How his eyes adore her!

She responds just how he likes

I, too, am rooting for her!
