Starboard at Starlight.

A small ship is set in the sea..
There's seems to be no movement...
The anchor holds steadfast.

The winds are slow and steady..
The breeze is blowing comfortably...
The scene peaceful and still.

A lone sailor sits at starboard..
The horizon shines in his tired eyes...
Ever-patient, he sits waiting.

His Siren one day may come..
To Her song he finds himself addicted...
But without warning, she left.

He believes in his adventure..
As does the village where he came from...
Their faith may be misplaced.

He is the same but changed..
Stronger now to withhold these waves...
Like the Siren that swims away.

A sailor dies on the deck tonight..
With the waves, the buoys wave farewell...
How long did he wait?

As his spirit fades away at dusk..
He finds her song indirectly on the waves...
Can he grasp back to his body?

Dusk now turns against daylight..
The moon illuminates this sorrow scene...
They may only have till Midnight.

Do we rely now on the Lighthouse..
Did he need more light on the bow to find her...
There was no damage to the wale.

Starlight finds us waiting..
To see his body lying in the dawn...
Ever-patient now the Siren?

But the waves will always pound..
The ship hull moves and tosses about...
But the anchor holds steadfast.

Striving for a Star.

I've seen planets divide

Shooting stars that collide

And places where men have not seen.

I've seen galaxies folding

And black holes closing

But I never can seem to get clean.

Because I want to be shown

Where angels cannot roam

I've given up labor for flavor and lust.

Surpassing what makes people die.

When confused if Life's worth the try.

I've lost all intentions to find someone to trust...

But as time passes on

And the old worlds have gone,

And all these new stars appear;

You can go on forever

Holding my heart as your treasure

Standing guard against all that you fear.

Because I can't explain why,

No matter the manner I try,

The feeling cuts through my heart like a knife,

And no matter how you may cause me pain,

Somehow this fact will still remain,

That I will love you the rest of my life.

So whether we only stay friends

Or together in Life's how we end,

I promise I'm nothing for you to fear...

No matter the pain you may cause,

I know that you have flaws,

So know that I'll always be near.

And I really want you to know,

No matter which way Life may go

I'll never forget how you look, sound, and feel

For the bright colors you've made,

In my life full of grey shade,

Creates a perfect picture that's always real..

Benediction.

Dear My God,
May I always remember You in times like these.
You pick me up every. single. time.
May I never think that I can solve all with ease.
Your forgiveness is. pure. strength.
May I never have to break to call out Your name.
Your grace is something I. cant. grasp.
May my sins remind me that I am the one to blame.
Your mercy renders the. entire. universe.
May I be equipped in You when in time of attack.
Your holiness brings me to. my. knees.
May Your Light and the angels not turn their back.
Your presence alone would absorb. my soul.
May Your forgiveness be my unyielding addiction.
Your spoken Name creates. and. destroys.
May these truths been seen as my unworthy benediction.
Your love for me I don't understand. or. grasp.
Dear My Lord,
Never let me forget Your power.
Never let me forget Your glory.
Never let me forget Your honor.
Never let me forget Your story.

Let a single drop, I pray,
Of Your Son's blood, today,
Strike my head and trickle down
My filth struck body, but before the ground,
May I swipe it up to touch another
To spread Your story, before I am put under.

Amen.

Why She Sings

Young girl,
Why do you sing?
Little darling,
Why is it sadness that you bring?
You sing a sad song,
The melody tells of love gone wrong.
Young girl,
Why do you sing?

Precious daughter,
Your song has no reply...
Fairest lady,
Let the tears fall from your eyes...
Just give it a bit of time,
Your chorus matches that of mine.
Young girl,
Why do you sing?

Lovely bella,
Why are you sad?
Fallen angel,
Be happy for the love you had.
Your sorrow will not last,
This broken feeling, I just got past.
Young girl,
Why do you sing?

Why do you sing?
Why do you sing?
There's a harmony that's playing-
That makes Fall seem like Spring.
There's a million hearts exploding-
Making birds take to their wings!
So, oh young girl,
Why is there this sad song that you sing?

This song you sing to me,
I've heard it once before...
'cause I've been heartbroken
And, of that, I am sure.
But I, like this past time,
And my past, so unpure,
Let Time take control
Of the heartache that is yours.

Crying blue eyes,
You'll find other lovers.
Anxious friend,
Take the weight o' the world off your shoulders.
You have strength, let it show
Feel the relief of letting him go.
Young girl,
There is no need to sing.

Young girl,
Is that a new song that you sing?
Have you, like me,
Clipped off painful wings?
Have you taken up Time
To realize unwanted things?
Letting go has become easier than it seemed.

So let the attributes of those we let fly,
Go on their own flightlesss way,
And for some reason why,
Let not our hearts
Sever up those ties
So that all the tears
That we, no doubt, will cry
Be not those of sadness,
But of love that has died,
That will come back to us,
Whether in truth or in try,
To stay with us our days
And continue on after we die.

Your song now is beautiful.
May I hear it again?
The sweet melody of your voice
Melts me down from within...
Your chorus is perfect
Like it, I've never heard
There's new life and new joy
Birthing from every word.
Young girl,
With her chime, rhyme, and ring
It's now easy to see
Why it is that she sings.
