I Dreamt I Was Catching Fish Last Night
I dreamt I was catching fish last night. The sea was flat as my once white sheets, Stars hung like lanterns, cold and watching. I cast once. The line sang. The pull came sure. It bent the rod like a prayer. The fish didn’t fight. It came easy. Too easy. It stared with human eyes. I cleaned it on the shore. Its blood was warm. It smelled like iron...

Catching Constellations Like Fireflies
If I could catch the stars in a mason jar would it be enough to prove myself? I don't want to be here anymore. I want to be up in space where all of the fireflies reside. They don't care if I'm not good enough. ...

Your wish come true If you come back And truly love. It's worth the wait If you believe That love can wait. Hope not in vain If you pursue And not give up. Eyes on the road Keep wheel on hand Pursue your dream....

Catching My Heart
I’ve lost my heart among the woods, Where now it flutters in the drafts And moves about close secrets kept Within the floras’ whispered breath. I know because there glimpses break Between the bark-skinned living things, Where there it flows from one to next In jubilant discovery. I feel it yet, though standing yon, Of how the boughs absorb the sun Among the shafted beams...

catching my breath
breathing became easy I saw in me the calm steady moments that caused beautiful dreams to come alive captivated by clever banter, falling deeper in lover with the wonder of curiosity breathing became easy like the days passing calm, and steady like the air that filled the light rooms I passed through ...

My Lord Jesus, You mean Everything to me from Sea to Shining
O My beloved Lord Jesus, You mean everything to me From sea to shining sea, To my beloved homeland, that waves the Star spangled Banner, our American flag, Sometimes it's called 'Old Glory!' And My Lord, I pray it's already Not too late, to redeem the United States, especially my very own state. 'Washington my home Whenever I (did) roam' The beloved land of the tall and...

Catching Feelings
I never understood why people said they “caught feelings”. That didn’t make any sense. How can you catch feelings? You can catch a cold or the flu, but feelings? It’s not a sickness. But then I caught feelings, and it all made sense. Feelings are a sickness. They mess with your head, making you unable to think straight. They make you...
