Every Sunset Is Splendor To Believer's EyesNothing that God created is dull...
harmony is found in clouds, in immense space,
in earthly landscapes, in sunrises that blaze;
if nothing stupefies us, these will!
Every sunset is splendor to believer's eyes,
happy is the mother that holds...

I Saw God, But Now What
Once faithless;
hopelessly trapped
in isolating darkness, I began
searching for God,
and he came to me
in prayer.
He whispers to me...
"Do not be afraid;...

So I choose all life in debt to remain—

Yet, you warm the palette of my life
With your nearly bluebell shades
Layers of sifted sky
Diluted into the tender grey clouds

Towards tears of rain
How my heart longs to know...

Faith Grows Weak
So long I've cried
My tears have dried
I don't know what to do

My hope is lost
Peace...
