at my happiest
i'm silly wild and free
i smile for everyone to see
i dance and swing
i twirl and sing
no one's happier than me

My smile is a mile wide
I'm so happy--I can't hide
How my insides turned to mush
From the day my heart was pushed
From the darkest depths of me
Now I'm flying-been set free
Seeing light for the first time
Your the star that brightly shines
Through the night to show the way
My skies are blue--no longer grey
You opened me up--I was closed
Now the love I never showed
Is flowing out in loving batches
Our hearts paired--the perfect matches
You took away my loneliness
From the first sweet tender kiss
Awakening the strength I lost
From a past that made me cost
Years of my life to go by
Suspicions held me back to try
Another chance to start anew
Now my choice is only you
Soaring into open arms
And tight hugs to always calm
Me down when I start to be
Flooded with the memories
Of lovers who have done me wrong
I listen to your heartbeat song
OF love that will never end
Music and words that will send
Me to a place I will be
Safe from my past destiny

How romantic, the fall, so far above the pleading waves.
The heights, the depth, to look the deep in eye and weep.
Air space between the lovers’ arc and shallow graves.
The tangible singsong of wedding bells and tragic leap.
Imagine it, the harp-like spray, the call of gulls, the fangs
that scared it up - the fade of white, of pearls and lace.
The cleft, the crags, the foaming ebb and flow, the overhangs,
the rage and misery one cursèd night, of love’s erase.
Romantic and tragic body of sea, a bride set free.
for she’d not live eternity of blood, thus spills her own.
He has no heart, but tears. Before his fate - a honeybee.
The heaviness of weight, the sea frothing with moans.
The scene has wings that fly and dive and sweetly catch
the widower’s debris. Invisible, the flight of ghostly light.
From precipice, how many tears do claw and scratch…
Hell laughs, but jealous witch wished bride to be first bite.

I hear behind me
the fleeting sounds
of a large green alligator
slithering through the weeds
it snaps at my butt
and takes a smallish chunk of me
setting me free
to ponder
behind a tree
how lucky
one can be
to be set free.

I held onto what I thought belonged to me, but in turn was never mine,
What I defined here on earth as forever, I could only relate to this life,
I watched life take it's last breath while here, and it triggered my heart to see,
That no pain in this world is worth losing the love that's inside of me,
So I keep giving passed the pain, I can't afford to lose,
Those feelings are worth feeling, even if its only for a moment to move,
This love brings life back to our spirit, and the enemy cannot deceive,
Oh, my friend, if you only knew, just how much He loves you and me,
He places our hearts back in motion, he sends love at just the right time,
He knows the depths of past pain we have felt, but He never gives up on our lives,
Death can stay at the door knocking, but His love holds the key,
And with just one glance, I saw your heart and at that moment you were set free.

Sometimes doubt is full of shame;
Some times have you forget your name?
Mercies only granted when you repent and be sorry for it…
Sorry for those things you’ve done-QUIT;
Sorry for what you’ve become;
Repentive no longer on the run;
Forgiveness, forget what you just did;
Redeem yourself and be set free and just live;

Heart Set Free
Betrayal stirs his dormant shiver
Regretful tears flowed out to sea
Broken promises failed to deliver
Silent goodbye set her heart free

'The Spirit of the Lord is upon me',
Isaiah foretold, 'He's anointed me
to bring relief to the poor,
to show captives the door,
the blind to see and the oppressed set free.'
Jesus rolled up the scroll and sat down.
“Today this text has been fulfilled be it known.”
“Is not this Joseph's son?
How can such deeds be done?”
“No prophet's is welcome in his home town.”
Luke 4.16-24

Morning's clear lake stretched
as far as eye could see
touching blue horizons
setting my heart free
to cross the waves
to farthest shore
that you and I
unite once more

The Lord has set me free,
His mercy and love has found me
It's hard for me not to see
What the Lord is doing for me.
The Lord has rescued me
He sent compassion for me
His Grace has delivered me
He has blessed me.
The Lord has called me
He chose me
To be all that I can be
So I can serve thee.
The Lord has changed me
To be the child
He knows, I could be
So I can be side thee.
The Lord loves me
He created me
He set me free
So that I can dwell in heaven with thee.
