The Lord My Light

The Lord is the light my heart seeks hope from on high,
it will rise in me a fury of joy of the most high,
for I see darkness flee in terror of his love for me,
his light shall scatter the despair in the air,
as the storm gives way to those who praise,
my spirit swells with peace from on high.

My Heart Hoped

My heart hoped in something that could never be,
an illusion of a life I wish was with her,
as it reached out for that hope far away in that
distant horizon,
only the sun knew my hearts pain,
yet still it reached for a star in the twilight sky,
grasping only the still born air of that hope
that she would love me as I loved her,
but all I found in this field of my soul
is a lonely iris that will never bloom.
