Everyday Silhouette

I see You
Today
Your silhouette
I catch a glimpse
Of Your glory
I feel Your presence
I know that You are with me
Today

But yesterday was
Different
I did not sense You near
Or catch a glimpse
I didn't see Your
Silhouette
I didn't hear You
Yesterday

I will seek for You
Tomorrow
You speak and I will
Hear Your voice
Your glorious presence
Your silhouette
I will find You in my
Everyday

Desert

Under the sun
Facing the wind
We try to shield our lives
From pain

We've surrounded ourselves
With empty things
Longing for His presence
All around seems dry

Prepare the way
For the Lord to come
Set out the red carpet
He's coming in style

In unfettered worship
Drink in deep
Immerse yourself in
The water of His glory

For where there is a spring of
Gods presence
We can no longer call it
A desert

Changes..

I have been finding it incredibly difficult to blog, and after much consideration, I have realized I'm much too private of a person to "let it all hang out" on the Internet. I've therefore decided to take my blog in a different direction, and turn it into a place to post my poetry. I haven't written in years, (since becoming a mom, really) life has been busy, and poetry was something that dropped off. I've been finding myself inspired to write again recently, and so here I am. I hope you enjoy! All I ask is that if you copy any of my poetry, please give clear creditation and citation. :)

Thanks so much!
