midnight encounters

eyes wide open
i lay awake

of shadows in the dark
haunting the present

of moaning in the winds
screaming the hidden

then you walked in
candle in one hand
other found its home in mine

in a gentle whisper
shadows were swallowed
moaning was muffled...silenced

i lay awake
eyes wide open
of such power and poise

only you

poetry and song
wishing i were there

words and music
packaged thoughts all bare

emptiness and silence
drowning in oceans

painted beauty revealed
a masterpiece in motion

so this is what it means
to be with you...and only you

me

it's exhausting trying to be different
and
a bore blending into the crowd

all i want is to be just me
you let me be me

if only for the brief moments we share
enough to get me through the day

you let me be me
and showed me how

awakening a deeper desire
for these exchanges to linger
longer than before

smiley face

i woke up with a smiley face etched on my heart...not sure how else to explain it!

simply still

it's amazing...

the love that fights,
believes,
pushes through,
transforms and most of all - stays simply still

am in a good place
no...right and best place where His strength surrounds my soul

strangely, simply, still.

silence

Ajarku berdiam
Dekat di hatiMu
Di saat kuberpaling
temukan cintaMu

Di sana Kau menanti
'tuk bawaku lagi
bersekutu dalam
damai yang sejati


Kudamba hadirMu

Inilah rinduku

Hidupku hanyalah untukMu
Segenap hatiku kagum kan kebaikanMu
Dan nafasku menceritakan kasihMu
Ajarku berdiam dekat di hatiMu

moving

it's time to move homes again...maybe this time we'll get a house!
exciting...yet the thought of packing everything up and then unpacking...eeeekkkk!!

believing that God will provide the right home in the right place at the right time
