If all the doors are closed And curtains drawn If there is no light And all is dark There must be A way out, Surely?

Fortress
I have no words for how I feel
about you
but for the primitive sound
that leaves my lips
akin to the agony and beauty
of new birth
a life fearfully and wonderfully lived
Can penetrate the fragile fortress
which guards the hearts of those
not yet known to thee.
To the heart of it
Call my name
Tenderly
Look me in the eye
Place one hand
On my shoulder
Gently
Ask how I am
Watch me cry
Slay me down
There is a name of one
who is my kryptonite
upon utterance all my defences
fall down I cower and return
to my world of torment
The name is secret to all but few
Forever in fear that the name be known
that all will utter it seemingly innocently
and take me down
revengeful, resentful, trust in few
Is it you?
‘Til the Sky
Across the vastness and darkness
I happened upon
a humble kind-hearted one
The doors were wide open
many creatures entered care
But some left in wonder
pacing, staring over
how to cross the blue yonder
without paying the fare.

Precious
You are my best friend
I cared for you before we even met
All the unspeakable things
I held out to account
When we pull others up
Out of the mud
It is surely to be flown at us
I wore it well enough
All for Him
and you.

Never again
Walked to the top of the bridge
Held all the things you said
Cast off over the edge
Whipped by the wind and the current
Drowned out on the sea bed
Never again to evoke a frown
Stepped down from the ledge
Over the bridge
Stand on new ground
Warm air surrounds
The happiest place to be
Under soles of feet

Love is not measured
in leaps and bounds
in a halfway house
nor on common ground
but the vastness that lies
between He and we
is incomprehensible
as between
You and me
The vastness above and under the sea won’t sever our unity.
