Un-tethered

For too long it's been tethered,
Nearly weathered by your storm.
Broken, battered, often severed,
My heart indebted by your form.

For too long it's been tethered,
So my heart last night was torn.
But alas the knot unfettered,
And my heart, unknown, has flown.

Tree

He climbed up in that tree
And from that hill, the third of three,
He could see the miles, from sea to a sea.
He could see the past, the present, and me.
And while he rested on that tree
He breathed at last, and His spirit did flee.
And from his hand, his brow and feet
A drop dripped down through eternity
And his blood reached a little sinner, me.
Some called the hill of the tree, Calvary.
But today, the tree just calls me, 'Free.'

Blue-Eyed Julia

If there's a man in the moon, I believe he sings a song to you.
Happy to know you, to see you, and move the waters that surround you.
I'm pretty sure you're the reason he painted his night skies deep blue.
And the oceans were convinced to reflect the same deep blue hue.
Because Julia loves when darkness surrounds, and light shines through.

Stone

All the things I say to you, when I’m all alone.

The honest thoughts, the feelings sought,

The floods of waters that I pretend are stone

Whenever I’m around you, just as I’ve been taught,

At night turn to oceans and oceans of thought.
