In This Chair

Here I am

in this chair

once again

being still

in the presence

of the One that created 

every living thing

In this chair

I find such peace

gentle and soothing

reminding me

that I am created

loved and chosen

set apart to be

just the way I am

In this chair

I let go

of all the “what if’s”

and the “why’s”

that tried so hard

 to clutter my mind

fill me with doubt

stir up old wounds

I just surrender

toss the past

over my shoulder

kick away the debris

and open up 

to all the wonders

that have been created

for my pleasure

 pure joy

constant refuge

sacred space

in this chair

where I can lose

and find

get lost 

be found

be loved

and love back




More Than A Song

She read the lyrics

Heard the music

Felt the vibrations

And something else

It was more than just a song

It was a desire and a longing

A promise broken

Another one kept

The yearning of her heart

An answered prayer

The story she lived but didn’t write

The little things

Shared history

Secrets and understandings

Battle cries

Lullabies

Memories

In a chorus 

Or one single word

Chaos and peace

Bitter and sweet

Everything she ever imagined

In more than a song
