Speak Softly

Speak softly to me baby
Hold me close tonight. 
I need to feel close to you 
Need to feel alright.

Lately life has been crazy and we are both tired
So speak softly to me baby
Until the morning light.

I need to feel your soft lips against mine 
And i need to hear you whisper to me tonight. 
To feel your warm breath on my skin 
And to feel wanted, needed and alive again.

You may think me needy 
And i admit it's true 
My sweet boy i just need you.

These days are harsh 
And they have left me burned through 
On this night i just need some sweet talk with you.

So speak softly to me my baby
Please hold me close tonight. 
Tell me you'll always love me 
And this life will be alright.

To See Beauty

I want to cover my body in paint; beautiful bursts of colors.

I want to swim in the rain and bathe in the sun rays.

Roll in the soft green grass, run through the woods, dip my feet in the cool creak and feel what it is like to truly breathe.

I want to see beauty.

To feel the wind on my skin and the earth under my bare heels, spend the daylight in the sun and the night counting the stars.

I need to feel free, like i have a divine destiny. But these days i feel old and colorless and alone.

I was made to live with reckless abandon, made to dance in white dresses. So where is my dress and where is my adventure? I think I've been looking away from the divine picture.

My soul is tired from these normal days and yet i can't find the will to change.

Then you come in like a cool fall wind, breathe into my lungs and remind me to exhale again.

"You are never consumed" you say, "you are never alone", "my love goes with you wherever you go".

In the stillness of the moment you meet me there and move me to believe your love is truly all i need.

You are the beauty i long to see.



"Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” - Lamentations 3:22-24
