Ashes Ashes.

It was so much easier
To take it all in stride.
Sing the song, spin around.
Fall together.

I'm Nothing.

I cry this lullaby from my knees.
I'm nothing without you.
I'm nothing without you.

Under the tears, the frustration.
Under every layer of stone,
You reign above all else.

October 5, 2009.

Downward spiral in an upward motion.
Where's my get out of jail free card now?
With every burst of momentum,
I find nothing but the starting gate.

Today has been such a long day.
I'm struggling to keep my head on straight.
I'm lost in every aspect of myself,
besides those I find to be fundamental.
The only absolute truth I know is Christ,
Apart from the substantial knowledge
That are my own beliefs.
I just pray that relationships don't rot.
I pray that inspiration does not stale,
Nor integrity run dry.
God, grant me an oasis of creative trust.
