FRAME: THE SHATTERING PRECIPICE OF ETERNITY

the game to get by.

and wild forever in the meantime.

touching mysteries like in our orbit

not just a story.

oh, we're staying up all night, you and I.


FORWARD MOTION.


we laugh and whisper

to enjoy the taste of lemon in water

before it floods the earth as your crashing glory tidal wave

---- hey yeah,

and before you rain down in furious fire.


every seed dies before it grows ----

and I WANT TO SEE YOU.


touching your face, 

the bristles of your near.

when you're here.


swimming through streets for brayden and brooke.

strumming hallelujah for ashley.

our secret signal, first handshake,

like we've been best friends forever.

we go way back, you and I.


how can I be finding you and finding that I always knew you? finding nothing new, only finding everything so familiar


beneath the apple tree, it appears we were together.


cause it's living water we desire

come flood our hearts with holy fire


WHAT CAN YOU REALLY DO?


it's everything,

hailing from heaven.

harmonicas in the side rows.

white flags holy, holy, holy.

sunflowers, dandelions, roses,

faith, hope, love.

a ranger on a verdant ranch

descends down into gore canyon

and we dance maranatha, maranatha, come.

etched into our skin

arms together holy, holy, holy

sitting in the front rows. 

you know I like the window seat.

BRIDE   |   BRIDEGROOM

equal as one.

riddles you are, riding your waves, 

your breakers at the roots of the mountains.

I found you mid-dance.

suddenly surrounded by stellar tapestries,

gravity far behind us now.


cratering over it all.

it's you, it's you, it's you.

something so calm and clean.

you're fresh linen to me, dried in the sun.


do you remember when we were beneath the starry branches?

the christmas lights.

the beams of our house are cedars,

our rafters, cypresses.

MOORINGS (WATER WHEEL)

moorings loose  moorings loose or nothing at all moorings loose, so as to one day be toward me one day in time, in tov your eyes bring a washing to mine toward, tender, together the narrow, spacious way floodlights floodlights faith onto concrete floodlights sweep into my ribcage trace their insides a finger of time, of tov you mist over my sleep a sea all to yourself i will chart you, loose myself into you, find light in your flood i'll close my eyes tonight and find you that's what i'll do

ODE TO OLD

oh, these old, old songs. I feel it all as worship as I stand in the forest the drums fill my lungs and I know exactly who he's worshiping every time. if half freedom can create a globe fill a stadium with flashing lights and these otherworldly songs THEN WHAT CAN FULL FREEDOM BRING AND BRING IT THROUGH ME. to paint on this dimension  with your words with your songs with your ideas with your love with your stories with your desires with your power with your color with your memories with your images no more chanting in confusion. you are not cryptic to me.

EDGE OF SOMETHING REAL

to the days, the endless days the early air and old t-shirts I do believe that we were endless those days if I could wrap you in my arms and tell you everything is going to be okay if I could take you to coffee and listen with my whole heart if I could walk through your neighborhood and share the heart of God if I could go without food and sleep if I could enter empty spaces and watch them fill if I could dance and shout in the blue light if I could carry a binder and shoes in the same hand if I could run like a child and tag you if I could sit beside you when you're all alone I have so much love for you, I want you to know that
