The Night Before
Sparkles Green leaves, A sunrise. We forget the anguished cries That birthed this moment The darkness stifling the dawn. We celebrate the sparks of new life, The butterfly’s flawless wings The bird that sings at glowing light But not the night, The curtains drawn on life before. The caterpillar falling apart, The future work of…
I Will Do A New Thing
The fields are dusty and brown The hills wear their weary winter frown. Travelling along this grey stretch of tarmac My heart reflects the barrenness of this outback. Hazel smudges fleck the grimy landscape, Sunlit sand-swirls in the air take shape. My eyes strain to understand this vision, My heart is lifeless with indecision.…

Notes bounce off the walls humming in a cacophony of noise. Listening with an acute ear the composer chooses two notes to blend, pair, align and connect.

Within The Pages

My Story
It’s a good story Even though there a moments That seem sombre Because it’s for Your glory And that changes things You make living worth it When I remember Your love I become stronger for it Because my help comes from above As the darkness subsides The light arrives Because you can bet If it…
Community
Community, Speaks life to the lifeless Listens to the unheard voices Helps the helpless while Uniting together as one Community, Reaps what it sows Sowing seeds that grow roots So deep that society sees no fruits But the fruits, are flourishing within An underground work grinding For an outer produce To harvest in due season.…
Surrounded By
surrounded by joyful faces, cheering you on. held within the gleaming smiles. standing proudly among them. surrounded by words. small yet meaningful, firm yet graceful. echoing deep within, breaking through the darkness. surrounded by arms, wrapping themselves tight in an effort to block out anything that might come against. surrounded by hands reaching out to…
