you know my walls

All these things I can’t control
So I’m knocking, knocking at your door 

Have you been waiting at the doorstep?
As I surrender my need to surrender?

The answer is in my questions oh Lord. 
You pursued me, because I wouldn’t have come on my own. 

I’m praying for your fame, your glory, your honor. You know my path, my leaving and coming. 

Press through my walls, hold my hand. 

Let your holy wind push down and lift me up.

Season’s Conflict

I can hear acceleration whirring churning
Under the deep unmoving slumber 
Do not be caught without a thought
When all the green breaks through 

Excitement comes like a gift
When the frozen winds no longer sift 
Through the branches sleeping, hanging
Burdened by the sinuous ice.

Strong and slowly, roots will wake
Up and up, with urgency to break
Open wide the grand surprise, 

Spring is coming to winter’s demise
