Truth Has It


Sun is up till it’s
Down and out of here
They call it a day

Life swept me off my
Feet onto the floor
Blamed my lucky stars

The world coiled my arm
Bound my hands again
I gave my cares a

Chase for their money
Dared to stare into
Trouble’s tried and false eyes

Watch me swim against the stream
I’d say “You lost me”
But Truth has it I was
Never yours at all.

The Sea

Those eyes that are the sea.
Deep and near and distant.
Gray. Green. Blue.
Wild and waiting for the sun.
Relentless showers sprinkle down 
with both rage and elegance.
Brokenness and dignity.
Pouring. Racing. Falling rain.
down
down
down.
All that can't be held another moment
In those eyes. 
Those eyes that are the sea.
