Thin Atmosphere

Takes so much to know You're mine

Cross and doubting all the time

Pushing hard against the line

The hills and valleys chase the rhyme

While you tell me taste the vine

Takes a lot to really trust

What do I know? Nothing much

I long to feel Your loving touch 

The devil tries to mess me up 

And I forget Your healing love

Its a thin atmosphere

Between our two hearts

But not much is clear

From this side of the stars

I want to know You better

And I'm chasing after truth

And the thinness of the veil 

Lets me see past my roof

Takes some time to sit and speak 

About what makes me tick and weak

You oppose pride and lift the meek 

I'm afraid you won't like me

And so I stray and we both weep

Takes some time to hear Your voice

But I have made my final choice

I know you won't leave a void

Your death is life my songs employ 

So I will stay while You rejoice

Its a thin atmosphere

Between our two hearts

But not much is clear

From this side of the stars

I want to know You better

And I'm chasing after truth

And the thinness of the veil 

Lets me see past my roof

Up In the Air

Right now, many things are up in the air. 

A job. 

A film opportunity. 

My book. 

All these things are beyond my grasp, placed just out of my reach. I think God is testing my trust in Him. I have such a hard time NOT KNOWING things. I want to know the who, what, when, where, and how, dust off my hands and be on my merry way. But nope, I'm stuck here, hovering, all up in the air...

...taking forever at the interstate, i left my black hat at the back door. Thinking subliminally and hoping and wishing, I walked down to the open shores and stuck a feather with a pin. Wistfully, I watched it wash up on shore, knowing there is so much more than this implied, and thinking that I was so lucky to have survived...
