Perhaps that’s why I like snow so much

If you need me I’ll be hanging out in a tree,

Or laying in the snow and watching stars with frozen eyes.

Tasting all the chemicals I find that I can see,

Or maybe I’ll just be praying that I’d die.

If you want me don’t start to look where I should be

Don’t look for DNA or my carbon in the ashes.

I might be alone now, I might be at home

Or maybe I’m a goner somewhere where you can’t come.

I might be on the roadside, hit and run, or better, roadkill

I might be a little thinner at the bottom of a cliff.

I might be in my car, and you’ll never know

If I did it on purpose- or if it was a car malfunction.

If you want to find me, don’t ask me any questions,

Save your breath for saying goodbye,

Farewell, to my cold, dead corpse.

Perhaps that’s why I like snow so much.

Beyond the Clay

I cannot see beyond the clay

That You have made aware

I reach my hand beyond today

Beyond my deadened stare.

If peace is plentiful beyond

I ask that You might share

A piece of that, which You’re so fond,

And show me that You care.

I’m sorry for my doubting heart,

My lack of faith or hope.

From You, I can’t live life apart

Without, I wouldn’t cope.

I’m standing on my battle ground

Alone except for You

But are You here and all around?

You’re not within my view.

Break me if You want to; show me!

Don’t let me have control.

Break my life down ‘til I agree

Then build me to be whole.
