April 2011
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths,
but only what is helpful for building others up according to
their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
The ocean slipped and swept around me
Carried me tumbling through the tides
Flowing like a million rivers
From the green sea of your eyes.
You are the blue in my skies
The darkening grays
Above me as it rains
The stars that surround me
A million orbs scattering
the network of my mind.
I am the purple
That weaves its thread through your mind
Thundering in the storm in the rain
Blending with the blue of your midnight skies
Til the arctic winter glows
Into the summer sunlight.
You are gold where the earth reaches out
To meet the darkening sky
You are the bottom of my shoes,
That have carried me from shore to shore
Of the Pacific sea
And what the world has yet to see.
You are the green in the grass
Growing towards the yellow
Coloring my mind
I am the red of my heart mixing into
The blue of your veins
Bleeding the purple of the evening stars.
