A Quickening

The canvas of my mind explodes
Swirling shades, hues and tones
Co-mingling and covering this dreamscape
Choosing form and taking shape
At once familiar, yet strikingly new
And it turns, as if on cue,
My heartbeat quickens -
For it is You.

Petulance

Fortune smiled and showed the way
Fortune smiled and I said no thanks
Fortune smiled, but I turned away

The light turned on and I closed my eyes
The light was shone and I covered up
The light burned bright, I turned to night

I built myself up, you tore me back down
I ran far away, you were already there
I tried to hide, but you found me

I accepted your love then threw it away
I accepted your life then left it behind
I accepted your grace then spit in its face
