You fill the empty spaces,
with overflowing spirit
intangible feelings,
on an invisible plane,
life energy abounding,
in an endless echo.
This series was inspired by my friends who send me pictures to paint, share their experiences with God, and lift me up with their prayers.

Let it Come
Shattered.
Thousands of pieces of glass
exploding in random directions
all at once.
Raining back down to Earth
with a deafening roar.
Littering the ground
like a minefield.
Feeling like I swallowed the shards.
Waves of shock and disbelief.
Body and mind separated.
Afraid to move in any direction.
Paralyzed.
Lifelines dangling above my head.
Grasping at one and then another.
Trying to pull myself up.
Slipping, stumbling, flailing, falling
God is with me.
Thousands of pieces of glass
exploding in random directions
all at once.
Raining back down to Earth
with a deafening roar.
Littering the ground
like a minefield.
Waves of shock and disbelief.
Body and mind separated.
Afraid to move in any direction.
Paralyzed.
Grasping at one and then another.
Trying to pull myself up.
Slipping, stumbling, flailing, falling
Just stop and pray.
Let it come.God is with me.

One More Day
Can’t you see my heart is breaking?
Can’t you see behind my smile?
Don’t you know how much I love you?
But every day you slip away.
You slip away.
I try to grasp, but I can’t reach you,
And all the words that I can’t say,
And even though I walk beside you,
I’m all alone.
I’m all alone.
I bear my soul, but none can see me.
I pray to God to stop the pain,
To stop the pain.
Oh help me Lord to keep on going,
And bring me smiles for one more day,
For one more day.
Can’t you see behind my smile?
Don’t you know how much I love you?
But every day you slip away.
You slip away.
And even though I walk beside you,
I’m all alone.
I’m all alone.
I give my life to be there for you,
As strength and weakness become one.I bear my soul, but none can see me.
I pray to God to stop the pain,
To stop the pain.
Oh help me Lord to keep on going,
And bring me smiles for one more day,
For one more day.
A Victim's Soul
Empty are the words now spoken,
All the light gone from your eyes,
Memories fade into the shadows,
Replaced with fear from unknown lies.
Holding hands to form a lifeline,
Gentle hugs to calm the soul,
Silent prayers from desperate longing,
Time is trapped and cannot move.
Humbled by this hidden blessing,
Honored as a Victim’s Soul.
All the light gone from your eyes,
Memories fade into the shadows,
Replaced with fear from unknown lies.
Holding hands to form a lifeline,
Gentle hugs to calm the soul,
Silent prayers from desperate longing,
Time is trapped and cannot move.
Compassion fills the hearts around us,
Sharing stories, spreading prayers,Humbled by this hidden blessing,
Honored as a Victim’s Soul.
