Footprints
I know your footprints go before me
Though invisible to my eye
And when I turn to look behind me
You've been with me all my life
Wooing me with love and kindness
Drawing me unto your side
I know I've often left your pathway
Followed footprints of another kind
Which led away from joy and peace
And led to emptiness inside
Yet still, whichever way I wander
I always seem to stumble on
Your footprints on my heart forever
Which draw me back
And lead me on

Dusk
The dark clouds spread out across the horizon
Rising up, like some foreboding force
With the wind along for company
Playing in the dusk sky
One half darkness, night
The other, dragging his heels
Grasping onto light, but slipping away
Losing it's fight, like this night
I smell the rain hiding away
Choosing his moment
The atmosphere evil, mysterious
Like a secret never to be known
And though I'm home
I feel a thousand miles away fro m you
The great divide
Where you stand magnificent
I stand small
Catch me up in this storm
Blow me to somewhere safe
To see your face
To rest at last
Until this is past
This storm, these dark clouds
This dusk
