Far away in the Sunshine

"Far away in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead." Louisa May Alcott

My aspirations are so very small, but they are broad. I don't seek to achieve great feats or to gather fame and fortune. I want to love purely. I want to be whole and full of Christ's peace. I believe I am closer to those desires today than yesterday.

Shining bright from deep within
testing the clarity of my skin.
Do I show what truth and faith can win?
Do I show the strength of sin?
I bleed
to be the one who shows the trapped to freedom.
I have pain
knowing that death looms laughing the deceit of destruction.
It is the embrace of death
the exposure of shame
the light that casts out pain.
Vanquish fear and learn to breath.
