Fire burns and sears
Though it never hurts me
Just burns away pained memories

Water heals and cleanses
Both body and mind
Even still my heart is broken

Spirit sings in me
Taking me past my sorrows
To a place I can heal

Air all around me
Winds through my hair
I feel alive

Through darkened streets I wander
Through midnight shadows of fear
Only just to wonder
What I am doing here

His arms wrap around me
As tears wrack my body
The unshielded pain
Revealed in my face
The hurt of hidden feelings
Revived with force
The seed of loneliness
Had grown in my heart

But through this I am comforted
By a presence I can't conceive
A forgiving force
That releases my guilt
A loving wonder
To fill the gap
An amazing hope
That cleanses my face
And soul of stains

When I am cold I seek warmth
When I am sad I seek comfort
When I am tired I seek rest
They say I can find these with God.
So why do I keep searching?

When I am cold I seek warmth
The warmth of God's love
Is suppose to cover me
So why do I keep freezing?

When I am sad I seek comfort
The comfort of God's presence
Is suppose to surround me
So why do I keep crying?

When I am tired I seek rest
I am tired of crying
I am tired of freezing
I am tired of searching
So I give myself to God
And rest

Glancing up to the clear blue sky
Seeing the beauty of endless time
Never knowing what lies beyond
But hearing small hints in nature's song

I spin in a circle in a green clearing
Seeing the birds, and a mere cat leering
I settle on the ground and watch the world
Knowing I'm a small part, merely a girl

I may have no voice,  but my heart sings a harmony
Making my own song with nature's melody

Burning light
Sears through the night
His tears reflecting
The fear and anger, bright.

Dark brings chaos
Like none before
In only an instant
Life breathes in him no more

The sounds of gunshots
Echo through the streets
Piercing women's screams
Make even the strongest weak
