Coming in to Love



Coming Out

Coming out of the dark
Leaving silence behind
Fearing what's ahead
Going into battle blind

Feeling what is fair
Knowing what is right
Guessing how it will go
Fearing how it might

Sometimes you have to do it
Do it anyway
Even if the end result
Doesn't show today

Someday you will be relieved
To know that you are free
To say, and do, to think and be
What you were meant to be.

Coming out of the dark
Opening the heavy door
Looking yourself in the face today
Like you never have before

Seeing your reflection in their eyes
Knowing that they know you now
It may be hard for a little while
Hang on until they settle down

But in the end it will all be out
You will be free to live and be
Just remember that it is up to you
Only YOU can make you happy.


This Love

We were told from very young
God is Love.
It is up to us to defend our rights
No one can tell you who to love.

I believe my God is Love.
So, all love is of Him.
Including this great love I have for you,
For I know it will never ever end.

It is not immoral, it is not wrong
It is the only explanation of what I feel
It is more than powerful, more than strong
I am deep in love and it is very real.

The love I have for you
Over these four years has grown
I only hope you feel it too
We will make a life of our own.

Hold out hope that love will endure
Until all trials pass away
I love you now more than ever before
And I love you more and more everyday.

Loss of him

From the depths of my soul Come hunger for more love And thirst for more healing. For so long I have ached From a loneliness wound Though loving friends And abundant family surround. In the light of day In the black of night I work on dealing. For so long this wound Held prisoner my focus Though the ache not acute Nothing else could be found. Feared alone in my pain Life seemed to be my sentence For crimes I'd forgotten or never done. This drink of depression Though not my own vice Was the weapon Rage used to bring innocense down. As I've grown quite aware, A tension leaves the air When I realize I'm not alone anymore. For the wrath was brought down Making no waves for himself Because help made no sound. So I gather my memories up for now. As loss takes it's toll Away all the years go When I vow to keep only the good. These memories somehow Seem to hold more value now Than they did when they were new This great pretender leaves without a bow. I may have his blood And h

Moving in the right direction ~>

Progress is being made. Can you feel it? Slowly, but surely this world is changing. One person, one state, or one country at a time... I see how possible it is for this world to know peace. Today, I am especially ecstatic about the goings on in the state of California. Though I live in Kentucky, and this new allowance does not directly effect me, it does greatly affect me. I am speaking of the occurrences regarding the official first day of legalized same-sex marriages that took place yesterday (Tues. June 17,2008) in California. For thousands of couples in that state, it was a time to finally have that moment they had dreamed of for years. It sounds very simple a thing to have- marriage. However, for many people in many places it is still but a distant dream. Picture it: Gathering your family and friends together in one place at a special time Announce your love to the world and solidify your commitment to your partner Become husbands or wives in the eyes of God, the government, and

Wow... Ok, so it's been a month of Sundays, at least, since I last blogged. Sorry. Life has taken me by the tail lately and it's been a struggle to accomplish the "must do" list, much less the "want to" list. So, here I am again. I'm not making any promises that this will be consistent, by any means. But when things strike me as appropriate to write about in a public blog, I will. Ok. To catch you all up: School: Clinical Psych Grad Program... itense, challenging, hopefully as rewarding as I imagined, overwhelming at times, but I'm feeling like it might actually be possibly. If the end of the semester would just hurry up and get here!....aaahhhhh! Work: Looking for something more up my alley, but hanging in there with the international education department. Hoping for a position within the psych/counseling field next year. No practicum this summer, so have to find a back-up idea. Family/Friends: Things shifting, but in a p
