Old Songs and Sunrises

"As the sun-flower turns on her god, when he sets,
The same look which she turned when he rose."

Dancing in the Light

I’m dancing in the light again,

The darkness is behind me.

The rhythms of life’s fear and pain

All set the beat, not bind me.

My soul is free, my heart is His;

The stars above remind me,

Though I may get lost in life’s dance,

His love will always find me.

I’m dancing in the light again,

The darkness is behind me.

Though Darkness tries to shape my life,

It’s His love that’s defined me!

My Neighbor's Dog

Sweet Ebony broke free today

She jumped the fence and broke the chain

For thirty minutes she could play

Leaping and dashing in the rain.

And now she’s back in her own yard

Safe, but shackled as normally,

But she’s still dreaming in the rain

Of that half hour she ran free!
