HOW MUCH LONGER
How long will it be
Until we realize
This path that we've taken
Is leading us the wrong way?
Everywhere we look,
There's nothing but despair,
Scandals and wars,
Broken homes and meaningless lives.
Our sight is blinded,
Our hearts have numbed,
Our minds are unsettled,
And hope is fading fast.
Oh, How much longer
Until we realize
Only You can heal us now?
Until we realize
This path that we've taken
Is leading us the wrong way?
Everywhere we look,
There's nothing but despair,
Scandals and wars,
Broken homes and meaningless lives.
Our sight is blinded,
Our hearts have numbed,
Our minds are unsettled,
And hope is fading fast.
Oh, How much longer
Until we realize
Only You can heal us now?

"Everything Falls" by Fee is my new favorite song. And with such beautiful lyrics, I am inspired to pair it with some of my photos!

my spring soundtrack
I thought I'd share some songs that I've recently added to my playlist.
"EVERYTHING FALLS" by Fee (listen)
I heard this song on Air1 radio one night, and I was instantly captivated. I don't know this band at all, but I love how it says "When everything falls apart, you're the only hope for this heart."
I must be getting into more pop songs, because I've liked all the songs I've heard from Dorothy Savage so far. Her album's not out yet, but I downloaded this song from her website. I
"HOLD ON" by TobyMac (listen)
TobyMac always has catchy lyrics and I can't help but sing and dance along to this song. And most people know that I don't really dance. I've listened to this song almost every morning driving to work the past few weeks, and it never fails to wake me up and help me start the day with a smile.
"SLEEP WELL" by Mae (listen)
Mae is doing a project where they release a new song every month and all sales go towards a charity organization. Their songs are always dream-like, but I don't think I've liked a song that's over eight minutes before but this one. What's even better is that the organization for this song helps teachers and students!
"WALLS" by The Rocket Summer (listen)
This song kind-of crept up on me. I've been listening to The Rocket Summer's new album but I skipped "Walls" a few times before I had a good listen. And I'm glad I'm getting over my bias of slow songs because this one's one of my favorites of all time.
"ON AND ON" by Chasen (listen)
Every time I hear this song in my car, I end up looking up at the sky and marveling in God's amazing love. I love the chorus: "Some say we need a miracle, some say there's no hope at all, but I know Your love is strong, it goes on and on and on."
"THE SAVING ONE" by Starfield (listen)
I've been thinking about how I've become too comfortable in my faith and how I've lost some of the passion for God between all the things I have to do and all the things I end up doing.

WHY
I definitely need to make more time to write poems. Maybe I need to set a reasonable goal... like two a month. I think I could do that. This one's not really complete, but I can't decide where to go with it.
WHY
Why do my feet
Always have to touch the ground?
Why do my eyes
Have trouble trusting the unseen?
Why does my heart
Need consent from my mind?
SOMETIMES
I can't let go, the way I feel
When every time I pass someone
And the first thought that comes to mind
Is whether they realized I just walked by.
Sometimes I don't feel alive.
Sometimes I don't feel beautiful.
Sometimes I feel invisible.
Most times I pretend I don't care
But then there are those days
When I want to do more than
Hide behind a facade.
Sometimes I have to try.
Sometimes I have to face my fears.
Sometimes I forget to let Him lead me.

MORNINGS
I think it's about time I start writing again...
MORNINGS
Daylight wants to break through the window--
That time between sleeping and waking,
Where everything seems to stand still.
My thoughts are always cohesive and
Ideas float freely through my mind--
Anything is possible when dawn arrives.
Conflicts have resolutions in sight,
Hope beyond measure rises when
Peace takes over me from within.
I know time won't wait for me
But for a brief moment every morning,
Time will just have to oblige.
