Prayer

May my heart of longing
be transformed
to a heart of gratitude.

Falling Stars

I have

dark circles under my eyes
dishes in the sink

crayons in the carpet

beers in the fridge

I have


feelings that won't quit
that I can't drown
that creep up

I want

to be held
to be safe
to be secure
to believe

to know
that after all the guests are gone
you'll stay.
