Portrait of an artist

An artist is one who dreams in color
In the middle of the day

An artist is one for whom the fairies dancing on the lawn
Are as real as the postman

An artist is one looks at the moon
And sees the other side

An artist is one who needs to know why
Even when there is no reason

An artist is one who carries in himself
His own distractions

An artist measures not only with his eye
But with his heart

An artist cannot bear the thought
That there are only three dimensions

An artist creates
While others recreate.

Beautiful Savior

I taste your grace
Beautiful Savior
I drink you in like water
I hear your words in my ears
You rub my back when I’m tired

You live like a spider
Webbed between my heartbeats
You rest in the little places
Between my thoughts
Beautiful savior

Beautiful Savior
Beautiful friend
You patch the broken walls
Of the dry well
That is my soul.

You bring me low
You plaster me up
You live inside me
As I live inside of you
Beautiful Savior
