Empty Seat

written on July 10th

Empty Seat

this party has endless guests
a handful of best friends
savor time in each second
no distractions;no work
counting only 10 chairs
people authentically themselves
inviting all our favorites
to laugh,encourage
be the force waking up life

there was an empty seat
reserved all the time
Hello God can we talk?
What do you want right now?
prayer for others around y'all
keep focus on being a warrior
untangle there tears slowly
exhale pain,inhale smiles

What is weighing on your heart?
a part wants perfect beauty
a peice takes things internally
the whole split in half so fast
distort a real person
sing out differences,celebrate
brush off missteps
throw away looking flawless
embrace pretty in the dark

What fears throw off balance?
turning feet to stone
and tears into glass
make a hearts light playful
allow life create firsts
first time at broadway
hike through forests
change fear into feathers

What are you grateful for?
people to talk to
sun shine warming up sadness
being surrounded by beauty
ways to get around town
1000 reasons for fullness
and hearing a favorite band

How rich has this year been?
money has never been happy
possessions grow sentimental
friends breathe new wealth
things mean so much more
checkup;halfway happy

sit at the table today
what will you leave with
a God so amazing
people telling you stuff straight
new wonder to take home
I was the only one left
amazed by His presence
