Uhhhh ... Untitled

So, this is the third blog I've done tonight (it's 12:30 AM and I'm kind of tired) but I'll wrap it up with this. It's a compliation of different lyrics from all types of songs....I wrote it awhile ago, don't ask why because then I'll just look like some pale, interpersonal nerd who reads nothing but Emily Dickenson all day (don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with Emily Dickenson)...I just did it (as those britians would say......that's you, DOUG) "on a whim." It looks long, but it's not, please read it:

Now the wind is high and the rain is heavy and water’s rising in the levy. Still I think of you when the sun goes down, it never goes away but it all works out. Let us pause in life’s pleasures and count its many tears. She had faded jeans with soft black leather; she had eyes so blue they looked like weather. I’ve had some time to think about it and watch the sun set like a stone. I’ve had some time to think about you on the long ride home. This is the part where you may want to give in and I will remind you that we both once said we were born to stumble and to learn in a stardust covered universe. That’s not the beginning of the end, that’s the return to yourself, the return to innocence. Pick me up from the bottom, pay no mind to taunts or advances, take chances on everyday. Let these waters flow, this isn’t how I go. Lights will guide you home and ignite your bones. Hard times come again no more. Don’t close your eyes. Where are you going? Don’t hide away like the ocean but you can take in the smell and the sound. I do know one thing; where you are is where I belong. Did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there? Somehow I can’t let it go. Take your shower, shine your shoes, we’ve got no time to lose. I can’t believe that we would lie in our graves wondering if we had spent our living days well. Some will win, some will lose, all you need is love. I believe in memories. Every story I have told is part of you. My heart beats like tympani drums, keeping the time as the melody’s sung. Some days I can’t believe, others I’m on my knees. This is your life, are you who you want to be? It’s not always easy but sometimes life can be deceiving. It took a world of troubles, it took a world of tears, it took a long time to get back here. Everything’s wrong, but it’s alright. He’s got the whole world in his hands. These are the days, these are the moments that pass us by. Save tonight, the second hand unwinds. If you fall I will catch you. This is the sound of settling. I wanted to see something that’s different, something they said would change in me, and I found you. When I see your smile, tears run down my face. This world breaks through my soul and I know deep inside me, you can be the one. If I traded it all for one thing, just for one thing. I’m trading my sorrows. Running away like you do, you’ve got to slow your engines when God is in pursuit.

Wow....

I bet you I could name all those songs!!! That was such a cool message, it was tied all together in the last line. Sometimes we get so caught up in the fast pace of life that we forget to stop and figure out whether or not this is what God wants us to do. Very good blog!
