Waves of Fire in the Heart


This is a painting that I completed in June of 2010. I have been working on the title for it. I have been thinking of "Waves of Fire in the Heart" but contemplated "Oceans of Fire Inside My Heart" and "Oceans on Fire Inside My Heart". Any thoughts to share on which title you prefer? I appreciate any feedback.

Take the Baby Home, Hold Her Heart in Yours

I would not be who I am without suffering through
the terrors and the pain.
Still, I sometimes imagine what a more simplistic past could do
to reinvent my soul today.


Take the baby home and keep her under lock and key,
save her from the evil that hovers and look what she'll turn out to be.
Take your daughter home and protect her innocence,
keep her just beneath your wings and offer evil no forgiveness.
Take your child home and hold her heart in yours,
protect her soul, give her wings and she will certainly soar.
Take your little one into the garden where birds sing and butterflies dance,
don't let the sun go down on her hopes and her dreams, give her a chance.
Take the baby home again and keep her under lock and key,
save her life, save her soul, save her grace and dignity.

Journeys of the Heart

The heart can journey endlessly
Leading the mind out from the ruins
The heart is innately free
Even as the mind is trapped in confusion

Let the heart travel
Let it be your guide
It reminds you not to dwell
In spaces that allow you to hide

The heart cannot thrive in a state of fear
The mind draws this in and hides behind it
Finding a comfortable discomfort here
Stuck, no room for change in this state of mind

Fear tries to take over, heart and soul
While your mind remains paralyzed
Making it impossible to reach your goals
As you lose sight of the soul your heart designed

All is lost to this power called fear
If you let your guard down and let it in
The challenge is very clear
The strength is within you to win

Fear or your heart can be your guide
The choice is in your mind's eye
Do not go to that place and hide
Be alive, bust through the fear inside

Life is not ahead of you
It is full and present in the here and now
You may have some fighting to do
To show your mind the why and how

The rewards are endless
It is evident from the start
As soon as you clean up the mess
That fear has created in your heart

The clarity will bring light
To the visions of your soul
Your heart will guide your sight
The path will be lit toward becoming whole
