Riddle (What is this riddle about see if you can guess)

Come, oh come let us away- lower, lower everyday

Oh, what joy it is to race, to find the lowest place.

This the dearest law we know--"it is happy to go low."

Sweetest urge and sweetest will, "Let's go down lower still."

Hear the summons, night and day, calling us to come away.

From the heights we leap and flow, to the valleys down below.

Always answering to the call, to the lowest place of all.

Sweetest urge, and sweetest pain, to go low and rise again.

Dance with the broken- 2005

I reach my hand out
ready to dance
but there is no one there to grab it--
I feel ugly, I feel used, I feel weak.

Soon, I begin to tap my toe...
and somehow my body begins it's own dance.
colorful, elaborate, I glide across the floor,
and I am not alone.

I dance with the broken,
who lost hope long ago.
I dance with the ugly, teaching them the beautiful parts.
I dance with the used, that they may feel worthy.
I dance with the weak, for in their joy, they will be made strong.

Our feet are one.
guided by the rhythm of our fears
we are lead into the brilliant dance of love,
unbridled in our true forms. 
beautiful, free, wonderful.
Dont be afraid to dance with me!!

...It's almost done - 2004

Here it is, 
It's almost done
it feels as if it's just begun.
I don't know what I'll do
I don't know how I'll mend 
I don't know when I'll see you
or if you'll be my friend.
And so it comes, just as it is,
a day no longer here, 
and through my trembling fingertips
are the memories of the year.
though this seems it is the end, 
I will forget you never, 
I wonder if our crazy times 
will stay with you forever?

Now I know- 2004

Now I know how much I loved you
Now I know how much  you never knew,
Now I know the extent of what I've done
Now I know I need to let you go.

         I know you're not the one for me...

         but you showed me how to care for another

         more deeply than I ever thought possible.

Now I know how the sun rose and set when I saw your face.

Now I know why I found you so amazing.

Now I know why it took so long to know

Now I know forever lies elsewhere.

      You taught me how to love

      even though you never knew.

      You meant the most to me

       and I freely gave you my tender heart. 

Now I know why it's so hard

Now I know why thoughts linger on you.

Now I know why I loved you

Now I know why I miss you!!

Chains of vines - 2005

Constantly i'm stuck between lines
  meant to make me go astray.
I'm entwined in the chains of vines-
but somehow, I know I'll be okay.
Tender wind nips at my ears
I feel like giving up,
the fight raging in my fears
I wish the Lord to take this cup.

Untitled- 2005

Awaiting,
upon the soft edges of existance.
Hello again, How are you?

(The sea shouts to the sky, blasting foam and salt from it's depths-- Awakening answers from my soul)

I'm collapsing, yet again, down to Your feet I bring my face.

Headstrong, and in control- I give up the reigns- completely to You!

Free me of the confusion
the clouds covering up my veiw.
Take away these storms,
that that thunder and rattle my bones.

You are the peace that  calms so many fears,
so much brokeness and tears.

Restore to me my vision,
come near to me.
Rescue my soul that is ill,
sick with  the mess it has made.

I want to be completely yours--
in every shape and every way!
