Seams of My Heart by Kaia Fowler
4th of July Baby
Down by the river where the children play,
The fireworks let go their violent sounds.
Fireflies blend with the sparklers drawing
Crazy circles round and round.
Ask the Night
I have no reasons. I have no cause.
I have no hard feelings, baby.
I have no secrets. I have no regrets.
I have known nothing I want to forget.
Dream Awhile
We woke, no morning.
Your face was dark like rain.
And I’m lonely like a circus clown
Even when you’re around.
Feelin’ Alright
Sittin’ on my front porch
Talking to you on the phone.
Likin’ how the softness in your voice
Smoothes out the texture of my soul.
Home With You
Oh my child,
Oh the joy to be here home with you.
This war drags on so long.
And, God, it feels so wrong.
Let Him Be
Where some see walls, he sees possibilities.
Likes to contemplate infinity.
Stops his game to bring a flower to me.
He’s so sweet.
Please Bring the Light
There’s a child who can’t sleep at night.
In the dark, the shadows come too close.
And he holds his comfort tight.
And he prays, “Lord, protect me.
The Sand and the Sea
Once the water has run, don’t waste your time
wondering why.
Just lift your cup, lift it up. Hold it high.
What brings us pain may bring new life.
Seams of My Heart
I wish that I could tell you how I really feel
When I try to take.
Everything seems so special.
Nothing can be lost.
Sharing Life, Sharing Love
Summer’s winding down
Not too many more days ‘til the cold
Comes ‘round, comes ‘round again.
Let’s tour the lakes in your boat.
Whatever It Takes
As I cross the threshold,
boundaries touch then fold.
reveal a vein of gold.
Roughened by the past,
Who Are You?
What brings you here tonight?
Did something not go right?
Did something go wrong?
Do you belong out on the street
