A Spark.




A Spark.

Is it fake? A fantasy? A surrealization of what cannot be? Or is it real, and miracles do happen?

My heart is light, my eyes are bright, I woke up smiling while I slept last night. Can it be, that a girl can be the focus of my mind?

I see her lips, the way she laughs, the passion shining in her eyes; her voice surrounds me as it echoes in the dark.

And this morning, I give thanks, whether true or just a glance, to God on high... for He has let me feel a spark.

    That sounds really amazing that you have a girl on the heart and mind.

    I have thoroughly enjoyed reading and learning from your blog. Thank you for your courage, faith, and insight. Through your blog, I have gained a better understanding of the perspective of someone who is gay, yet still tries his best to have faith in the gospel. I know the Lord will bless you.

    Becky: Thanks for the link; I hadn't seen the article. And for anyone else reading, the spark is totally out. One-way sparks don't work very well, but at least I felt *something*.

    maybe if you let her read your poem the spark will be contagious...everybody likes to be the focus of somebody else [at least I do]!!!

Comment Rules:

(G)MG is how I write to you. Commenting is one way to write to me.

If you want your comment published: No swearing, graphic content, name-calling of any kind, or outbound links to anything but official Church sites.

In addition, comments must be 100% relevant, funny, uplifting, helpful, friendly... well-written, concise, and true. Disparaging comments often don't meet those standards. Comments on (G)MG are personal notes to me, not part of a comment war. You are not entitled to have your ideas hosted on my personal blog. There are a zillion places for that, and only one (G)MG.

And I'd suggest writing your comment in Word and pasting it. That way Blogger won't eat it if it's over the word limit.
