Seven Layer Face

A Poem By Hannah Hendricks
Dedicated to Sierra Lynn Goss


To the end is no end
To burst and to bloom
To run is to mosey
From our impending doom

The stars are the teacups
The rain and the flowers
Each minute a second
Of this lonely hour

The torture is torment
Of this troubled soul
The friendly are missing
You are far from home

He gets you this dark one
His treats and his tricks
He haunts you in sadness
Your faint heart he kicks

The spring-time brings old hurts
Spider webs of lace
Remember who you were
Seven Layer Face


From two-face to freedom
Your heart is mending
But his mask-ed whispers
Your will is bending

Alone you are nothing
Just one you will fall
So rise up and stand strong
As one you are all

The grass is your straw hat
Your socks and your shirt
He still fights for your thoughts
To cause you more hurt

But arise, O sleeper!
A call from the throne
Remember your calling
You are not alone

The spring-time brings new growth
Spider webs of grace
Remember who you are
Heaven layered face

Lifeline

I am being tested as we speak. Sometimes I feel my life is falling apart, even though I know this truth that keeps me going.
God is good, amidst difficult circumstances. I am NOT going to lose sight of my dreams. I will hold tight to them, while persevering through this.
God has also blessed me with a car, and a job. Both this past week. So now I can begin saving for San Francisco in January (if I get accepted). Ukraine is no longer happening this summer, which I am ok with. God's plan is perfect, and I know I will end up there someday.

A word of advice: It is ALWAYS a good thing to be transparent. Honest with yourself, God, and others. There is no freer a feeling.


This is what I listen to while I worship Jesus, in this moment.

With an urgent, careful stare,
I see panic in those eyes.
If I see you lying there,
Hoping this was the last time

If you hear a distant sound,
And some footsteps by your side.
When the world comes crashing down.
I will find you if you hide.

If you wish it, wish it now.
If you wish it, wish it loud.

We all make mistakes.
Here's your Lifeline.
If you want it, I want to.

There’s a field near the dream.
I watched it grow with whitest light.
I watched us all reach out and lean.
For the strength to touch the sky.

If you hear a distant sound.
And some footsteps by your side.
If you feel like coming round.
I will take you for a ride.

If you wish it, wish it now.
If you wish it, wish it loud.

We all make mistakes.
Here's your Lifeline.
If you want it, I want to.
