Crushed Leaves

The heights of existence

Leave no room for resistance

I hear you say

But I don’t agree

Personal hearts wrapped in love

Are packages without delay

But packages in the mailroom of my heart

I lost the key and it’s my fault

I thought I desired approval

With your stamp of love

And signature

But I see the removal

Is it my fault or the fault of you?

I cannot choose

Please come over

Or have dinner with me

I miss your affirming eyes

But your yes changes like a October

I just want love

Is that enough?

I guess it starts with me

I see falling leaves in your eyes

Not with a celebratory feel

But crushed leaves in the mire of a past story

I guess it starts with me

I must move on fully

Like a full fleshed out moon

When I find my key

I won’t give up

I’ll make room

Winter Chill

The winter chill

Can this be for real?

A dense bone

Isn’t alone

Covered in the warmth of skin

Why don’t you let the winter in?

Every forgotten snowman

Melted by the ray’s end

Can this be true?

This cold makes me brand new

Seasons makes me equppied

For the seasons have me by the hip

Final Bow

Dry seasoning

No hidden meaning

What started as love

Ends with screaming

Dry rub

It’s never enough

I want reassurance

But that takes insurance

Time and money

Can’t see the trees through the forest

The bee ate all the honey

It’s no longer funny

But you say there’s hope in the sky

Will it shine like a pretty sunrise up high?

I forget every worry

It erases every why

The review mirror is no longer blurry

And the traffic isn’t in a hurry

You need the fruits of the Spirit now

Where joy, peace and patience you allow

You shine like stars in the night

Memories that make you go wow

Stubbornness and pride will take a final bow

Love is Stronger

Love is stronger than prophecy

Or supernatural tongues you speak

God is in the midst of you

But give Him your love first

You wonder where He is

You strive with such force

Things go from better to worse

Do you realize freedom can come

As soon as you rest some

Let go of your need for understanding

Trust the One who we can’t comprehend

His love is real compared to the world’s pretend

All He wants is your love and a “Amen”

Solace and Forestry

Anyone else afraid?

Am I just going out a limb?

Is that why animals hide in trees?

To make the night end faster?

When the sun goes dim

The gloomy meets with the distraught

Because misery loves company

If there is some intruding danger

I want the twigs and leaves to enclose me

Solace is found in forestry

Love is What You Make it to Be

Love envelopes like a soft embrace

Did you already forget?

Because there’s too much at sake?

There’s charm in the air

Beauty like a rich sunset

Love is what you make it to be

Dying Beauty

Why do all my words seem empty?

Like stale bread?

Overcooked and needs to be thrown out

I tried reasoning with you

I open my mouth

And move my head

The words are few

There are no guarantees

I love you more than you apparently love me

I feel like a expensive painting in a deserted museum

The painting is peeling and ripping

I miss you as a friend

But did I cause your limping?

The exit is your only freedom

Is this the way it will always end?

I guess dying stars still have beauty

Better Days are Coming

When life ebbs and flows to the shore
Like a caressing substance of hope
Do you implore?
Looking for the wider scope?
The wider scope of resistance

Answers come and go
But why fret?
You need to go with the flow
Let go of regret
The regret of the past

I used to want to know everything
Now I am happy in the sunlight
With evergreens and birds singing
There’s a battle in the day and night
A battle for control

Will you hold to your self?
And forgive more easily?
Bitterness dries up the wealth
Do you believe me?
Believe me, better days are coming

Footsteps in the Garden

Idle talk

Can you walk the walk?

Some days are strange

Can’t handle the change

Bad fruit on the vine

But I say I am fine

Pluck the weeds

To cover up my greed

And idle hands

And unmet plans

God, where are You?

Will you make my heart anew?

I hear your footsteps in the garden

I hope my heart doesn’t harden

But I am scared

And underprepared

But You say, “I take you as you are”

I will be with you no matter if you travel far

More Christian Encouragement

My identity is found in God, not in this world!

As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. John 15:19 NIV

The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever. 1 John 2:17 NIV

God is love and the greatest love you will ever know! Love can be wonderful here on Earth but it compares little to a Heavenly type of love!

Belief is so vital to God answering prayers and sometimes its God’s sovergnity to just answer prayers! Just look at Gabriel telling Mary she will concieve the child Jesus! It was God’s sovernity!

The angel Gabriel told Mary, “‘For no word from God will ever fail.”

”I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.”

Luke 1:37-38 NIV
