The Clay

Scarlet dreams burn through my thoughts Whispering soft sensations of compassion Soothing my heart with feelings of hope Coloring my ideas with hues of inspiration Belief in the moments filled with gentle Appreciation for all that God has given me Azure breathes of truth that promises to Sigh through my memories to complete Prayers that I’ve been praying throughout History, intimately, intently, endlessly With a sense of assurance that all will be Blessed by the One who is eternally with me Emerald seas purify my heart’s embrace, Caressing me with pledges of sure faith Vowing to bring me wisdom and strength Securing the genuine aspiration that lives And flows from my veins, bleeding heartfelt Reveries of lasting feelings that feed grace Amber sunsets brighten the dusk skies Capturing melancholy on winds of insight Shading the moon with flavors of life’s joy Imagining devotions that will always provide A sense of purpose and fidelity to the heart Wise sparks that fire gratitude’s warmth Lilac laces its way through the stars and moon Quivering with delight, precious charms inside Which move through the naked skin to entice Gentle pleasures within, waves of confidence Flowing through the layers of silky vibrations Entwined with a dance of praise to the Deity Gold gladdens the weary heart with music Notes imprisoned in the breath of nightfall Living on the edge of tomorrow and misting The mountain ridges with sweetest pleasures Silence beckoning throughout the murmuring Sound of a melody satisfying the hungry spirit Silvery threads of brilliant light blushing with Clouds of mystery which intends to plead innocent To the charges of worry that have gripped the soul With endless pain and sorrow, misguided doubts That leave the mind looking for the answers Praying for the second chances God grants us Clear, flawless rumors of angels watching over The one who fears or regrets the past mistakes Keeping the gospel within reach of the one who Knows the answers are there in the prayers that Speak to the Creator with worship and praise Adoration that honors the One who formed us, the clay!
