Premium Member A Leaf In the Wind

Like a leaf in the wind
Floating through this realm of time
Whither I go, this knowledge eludes
And 'though I know who bloweth the wind
At times my troubled heart does quake
Over rugged mountains, through raging storms
Tossed and battered against lofty walls
Too high to scale or infiltrate
When strength is wane and hope is dim
Questions abound as to why here and now?
All left unanswered, without a clue
So best to withdraw and heart be stilled
Live reliant upon His will divine
With prayer a constant upon my lips
In solitude and peace, my spirit blends
Carried here like a leaf in the wind

Listen

Be not lonely

Nor shed a tear

I hold your hand

I am spirit you

Not of flesh

Your soul

Allow me through

I open my heart to you

Faith is my existence

Have faith, my best friend
 
So my wisdom can wash over you

I was, and always will be here for you

Open your heart
 
Allow my ocean of wisdom

To wash over you

For in your heart
 
Every question is answered

Peace, love and serenity

I am your best friend

Love me
 
Love yourself

Establish love

For there is our freedom

Life

Be not lonely

Nor shed a tear

I hold your hand

I am spirit you

Not of flesh
 
Your soul
 
Allow me through
 
When your heart is open
 
My ocean of love and wisdom

Will wash over you
 
And all your desires
 
Have faith
  
Will come true

You Put a Song In My Heart

You put a song in my heart
The day you were born
And when he took you away
My heart was torn.

I knew you were special
The moment you cried
With tiny features
Your destiny couldn’t hide.

With every heart beat
I prayed for more time
To hold your little body
And sing you life’s rhyme.

You were born an angel
A special gift from above
And I only had eight days
To give you all my love.

He polished your halo
And said it’s time to go
And with your hand in mine
I watched your wings grow.

You put a song in my heart
That never went away
And I still feel your love
Watching over me every day.

See What You Will,,, Be Who You Are ....

A mind that drives choices on the crossroads 
A smile that captures the hardest of hard
A voice that calls your name
I have lived a lie and my heart did deny
I take control of my inner being
A survial of time nor will I scream
A positive thought drowns all negative
I will light my own fate of destiny
As the candle flickers I will see through the darkest
I am here to believe in me
I have felt pain that breaks the heart 
I have felt passion that takes you to the next level
Even had secrets of another times
Many sides to what you see
Some may find this in me 
I will stand tall even to the ones who make you fall
My dignity will carry me you will see
I hold strength from passing lessons
Life is challenge this we know
I take the reigns of my crystal ball
For my spirit is above the clouds
I shine in mind as a child 
An innocences that finds 
As the fool card take the chances that you find
See what you will... be who you are ....

"one" Or the "other"

As ONE grows stronger
the feelings are so devine,
As the OTHER does the same
your clock loses time...

ONE feels great 
just as it should,
the OTHER causes pain 
just as burning timbers of wood...

ONE takes Faith
and Understanding for one another,
the OTHER takes control of your mind, body and soul
and your heart it will smoother...

ONE makes you smile
and eager to share your life,
the OTHER makes you frown 
and will cut you like a knife...

ONE makes you happy
and fulfills your every need,
the OTHER will make you angry
and cause your heart to bleed...

ONE will make your life worth while
and fill your every desire,
the OTHER will make you miserable
and set all your goals on fire...

I would definitely choose ONE
anytime over THE OTHER,
cause ONE gives you hope 
and THE OTHER will cause you to lose a brother...

ONE I have called 'LOVE'
with it you will become someone,
THE OTHER I called 'HATE'
it will leave you all alone...

Prayers For Lost Souls

Oh... Why can't you see
Out of God's Love
What Jesus has done 
For You and me..
Everyone.. 

Prayers for Lost Souls
May God open their eyes
To see.. What Beautiful Love
Grace and Mercy
Tis given for Thee

Twas.. a man
he so confused
Way out of hand
he said.. he wished he was dead
he said.. he had no reason to live

I then said.. but you do
Jesus is the reason
You know of Jesus?

he said yes.. I do..
I know of Jesus..
get it!!!.. I know.. Jesus!
And No!.. I will not ask him to come in my heart
and If you ever want to see me again
Stop talking about Jesus
For I not want to hear.. 
Anymore.. about this Jesus

I then said.. with tears within my eyes
Why??? brother..
don't you even realize what you just said?

He said yes... I do.. 
then he said.. Do you??? 
said.. if you keep speaking of this Jesus
I am leaving and you will never see me again

I said.. Listen.. if You don't come to Christ
You will not receive Everlasting Life
Eternal Life.. 
Jesus died for You and me.. 
For Everyone to be Saved... Free

Then he looked at me..
and said.. I am sorry sis.. 
That is it.. I am leaving..
I will Never come back
Until the day you stop talking 
About That.. Jesus.. xxxx

I then looked into his eyes..
Darkness is all I could see..
with tears within my eyes
I couldn't believe.. he refuse Jesus..

Then I said.. No.. I will not stop talking about Jesus
For I Love Jesus with all my heart and soul
Body and mind.. He Loves me.. 
Jesus Loves You.. too.. 

Then he said.. OK.. I am leaving 
I will see you later.. in time

I then said.. no.. brother.. you won't 
for in Time.. I will be with Jesus.. in Eternity
do you know where you will be? You will be in Hell..
If You don't come.. to Jesus.. while there is time

Then he left..
My heart wept.. 

Come to Jesus.. While there is Still time
Don't delay.. Time is Now at hand.. 
This maybe your last chance

My Farah-Way Friend

If I have wings to fly
Like the bright and beautiful butterfly
I will travel to an Arabian garden in the twinkling of an eye
And kiss the heart of a fair-feathered Farah-way flower

If I have light to lend
Like the bow that lights up this wide and wonderful world
I will extend my tents to the fairy-land of a Farah-way friend
To behold how wisdom wanders in her wet, wealthy world

If I have a thousand tongue to sing 
Like the saintly spirits that rings in righteous rhapsody
I will rend my heart in lovely lyrics, flowing like a sincere spring
To praise a Farah way friend that moved my marrows with her melody

The Heart of An Angel

She has the heart of an angel
A blessed gift from above
A second chance to live
Through a donation of love.

Her scars are a reminder
To treasure each day
To follow her dreams
And lead others the same way.

Her strength and courage
Are an inspiration to us all
Teaching us to believe
And always stand tall.

With a gentle smile
Her eyes shine bright
A petite miracle
With a spiritual light.

Like a pot of gold
She harbors a treasure
A symbol of life
Only a donor can measure.

She has the heart of an angel
Embracing life’s chance
Through the gift of another
Living is her romance.

NOTE:  Back in 1997, a little girl from Mankato, Minnesota desperately needed a heart 
transplant--and God didn't let her down!  Today she is almost 19 and her smile lights up the 
room when she walks in.  This poem is dedicated to her--to her strength and courage--and to 
her energy and compassion!  

Though there seems to be alot of minut controversy over being a donor, I am very proud to 
be a donor--and --I hope that one day, if somone ever needs a second chance at life--my 
being a donor will make a difference to them!

Hard Work, Success and Failure

When we look at the mouth of a warrior
We think he never sucked his mother’s breast
The birds that rest on the Iroko 
Does not know how the Iroko grew
The heart that persevered in pain
Is the heart that will rejoice with gain
Like the Hibernating hedge hog
Metamorphosing to life after winter
Whales and sharks are not found in shallow waters
The man who swims against the turbulent tides
Of deep shark and whale infested murky waters
Will get the whale oil, make a shark’s fin soup
Or wear a shark’s leather jacket
The resilient hand that never says die
Sculpts stumbling blocks into stepping stones
And squeezes water out of rock
Like a gold stone that passed through a furnace
And became the priceless gold ornament
Separating the men from the boys
The pot that wants cooked food
Must be scorched by the furious and ferocious fire
It is when the palms have been soiled by sand
That the mouth will be soiled by oil
The hand that is not soiled by sand
Makes the mouth to be soiled by sand
People like the mouth soiled by oil
Because it can also soil their mouth with oil
The mouth soiled by oil
Has many names, relatives and friends
But the mouth soiled by sand
Has few name, few relatives and few friends.

I Dream Joy

Morning flood broke cataracts of light here
My heart have wings that beat in happy skies
O stand here with me in autumn's bright mist
And feel the sunshine breaks through languid day
There's a power of love that cuddles warm
The soul with better promises of joy

There are powers that earth's despair destroy
Invested not in human fragile arm
Something to trust outside the jar of clay
Someone in whom we breathe and exist
And faith in us his fevered hope make rise
A wind against the salt upswelling tear.

I take this dawn excited with its charm
As gift to give, and as a gift to cheer
I seed all joys by grace sweet enterprise
Another coming of you, O my Christ
A final hope to fold carnal cares, lay
The mortal flesh away, and lose alloy

The hills shall skip beyond dreams and decay
And this mist bright garment before my eyes
Will clothe my warm immortality there
No guns grief will shatter the heart, my boy
The blossoms never fall, nor time shall storm
Against the fortress wherein is our bliss

So day comes harvesting my page with cries
Of glee, turning eagle's loop, as dreams buoy
The heart in skies of promises most clear
God is the author of all joy, I say.
God shall seal our hopes in a whispered kiss
And joy break forth abroad to still alarm

Then this autumn when green turns gold shall list
No dry, nor brown, nor gray in festive air
Tomorrow and yesterday passed away
You against my breast shall so snuggle warm
Your tongue with my breath tells the news of joy,
Eternity is here, stitched upon the skies.

My heart a banging bell heaps love and lay
Across the chiming dell dawn-rinsed, the air
Where I dream, flickers with stars like fireflies.

Cpr

My heart skips a beat
Whenever a door slams
My heart skips a beat
Whenever I hear footsteps

Days and nights tensely lived
Not knowing what to think
Locks on doors, windows shut
Living a life in a cringe and a shrink

Shrink from most shadows
Images of the unknown
Freezing, still, in my sleep
Waiting for what will be shown

My heart skips a beat
With an impression on my bed
Sleep disturbed, fear increased
Not knowing the thoughts that spin through my head

I live alone, so no one is there
But my mind won’t let me rest
Tightly wound, hands clinched tight
Every day, every day, spent in fright

My heart skips a beat 
Whenever I’m at church
I hear the words of Jesus Christ
There’s no fear, or any dread

My heart skips a beat
Because I feel my life is changing
Yes, I still cringe at night
Yet it doesn’t always feel the same

My heart skips a beat
I’ve learned the Father is near
As long as I have Him in my life
I know there is nothing to fear

Cringes lessen, tightness fades
I let the Lord shine His light
Sounds not heard, shadows no more
Jesus is the one to get me through the night

My heart skips a beat
I have been saved
Comforter, Protector, Redeemer

Super Imposed Part 2...Inspired By the Many Talented Poetrysoup Writers

We can speak an entire conversation for hours without a word being said
With each rhythmic movement 
We create waterfalls
Like snowflakes falling down
All around us
I am practicing my martial arts
Since first I saw you
No one will take you away from me
It was your hair 
Long, flowing, gently rising above
Your shoulders as a slight breeze
Pass through, coupled with a
coy glance sending infatuating
Permanent portraits in my brain
Subliminal mind binding must be a hobby
The only thing I can reason is you are my everything
Alone, not anymore
As I gaze in this antique mirror called my soul
I can finally dust it off 
Finally witnessing love up and close
Some may say you are just lovestruck
But does it strike so many times per day
My heart has been whipped into shape
More than these two golden rings
Before you there were none and after you there will be no more
She has me thinking beyond the now
Finally I am here, arrived at happiness point
And now my heart is pounding too hard against my chest
Threatening to take my life before I get to see twenty five father’s day ties
Bum-giddy-bum, bum-giddy-bum 
I am resuscitated
Lord, thank you for defibrillators
Now I get to spend my second lifetime with her
Without any fussing
I promise to kiss your photo a thousand times, and then walk one thousand miles 
And ride in a van filled with the Taliban 
And cross state lines 
With an illegal immigrant out of Arizona
Feet covered with sand
To prove there is no getting away from me
So, why ask am I the one?
You are my only
I have laid down the clues
I have relinquished everything
My desire for you is the length of coast to coast
You have unlocked everything good in me
There is no one else
This lady with character
I would not trade you for anything, not for a girl who calls for fun
Likes to run to the party scenes or even to play in the sun
Even if I was the sun or if 
And all the lost treasures under the seas were offered in exchange
I would not need it because I have already found a rare priceless pearl

The Alchemist

A leadened heart devoid of trust
until an alchemist came along,
turning it into gold-
Or so it seemed...
Trust, broken trust.

 
It was now a locket that held secrets,
that had a key protected by fear
Hidden in the darkness of silence-
Or so it seemed...
Secrets, imprisoned secrets.

 
There was one escape, only through tears,
tarnishing the heart all the more
Somehow encrusting it forever-
Or so it seemed...
Tears, overflowing tears.
 

This river led to the sea of silence,
and stayed there.
Eerily still, no undercurrents perceived-
Or so it seemed...
Silence, deafening silence.

 
Numbing, unwavering trepidation,
kept all those unwanted secrets safe
Weakening the heart, deeming it hopeless-
Or so it seemed...
Trepidation, paralyzing trepidation.

 
But fear also harnesses strength
and the alchemist within was the key
Breaking the silence, unlocking the secrets-
And so it was...
Strength, energizing strength.

 
This eventually led to tenacity,
tears hardening into diamonds of courage
Allowing the waves of silence to finally crash
And so it was...
Tenacity, freeing tenacity.


The heart now had a soaring spirit,
with a fire emboldening other hearts
Infinitely turning lead into gold-
And so it is...
Spirit, emblazoning spirit.

 
This thus far is the story of one heart's triumph,
written for the world to know
Giving hope and gilding hearts-
And so it will be...
Triumph, crowning triumph!

Let Jesus In

Do you know how it feels not wanting to go on?
For emotional destruction made it hard to move on
So much pain that there's no happiness
Physical and internal tears descends because of what's happening
An insensitive heart and a soul that's so weak 
My vision so blurred that my path I couldn't see
No mother, no father, no food, and no heat
As an adolescent this was the hand that was dealt to me
Lord I can't thank you enough for what you're doing for me
For you hugged my spirit before it chose defeat
For the tears I shed now I want the world to see
So they can know the love you put inside of me
Because of you Lord my existence has glory
For you made me appreciate my past, because it's only a chapter to my story
Lord I surrender so do as you will
Lord, influence every heart so they feel as I feel
For every trail and lesson, It's a blessing on the way
So when you hear Jesus knocking don't just invite him in, let him STAY
