Master Piece”
After my temple was pulverized I found myself weak
Sifting through my ruins
Salvaging the retrievable broken pieces
As I manage to stand to my feet
Placing them all in a stack
Collecting and putting them in a heavy sack
That Im attempting to carry relentlessly back up this slippery slope on my back
Now determined and ascending away from my darkest lowered levels
Im climbing into a brighter light
With revisions of greater sight
Avoiding all the hindering evil spirit devils that use to tempt me in my past life
Finally reaching the slippery slope peak
Through perseverance Ive ascended out of my grave into a new body and Im no longer weak
Death to life is what I speak
A greater daily intimate connection with GOD is what I greet
My main nourishment of assistance
That supports me to steadfastly stand firm on my feet
As I effortlessly assemble my broken pieces back together
Building from my past testimonial thesis
Equipt with the knowledge Ive obtained throughout my valley journey
Would also contribute to my display of my masterpiece completeness
Camera, lights, action, put on the set,
And start reciting everything that's been said,
A creativity junkie throwing out lines,
Mimicking characters every time,
the stage becomes ego, forgetting the heart,
The heart that mattered more from the start,
Stepping down in order not to turn,
Equipt to make a difference on this earth,
The fight is real to go with or without,
To help others while helping himself,
Forgetting self is the hardest to do,
But giving it away is the service you choose,
A piece of that heart is carried through time,
The moment God said "You became mine",
Fight the good fight, speak heart and soul,
Living the love we were brought to show,
how can you love wholeness, when your not whole within?,
the answer behind this is HE looks past your sins,
from changing "I" to "We" you now can see,
all of HIS grace is sufficiant for thee,
man's words are only part of the soul,
to learn more of this as you get old,
resting is momentary, in time to heal your soul,
man doesn't need proof of this part of loving to show,
as trust in HIM is gained, it's relied upon more,
the practice of the heart standing still in the midst of the storm,
for it is not a physical action in this moment of peace,
in HIS timing, each kind is released,
a time for everything under the sun,
a time to sit, a time to run,
fluckuating back and forth, sometimes quick changes, quick demands,
in following HIS spirit to understand,
a quick response to change can equipt us for more,
this flexibility comes from the Lord,
knowing when to be silent, the balance of the heart to be ingrained,
through love as faith moves, in the end no real mistakes,
just a deep love, a deep trust, through faith to believe,
it lays in the hope of the faith of the unseen,
for this is how i learn to trust in you more,
to know this love i cannot physically see is the basis of more...
One day warm; next day cold,
A life time place once my home.
The out-skirts barrier looking in
stand dazed and confused....
A broken heart cry's no one
listens I step away from the only
one thats true...
She'll continue to weep knowing
she's not adequately equipt by
facing this world alone is not enough.
A child now looks for comfort to
A stranger's eye! trust that I will be
safe to return to walk these streets
where I was once special to heart,
I'd hoped to salvage consequences of
action to face my maker.
I love experiencing all our firsts,
The first time you walked me to my car,
underneath the shiny stars.
mmmm our first kiss,
And how I couldn't wait 2 taste your lips.
The first time we made love,
so confident and equipt.
Never took our time for granted,
we were thankful for this gift.
The first time you stayed till morning,
had me taken by surprise.
To wake with this hansom man,
was all worth my wild.
The first time we had a fight,
And saw who we really are,
We still made the decision to love each other,
till death do us part.
The first year of first holidays,
we spent building what we have.
To turn our loved ones into family,
And continue on our path.
The times we feel were worlds apart,
you'll always have my heart.
And now to have you in our lives forever's just the start.
