Lift Off

Heavy relief.
Weighs almost as:
An orchestra. 
Which is nothing more.
Than splicing stuff.
Almost predetermined.
Heavily predicted.
Heavily cries out.
Heavily circling.
Heavy relief.
It ‘twas watching lift off.
Knowing they’ll turn to an orchestra of a tin can.
Instant as coffee.

The Weightless Lift

The things I carry on the shore, 
don't seem to matter anymore. 
The tired heart, the busy mind,
are all the things I've left behind.

As this mountain starts to swell,
I'm lifted from my heavy shell.
I raise my hand to meet the air
and find a peace that's waiting there.

It isn't much, a wave, a breath,
a moment stolen back from stress.
But in this rise and in this fall,
I have the Lord in my heart and that is all.

I will lift my voice

I will lift my voice
To worship you my
King
You are never alone
People of God
Lift up your hands unto my king
Sing praises to my king
He is worth To be praise
Also he is the one
That created you in his image
He is the one that gave you
The life you are living
So don't forget to give thanks
For the life he gave you
Don't fear my king
Yes my king is going to feed
You every day
AIso you will never starve
Also don't forget to pray for my king
And give thanks to my king
To the meal my king gave to you
My king have died on the cross with Pontius Pilate
The third day he rose again
My king have died for our sins


Premium Member I LIFT YOU UP --

Oh, aaaaay
 Adonai Lord master, dear me,
 if I may intercede, 
May I interject in interjection, my earnest, plea? 

 Father, God place me
Place me in, in the right direction.
Under your light.

 I lift you up,  I lift you up, I lift you up. 
 I praise your name.I raise my hands arms and eyes up.
Let it rain , let it rain, rain unto me

Hallelujah, I lift you up,
Glory, shines, I lift you up.
Dirge, requiem, highest praise,  I lament

I lift you up,  I lift you up, I lift you up. 
 I praise your name.I raise my hands arms and eyes up.
Let it rain , let it rain, rain unto me

I lift you up. I praise your name.
 I raise my hands, arms and eyes up. Let it rain, let it rain, Lord, you rain in me 
Hallelujah, I lift you up.

I shall praise you
I will rise you up
Jehovah Jireh, I lament, HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH.

Semantics

Here's my cant hear me rant...
these are not a few of my favourite things
as it makes those who say them
sound like ding-a-lings
when people preface each sentence with 'So'
respond 'That's a very good question'
in reply to my query
or consistenly repeat the words 'You know'
and 'Like' inserted arbitrarily
in every other expressed
phrase unnecessarily
leaves me thinking 'Similar to?'
then instead of 'Hello'
to others they are meeting
whether friends or strangers
think 'Hey' an acceptable greeting
yet in the English language
it's really quite the shift
when they lift a verb from a noun
one such example being 'Gift'

Lift Me Up

Lift me up
Yah, 
Take my hand and lead me on
Show me only your way 
Don’t you dear, let me go
Carry me through every trial and fear
When the cries grow louder, and my tears overflow 
Hear my cry and don’t you dear, let me go 
Remind me of who you are and forsake me not
Be my strength and light
Lift me and pull me through 
Be my Shelter and Healer
Refuge and Strong Tower
Yahusha,
Teach me to fear not 
Position me and call me by my name 
Pull me through and be my guide
Forever standing at my side


Premium Member Violins Lift Heartstrings

  
     Violins lift heartstrings       
        soar on sentient wings

     Evoke dawn’s majesty
        hint at evening’s tragedy 

     Fiddles tease out playful tunes
        Violins arrange the heaven’s moons

Premium Member The Man In The Elevator-CM

The man in the elevator, who I shall name as Paul
Was standing there rigid with his back to the wall.
As the lift started moving, I heard his loud gulp
When the lift started shuddering as it slowly moved up.

The groaning and creaking seemed to make Paul's eyelashes curl
He suddenly screamed and started to swish, swoon and swirl.
The lift quickly dropped-stopped, and restarted again
It felt like we were two yo-yos inside a tumble dryer machine.

His bald head sprouted hair, his face a green tinge, his lips ruby red
Paul's man boobs were now perk, I felt jealous and a tad bit upset. 
The lift soon settled and that's when I again looked at Paul
He was more like a Pauline and not the same Paul by that wall.

Premium Member Man in the lift CM

The man in the elevator got in on the second floor with me,
he with his wife and a strange looking dog,
the dog looked cleaner of the mangy three,
man looked like he been pulled out of a bog,

the dog took a liking to my perfume,
nibbled at my shoe and stayed by my side,
the pong from man, was like dead on exhume,
his teeth so colourful, his stare cross eyed.

I cut short journey got out at floor ten,
took stairs to my condo at forty two,
wife was bemused when door she did open,
she then turned me around to check for poo!

Lift

High above
The sky is surreal
Sunshine in the midst
Clouds all around
From daylight to sundown
A lift in the air
A seemly care
Unknown sounds
Lifted found.

Premium Member Lift Up Your Eyes And See

As the Autumn season flourishes
And wealthy colours abound
And underfoot you're crunching leaves
Of Copper and Gold scattered around
And to add to its riches,
The first frosts, Silver brings!
"Lift up your eyes to heaven and see,
Who has created these things?"

When you hear the Seagull's laughter
And the chuckle of the Hen,
Nocturnal creatures announcing their presence
Though they stay hidden in their den,
When you feel your heart take flight
When a Robin hops close to you and sings,
"Lift up your eyes to heaven and see,
Who has created these things?"

When you see arrangements of colour
That wouldn't normally work well together,
When we feel reminded of our place
By the power of the weather,
When we appreciate nature
Oh what joy and refreshment it brings!
"Lift your eyes up to heaven and see,
Who has created these things?"

We have someone to thank for this
For these gifts are expressions of love
From a person who cares about how we feel
And he's watching from above.
He wants us to find happiness
His creation soothes us through our pain,
And all Jehovah asks of humankind
Is for them to think upon his name.

( Isaiah 40:26 )

I lift my hands

I lift my hands 
To the heavens
And touch the stars
Scattered like wildflowers in a meadow
In the silence I hear
The song of planets far away
Night has fallen like a curtain
I am alone with my dreams
The earth sleeps
Here at this moment
Yesterday today and tomorrow meet
All is possible all is yet to be
Somewhere a new life is created
And now here at this moment
When the stars shine like wildflowers
And the planets sing
Hope is born in my heart

Shine

Even broken moments bow before your endless shine.

Letters Lift Me

Letters lift me 
When my world drowns
Hearing smiles in her voice
I know love exists

Cherish every minute
Days, weeks, hours
Counting as she sleeps
Waiting for her to wake

Breathing small hours
As our paths align
Brushing through our destiny
Drinking outrageous fortune

Our cores braided 
Bodies untouched
Searing blood in our veins
Heavenly tides of emotions

Transparent hearts
Hewn of fire and glass
Fusing with critical mass
An indivisible new shape
