Light Up With Joy Poems - Poems about Light Up With Joy

First Breath
That morning I prayed to flickering exit signs, to the hum of fluorescent lights, to anything that would listen in that sterile room. Then— your cry pierced the air like dawn cracking open the night, sudden and necessary, and I knew every prayer I'd ever whispered had been practice for this one moment. Your fist, smaller than my thumb, gripped my finger with the fierce certainty of someone who had...

Morning waits for His signal, His sign dew melts into the gentle petals, a story blessed by love, a story of grace a love story, broken by hearts who bleed remembering the darkest moments the distant sound of fear, overwhelming grief dawn whispers across the silent skies revealing a blessing, the sound of laughter in the trees, in the wind’s gentling sigh leaves twirl,...

Too wild, too willful, to eager to know why the girl who owned the world, but the girl was full of anxiety, the girl was alive, like a roaring fire, heated only by the hope, the desire, the dreams bursting from her spirit, singing, revealing a heart too wild, too willful, to eager to hear the love that leaves her assured she...

Will yesterday silence the night who is grief the shining story of a heart who can see beyond the fears, the tears, to sweet relief where the story remembers who I want to be, the love He offered when He came for me the love that tells me to fall down on a knee, pray to the Father who made my...

Words were spoken Hearts were broken Love soon faded Lives were degraded Feelings were hurt Poked at the past’s dirt Yes, hearts were broken Curses were spoken This is the day A time when we pray For the answers to pain Despite the falling rain The moments of grace Will we leave this place? So many fallen tears Breaking through the fears Rising, like the sun The time has just begun When autumn...

Embodying the Light
Lone 'neath the weeping willow dark,  The lies we spoke, in whispers sown, Scarred the blackened bark, That all may see and groan.  Begot in shade the woe and pains,  That climb and twist through iron roots, Forming our bondage chains Of deadly dark disputes. Speak! Speak! Cried the girls and boys, In weeping mud, and wailing rain. Alas there was...

When will I see you again… in the eternal Where we’ll elude the...

6. Fermat's Principle - Light takes the path that requires the least time when traveling from one point to another. the thin shadow, trembling against the earth the scent of a clinging leaf, crackling like the last autumn wind – against the spirit seeking hope in the melancholic drifting so that I only see, just beyond the forest’s needs relishing the...

In the details, softly playing on the heart Whispered gently – colorful and composed, Rustling winds sing, arriving to break apart Melodious rhythms, still and filled with hope, This is the moment when blessings will start Revealing the joy who comes from love’s light. ...

Stories breath light on my spirit, Silence the melancholy, reveal the gentle Listen to the voice of a grace that clings to me, From the One who sings shelter through His everlasting love. Images sing beautiful to my soul, Releasing the music – stars out of control, Promising joy, peace and so much more, From the One who lasts forever, a melody...
