You Must Be a Friend To Have a Friend

Why am I alone you always say
You have to approach someones heart each and every day
Be there for them whether there well or ill
Have there back and give them the will
laugh with them until it hurts inside
Be there through the rough patches until the turn of the tide
Give them your warmth if they ever shiver
Hold them close when they cry a river
Maybe you wonder why you have no friends at all
You must reach out to help them when they stumble and fall
Give them all of yourself until your soul does rip
Then you'll know the true meaning of friendship
Confide and trust them dont lie or pretend
You must be a friend to have a friend

Premium Member Cold Moon

on a winters night
the cold moon 
magically casts spells
casting silver shadows
in her cool light 
crystal clear 
into deep waters

one falling star
shining dust trails 
winking sparkles
mixing lonely potions
with interwoven emotions
love powers feelings
wishing the heart away
dazzling magic kisses
embraces her light

sweet music plays
nestled in a field
of deep echoes
written upon
stone  foundations
on the hill
of forgotten dreams

golden ascending greatness
opens the heart door
awakening love
a star shining
magically alone
into one dream
dawning this night 
spent alone
snows upon reality
looking down wamly
a cold moon
this Christmas

Premium Member Quittin' Time

Seemed like eons to Pa since he began another daily grind.
The more he tried to stay ahead, the further he got behind!
The boss harassed him all day long - nothin' at all went right.
"Lord, have mercy!" he prayed.  "Relieve me of my miserable plight!"

First, he botched a simple job on his drillin' and planin' machine,
Causin' him chagrin and agitatin' the boss, who made a scene!
This blunder brought work on the line to a three hour cessation,
Causin' the boys in the front office very little jubilation!

Pa ate his balogna sandwich alone avoidin' the hostile bunch,
Thinkin' ill of Ma who forgot to pack a Twinkie for his lunch!
He mused, "Help me through this day without gettin' fired, Lord!
Only twenty years 'til retirement - an axin' I just can't afford!"

He gave his all that afternoon, aware he'd blemished his career,
Heedin' details and avoidin' the boss whenever he came near!
He waited for the shift to end, the siren to sound quittin' time,
And gettin' home to his lovin' clan and much needed peace sublime!

Quittin' time finally came and he joined the fleein' herd.
Met by his adorin' brood, they asked him what that day occured.
He hugged and kissed each one, answerin' with a puckish smile,
"Oh, nothin' much, 'cept the plant was idled for quite a while!"

Premium Member At the Name of Jesus Every Knee Shall Bow - Philippians 2: 9-11

God as our heavenly father reigns
for He is God alone like no other
His son, God has exalted high above
for Jesus is God, to look no further

God's only begotten son Jesus Christ
has received from His father a name
one that is above every other name
to be high overall fulfills God's name

At this great and awesome name of Jesus
every knee in heaven, earth, and beyond
shall bow before Him who's God's son
knowing His greatness, they will respond

Then every tongue in heaven and earth
will without any doubt surely confess
that Jesus Christ himself is Lord
so God be glorified in holiness

This is promised in the future
that every eye will see the King
dressed in purity full of glory
all the saints forever will sing

(" Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name,  so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,  and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.")
Philippians 2: 9-11 (ESV)

No Body Wanted

Raised in the darkness, by the heart of men,
the selfish ways, in which I begin.
 I walked in the ignorance, of my own heart, you see,
never understanding, where the line may be.
 I did as I was, I was exactly what I had did,
not knowing or seeing, how the darkness hid.
 I left a path behind me, just to leave the scene,
all my messes, that others had to clean.
 I ran wild, for I lived out on the street, you see,
when I was 13, I ran away, nobody wanted me.
 All alone in my darkness, I had no one to care,
as with that darkness, my life I began to share.
 I knew no better, for it became my shield,
as I found myself, to the darkness yield.
 I became whatever I needed to be,
as that darkness, continued to swallow me.
 I had no care, no love, no remorse, the darkness I became.
when thats all you know, there is no more shame.
 I thank my Father, who is God you see,
if it weren’t for Him, darkness I would still be.
 He gave me mercy, love, forgiveness and peace,
the light came on, caused the darkness to cease.
 I was made whole, and left with stories to tell,
how our words, actions, and deeds, can drag us through hell.
 What we say to others, makes a difference you see,
words should be spoken, with love, not hate and misery.

Premium Member On the Scrapheap

Oh in the early days you couldn’t wait to get your hands on my curves
Now I am getting older, you simply don’t want to know

The times you got my motor running
How you loved to get me all fired up
Engines firing we went the full distance

Suddenly you lost all interest in me
Cashed me in for a younger prettier model
Ruthlessly you cast me aside, left me all alone
All I need now is a bit of love and affection
Put some polish on my bumpers and I’ll be raring to go
How I miss you being part of my life
Even after all these years I still pine for you
Abandoned when I still had so much left to give
Past my prime, now I’m on the scrapheap of life

We Are the Light

Be the light. We are the light.

We are the light 
By Michelle Morris
17/11/2020

In their eyes you may be incomplete 
as they seek out the shiny baubles and squeak of shallow vessels and find them not wanting, 
despite human nature being peacock taunting.

By their lips they may ululate, 
the wars and strife who souls duly break, 
but of you they may scorn 
for you break the mould by quiet storms.

In their eyes you may be incomplete 
for human beings have clay for feet;
we hurt and claw and crash and burn,
slaughter and fight against, and turn.

By their lips they may not celebrate your existence born by fate and choice;
for those who have the highest climb 
must do so alone with no solace or voice. 

We are the ones: The leaders and saviours of the undeserving masses who would not give us the light of day; but we are the Light and He sees all, and those humans remain very small in comparison to the universe's thrall - 

Our crown of thorns transmuted 
victoriously to glorious gold;
Our enemies defeated for good 
as we claim saved souls.

Bff

Last year, when I came in a bit late,
I lost all my hopes, though you didn't mean it. 
I didn't know that you didn't know,
but there wasn't a hard feeling, not one. 
But then, you came to stand by me,
and that feeling you gave to me...
it still remains, unchanged. 

We changed, all of us together, 
now we're a hard wall
that cannot be offended. 
Our foundation laid, thick and fast,
from  one look to holding hands. 
I never thought, 
it would be this powerful. 

Words are too weak for the feeling you gave me. 
But I mustn't forget my thanks.
You had built a shelter 
for my innocent soul to live,
and though one day... I'd have to fly away,
I shan't forget that roof, which you still holds by me.

*For Hamna, Rabiha, Ruqaiya, and Nelee - with whose frienship I live my day. They were the first people (other than my family) to make me assure that I'm not alone and also the ones who made me feel touched by their friendship.

                                                    In maturity and freedom
                                                        Away from hassles

                                                   Straight from the heaven
                                                    Full of beauty and truth
                                                  You are solace embodied 

                                                      Even the cool breeze
                                                        And drops of dew 
                                                      Feel shy before you

                                                        Your soulful eyes
                                               Remind me that I am loved
                                                     I want nothing more 

                                                     My lips fear to speak
                                                   I wish I am lost forever
                                                   In your loving shadow

Premium Member Come and Find Me In My Solitude

None knew who or what, how or why, nor how long;
But something or someone must have taken him there.
From an environ of community, gaiety, and hilarity,
Jack found himself alone and locked in a cell of solitude.

Some attempted to aid in his escape, but even he refused the bait.
“It’s been weeks since he bothered to shave”, said his brother Jimmy.
“This kind of isolation can lead to an early grave”,  said his sister Jill.
“There has to be a reason for the way he behaves”, concerned ones said.

Both family and friends dared repeatedly to draw near, but it appeared              that he withdrew and became ever more comfortable with the cave. 

Jack was not the defensive type and rarely spoke.
But suddenly, it was as if from a deep sleep he awoke.                                   That was the unforgettable day that they all heard him say,                           
“I know that you love me, but please, just go away.
I must have quiet, an escape from the noise.
I delight in being just a tree in the forest.
Do you not agree that it’s my choice?
You need not worry about my attitude;                                                    just look to always find me in my solitude”.
