Short Downfalls Poems

Rise despite the downfalls
Rise when in pain
Rise when rainfalls
Rise to gain
Rise when covered by dirt
Rise as the sun rise
Rise when in hurt 
Rise I advise the wise

And even after you rise still continue to rise...

Peace
The chaos is shedding
Piece
Of happiness is floating
Cease
The madness..chaos is concealing
Peace
Comes from the Lord - 
To Him who mends us all...
To Him who forgives all of our sins
And downfalls
And answers everyone's calls...

SNOWFLAKE

frozen yon ice drop
dust particle in the skies
rain down snowflake fall

~

downfalls rain snowflake
frost bite is the droplet
moisten frost star drop

Darkness we had
Light awaits
Life we celebrate
Death awaits
Manhood we had
Oldage awaits
Strength we had
Weakness awaits
Crowds we had 
Lonliness awaits
Friendships we celebrate 
Envy awaits
Love we had
Hatred awaits
Downfalls we had
Heights awaits

Whenever my speech simply stalls 
 meet one of my biggest downfalls;
They have been built high by curveballs;
 Forgive my walls, forgive my walls;

It’s so hard for me to confide,
I know that there’s nothing to hide; 
 It may leave me on the outside 
a bit tongue tied, a bit tongue tied....

it starts as a hurt
buried in a shallow grave
deep within the heart
where in times of pain
memories resurrect it
and it comes to life

seeking an excuse
it weaponizes contempt
and unleashes that hatred
on all those it blames
for life's failures and downfalls
oblivious as to why...

The killer that will get you eventually
is plain and simply inactivity.
This is one of the downfalls of living in a society
with all of these comforts from modern technology
which in turn promotes complacency
both mentally and physically.
Get off that couch and stop being so lazy.
Exercise that brain. Exercise that body....

I can see the stars shining 
beyond the pain of their flames
I can see the moon reflecting 
the whole love over its waning
I can see the river flowing
beneath its obstacles 
I can see the mountains growing
from the little grains unnoticed
I can see the waves rippling 
above its depths and downfalls
I can see the versions of me
in these whole little things...

Wash away corruption, precipitation cleanses our deeds,
Artesian aquifers washing, and nurturing planted seeds,
Torrential downfalls, baptize impermeable desert sands,
Eternal crystallization, fractals break the father’s lands,
Requisite of life, hydration for the soul, we sup on heaven’s bounty,
Sands and sins abated, lie awash profoundly, we drink of them no more....

Herm saw in Fee, a person who barely knew how to live
John recognized Fee’s will, she had survived childhood Armageddon
Herm focused on her downfalls, belittling her
John nurtured her potential, inspiring her

Herm discouraged most of his students, they received low grades.
John built his students up, admiring their goodness, giving A’s.
“I never have given an A,” Herm said, in a proudly weird way.
John had no words, recognizing the smallness of the man....

In God’s love*, I’m victoriously settled
Safely handled by His compassion
Against deceiving schemes causing downfalls…
Thus, I yield to Him, serenely joyous. 				
			
With the Almighty’s care is service-might
Prodding me forward in my stewardship
To bear fruits of sacrificial fervor…
Blessed by His grace in prayer-fellowship.

*Romans 5:5 …The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
