Poised

Think
don't flinch
muscle poised
hold firm, steady
then release quickly jump at the ready.

Premium Member Hold firm resolve

Hold firm resolve, to remain still, gentling thought, word and deed, that thus by relinquishing will, we let love take the lead. Awake dear heart, awake Be tranquil like a lake Our soul’s growth is at stake If we’d evolve Hold firm resolve

Spring Light

Year’s end beckons now
Sorrow and sadness lie deep
Like snow, melts in spring

A new season calls
Awakening spirits fresh
Buds of new life hope

Breaks the earth leaving
Winter behind, memories
Cast in spring light

Nourished with love strong
Roots hold firm in wind and storm
Flowers blooming new

Love

LOVE

Lean on me for I am strong
I grasp the meaning of love
I am able to loan my strength
To pull from within and above

Hold firm with a desire
To fight this war with fire
Go forth, hold on to my hand
I will not fall, I will stand

Words so full of purpose
In sickness and in health
Love that goes the distance
Therein lies the wealth
Form: Lyric

Premium Member Zero

Though, by me, I am nil,
Added in right I make people feel coolly fine,
I'm zero;

I hold firm till,
I stretch numbers far beyond nine,
And grow;

Each bill,
Pass through my line,
Fast.

Though, by me, I am nil,
I stretch numbers far beyond nine,
Fast

Waking

The sparrow clutches the worm 
Firmly
And sings the morning
To waking

And I hold firm to my faith
That I shall not die again
Not after the drums
Have warmed my heart

The sun filters into my hut
And pierces the sleepy head
With sudden mystery
A mysterious fortune- a new day!

So I awaken
And reach for the nectar
That was the unbroken dreams 
Of last night.

Premium Member A Vine in Winter

Withered wishes
lick the sap of spring
and loose all they've held,
except all that dared to
winter in a heart
that clings where hope's
tendrils grow tired and
      brittle

and still ~ in their final
vestige of existence,
braved the relentless frosts
   and hold firm,
even in their death,
the supple youth that will
bear the fruits of
   another season...

Premium Member Murky Waters

This murky water you must tread
The many days you have come to dread
Will only last for a time
Hold firm to your faith and hope in God 
Tomorrow brings a new day
The sun will arise the wind will blow
Whichever way it will 
Stand strong in faith and have no fear
He has been to your future my dear


To my PS Family members going through a rough time! God bless you and give you peace!

Friendship Blessings

Serene blossoms of friendship
Aging smiles know no distance
Yellow roses cascading down
A trellis of memories cherished

Memories of vibrant younger days
Rainbows formed after some rains
Waterfalls of wisdom sparkle beneath
Rocks hold firm from lessons learned

Gratitude continues to fill hearts
Braids of friendship still entwined
Golden years hold future blessings
As vastly measured ties abound

Premium Member Beyond Every Frame

I’m not for every eye to see,
a quiet truth that lives in me.
Steady in heart, grounded and whole,
I guard the light within my soul.

I may not bend to each demand;
my roots hold firm where I stand.
Through scars and stumbles, I claim the road,
guided by courage to bear the load.

If I don’t fit the world’s tight mold,
I’ll shape my life with hands untold,
for I’m not bound to every frame,
and what I am won’t fear the flame.

Precious Rib

I languished in pool of pains
I sat the brook of tears
Oh my rib; do I submit to creed?
The tribal bridge couldn’t have barred me
Look up oh precious rib
Behold the serene climate
Stand firm oh rib; hold firm
Sail the stormy ship with me
I saw the cloud assembled
So I became resolute to walk the rain
Does that mean you never saw it?
The range land is near
Break the cord of tribe and creed
Weary not your heart
Stand firm oh rib; hold firm

Premium Member The Unveiling

I was told
My tears were crock tears.
Injured wounds
Bled and cried inside

Still I heard:
You and I are free
Held by three:
You, me, spirit

Who is it?
Gender fabulous
Gender blind
Hurting womankind?

Cast a smile
No crowd a frowning
Clear your mind
Hold firm to winnings

Take fresh breaths
Take no hostages
That last breath
Will be of courage

Murderers
Called out by The Source
Serves one Force-
Redeeming our lives.

Beyond

I thought I was beyond it
 grasping I tried to hold firm
 as each thread passed
 through my fingers 

but my art held fast
 pinching my arms
 numbing my fingers
 itching at me
 
awoken from nightmares
 sweat rolled from temples
 a hollow reed in the dark
 had begun to sing
 
seducing me long into night
 my hands bled
 and spilling my blood
 I made the lines ring
 
in the back of beyond
 I found myself bloody
 weeping of the black
 bleeding out poems

Premium Member Exiled

Exiled

Marble and steel walls
Hold firm phantom barred captivity
Knowing but empty space now
Amidst the imagined visitors

How suffocating this lockup
This prison of laser-beamed bondage
Rendering ghostlike existence
Void of its creators touch
Living with but posthumous memory

Passion of suffering
Continues its origin of pain
Shrill its captured moment
Frozen its anguish forever

Living on concealed
The Scream hangs silent
In dark gilded confinement
