Short To A Higher Place Poems

The hurt of conflict
Lives held in a higher place
Like stars twinkling
Beyond the blue horizon
Leaving earthly pain behind!

From a higher place
Fall streams of tranquility
Moving still waters

I Don't Know What It Is About You
But Every time I See Your Face My
Mind Escapes To A Higher Place. 
There Nothing I Can Say To Make 
You Understand Why i Feel This Way.
Because The Truth Is I Don't Understand 
It Myself. But I Know It Makes Me Feel So
Close To Home That I Wanna See Your Face
Everyday....

Be the Rock, for them to cling-to; those who are lost in raging river....be the shieldwall, for them that can't stand alone: against any storm, for them as cannot stand for themselves. Therein lies the true way to Volholla--the sure-footest of paths; the true stairway to heaven. Lead Me to the Rock; Lift Me to a higher place....

The flood of life bring sorrow
Mind become empty in a moment or two
Calling for perspective on the event
Almost forgot what's the most important
in that moment of time
The flood comes slowly
It kept deeper and deeper
Get out people your present was not need at that moment
Get going find a higher place
To settle down till morning.

Love
measures all
that becomes worthwhile 
in
this crazy
ever changing life 
Without truth, love perishes,
even regret can fail to change this,
so,
protect truth,
elevate its full glory
Celebrate the purpose of your life
even when this purpose is not clear to you
Search for the meaning in daily pursuits that guide you,
achieve a higher place
a valid path to grace....

The picture's edge's begun to fray, 
the colors fade away to grey

A tear appears, a wrinkle follows, 
the cheeks begin to sink and hollow

The visage seems to glow no longer,  
a sense of dread grows ever stronger

That once the portrait's begun to pale
that all's desires the next to fail

That pride once felt will leave the heart
though beauty's but one small, small part

Don't fear time's wear upon that face
true love lives in a higher place...

I dance in the sunlight 
I dance in the rain

I dance when I'm happy
I dance when there's pain

Because it frees my soul
And it lets me go
to a higher place
to a higher praise
With You ohhhh with You
that's right

I dance to remember
I dance to forget

I dance in a dream land
I dance in reality 

Because I dance for You 
And You take me there 
to that higher place 
to that higher praise.....with You

Qwerty makes us wonder: what about that uiop?
And above we have one, two, three,
and so forth and so on etcetera.

A type of thought we are forced into.
And, yes, a thought of type:
that qwerty and that uiop!

And one-to-zero looks from a higher place.
As we know, zero is one below one -
if you numerate, of course; yet it's to the right.

Is it right to place it to the right of nine?
Or should the right place be left -
the left of the place of one?
