Steadfast Poems | Examples

The Key of Eternity

Beloved flame, my faithful, fearless, fiery flame,
No fleeting face can steal the light I claim.
Your light and shadow guide my night and day,
Though distance tugs my heart to drift away.

If ever faith should falter, love would break,
Yet though you turn another path to take,
If silence falls, the bond dissolves to dust,
My arms remain a harbor you can trust.

And when at last our parted souls unite,
Like rivers drawn into the waiting sea,
I'll meet you in the tender, fading light,
And greet the dawn that sets your spirit free.

Though kingdoms crumble, stars themselves may flee,
Love's golden key unlocks eternity.

I am the hush before a winter dawn,
moonlight cloaked across a sleeping field.
I catch the sun in quiet particles,
mirrors of truths you never thought to hold.

I am the glint in a falcon’s eye,
the frost that seals an unspoken vow--
quiet , steadfast,
yet quick to strike into light.

Patience Allied with Perseverance

“With patience and perseverance
We can win the hardiest race.”- By author
**************************************************************

                                     Patience and Perseverance

                            On the journey of life when we embark
                              Let patience allied with perseverance
                         Be the lighthouse, our path to lit with spark
                           And permeate our spirit with endurance;

                       When wilful whirling winds waft down our soul
                            Let us not yield to dark clouds of despair
                         But forge ahead steadfast towards our goal
                            Without a single shaggy seam of scare;

                           Let`s not try the hilltop at once to clinch
                             As we may tumble down a dizzy slope
                        But, move forward step by step, inch by inch
                           With patience and perseverance to cope;

                      With patience we earn the Lord`s divine grace,
                          With perseverance we win the tough race.

In Pursuit of Dreams

Dreams fade not away;
Our active efforts bring us
The crown of glory.

STEADFAST

An acorn in the ground growing
A mighty river flowing

The sun rising each day
It shines and lights the way

Starry stars in the sky at night
Dreamy thoughts of taking a celestial flight

The steadfast beat in your chest
A reason to keep going and do your best

Steadfast

Staunch is our Lord, friend anywhere,
True friend, like jewel, precious and rare,
Everlasting blessings guides,
 Accept true love at our sides,
Devoted to leading to divine,
Founded great faith, yours and mine,
Acknowledge each human race,
Steady path, His immortal face,
Trust God's bridge to mortal grace.

Steadfast Love

STEADFAST LOVE


Chaos
silence
my spirit leaves
to fly beyond
the desolate need
nonchalance
complete
of jeweled light
where darkness, despair
has left my side

Sweet breath of wisdom
and lessons fair
gather in solace
where pain not dare

I greet this rhapsody
as if to know
that eternities fire 
in him bestow 

To touch my soul
to him beloved
in luster
a flight
of steadfast love

Steadfast In Doing Good

There are things in life
That darkness overshadowed light
No matter how much you paddle and paddle
And you feel you are sinking
You still have to try to do good things to other
Don't worry cause darkness is just temporary 
It may triumph but only for a while
And if we endure trials and remain steadfast
Life is so kind that the situation may reverse
Positive outlook in the midst of adversity 
Happen for a reason, in the end is good for us
It's beneficial may both financial or spiritual in the end.

Be Steadfast

Keep steady life
Change is the only constant
In this world; be strong.

The Steadfast Love Of The Lord - Psalm 33

Make melody always to the Lord
with praise to befit the upright
a lover of righteousness and justice
God's steadfast love is full of light

The Lord in His power made the heavens
even the waters are put in a heap
be sure to stand before God in holy awe
consider His majesty, moves one to weep

All the nations God brings to nothing
for God's counsel forever will stand
the blessing of God comes on those
who know God's hand upon their land

Looking down from heaven God sees man
on His throne He sees all of the earth
observing each and every deed
the Lord alone can bring new birth

The Lord is our help and shield
for we trust in His holy name
His steadfast love be upon us
we hope in God forever our aim

Psalm33

Time Is Steadfast

People change from time to time
But time does not change for a dime
Time is money, that’s the slogan
Time is a serious and stalwart weapon
People change every hour of the day
But time remains steadfast everyday
Every hour, every minute and every second
Time has no hand, yet it is in high demand
People die every day, as more are born to die
This is the truth; I cannot tell a lie
Live and enjoy every second of the day
Because time is always slipping away
Time does not give change
People die and change all the time
That’s fine; that’s not a crime
Time possesses an unflinching range.

Mirror the Steadfast Biro

Except in the darkest room
In it a figure would loom:
No time to cameras zoom,
Present as clean: filthy room…

Does capture like a good pen
Pimples up to painful ten,
All the smoke-stained teeth of Ben
And proves not the cock a hen…

Mirror: the Steadfast Biro
Misses out not feared terror:
Things which mortify Sarah,
Even a typing error.

Eyes which had ceased to taste sleep,
The ones, no alcohol, weep,
Pairs upset by an old jeep;
Men who don’t sow but do reap!

A failure to watch one’s weight,
A leaving of things to fate:
One who’d for casual sex wait;
Also, who shall become great!

Steadfast Sinking

I can’t feel my knees.
I’m moving in earnest to stay afloat, yet
I can’t stop my heart.
Palpitations oncoming like waves in a tsunami, and
I can’t catch my breath. 
I’m breathing as if it’s my last breath alive, but
I feel everything.
The weight on my shoulders, the water filling my lungs, so
I freeze.
Is time wandering without me, or
Am I drowning?
I feel everything all at once like a crash of a wave, but
The receding of the tide fills me with hope until the waves wash it away.
I am not okay.

Steadfast

This is a revised version of one of my previous poems on 'Friends'. 

Friends are like gems precious, 
rare to find, pure and gracious;

Friends are like butterflies charming, 
cheerily fluttering in the garden of our lives, 
persuading us to positive perceptions, 
with their wings of hope gleaming;

Friends are like glossy stars, steady and bright, 
embossed perfectly with their yellow-white, 
to the dreary dark velvet of our minds, 
adorning them with eternal sparkles of light, 
inspiring with their deep insights, 
each one unique of it's kind;

Friends are like the filled pages
of the year-end autograph book, 
filling our minds with myriads of memories, 
as its letters of teen fragments eagerly you look -
a glow of warmth reflecting in your smile;

Friends are like the poetic picture prompts, 
waking up our slumbering souls
with creative instincts anew, 
to pen fresh verses on 'Life'.
