A strong desire to keep going in life, to learn all I can in my writing journey
She’s going away on a vacation!
The anxious train awaits her at the station.
Flight, is plainly not her thing.
She doesn’t want to perish,
And in pieces to God, her body bring?
It is time to leave her family behind.
Those who care for her and are so kind!
But they need not think of her anymore.
Bags, packed, she stumbles out the door.
Her vacation train leaves at past four.
It’s been decades since she has been free!
Actually, to her, seems like an eternity.
And what of her poetry, what will she do?
Stop all the pondering and enjoy life, too!
Will she let others know how she is doing?
I think, for once, she will be out wooing!
Romance, ah, bring it back to her in bundles!
She has been to her family, nothing but troubles.
Her Father in heaven, will watch her every step.
He has, since she the moment she was born,
And that is, my friends, as good as it gets!
Bid her farewell, give back her wings, oh!
She’s dying for adventure, it runs in her blood.
Or...did you simply refuse to know?

What and who is this almighty God?
He has no beginning and is everlasting
consider what His word says of His person
His son Jesus reveals Him in everything
God is real with a powerful effect
for He speaks in His authoritative word
this word can cut us to the quick
so thorough that our souls are stirred
The Lord God Himself makes us hunger
giving us such desire upon Him alone
for only God can really truly satisfy
as in Jesus whose sacrifice did atone
Without receiving the real spiritual drink
we faint with thirst for that cup
Jesus alone fills our parched soul
then we know His way takes us up
Are you in contact with the real thing?
is it just religion or is Jesus real?
look deep for evidence of a genuine touch
be sure you've found the divine seal
(Quotation: “We can know if we have encountered the real God if we are deeply hungry and thirsty for him. The sense of his absence, the dissatisfaction with his absence, is evidence that he has touched you.”
- quotation by Tim Keller (1950-now) Pastor and Minister.)
Thirsting For Water From A Deep Well
can Love hold this expanse
art painted into life's worn trails
sweet dreams casting passion's might
reality, decay
sad futility of false hope

Note: I was asked to write and provide a poem using number (2.) choice-
(a comparative thought). This is my interpretation using that and quenching
a bit of my own poetic thirst.
Lately I've been crying more than often.
The more I think about my past, the more
I want to scream. They say they love me
But leave me dry. Sounds like selfishness.
I'm young, what am I supposed to do?
I need you, you forget me and now I'm
Left to depend on where you came from.
How could you forget your own child?
How could you leave me in the dark?
Why wouldn't you make your life better
For the both of us? No, it's all about you.
It always has been. Keep on living your life.
I'll be away as usual and you'll be where you are.
Always sorry, always wanting to start afresh and we
End up right where we were before.
You don't love me,
You love you.
Thirsting Heart Beats
By Nate Spears
Published 2013 in “Death OF A Rose” By Nate Spears
During a moment in your deepest desires
do I ever cross your thoughts in mind
for rehire,
while you’re clutching on your sheets of fire
cold and lonely
wanting to hold me
throughout the night
awaking into several dreams of a separation
without me
in your life
This is bought to a reality
by a lack of understanding
of a heart given in entirety
my love, my compassion, my good times
you insisted it was all a lie
I never claimed a proclamation of perfect
I’m wrapped in your bundle of hurting and burdens
from opposed late love
bad decisions
hoping and wishing
that all is not lost
in the cause of two wrongs
that were never made right
giving no guarantees
so what we adore
is always subject to a slip,
beneath our feet and on the way down
we reach a thirsting heart
that beats loneliness.
Majesty of God.
Answer to deepest longing.
Yearning for Heaven.
