Inspired
Crystal Freda May 2018
To be inspired,
look to the sky.
To be inspired,
let out a good cry.
To be inspired,
look at nature around.
To be inspired,
think when you're bound.
To be inspired,
think out of the box.
To be inspired,
take peaceful walks.
To be inspired,
let inspiration come.
To be inspired,
let your imagination run.

Make a wish...
Crystal Freda May 2018
Make a wish...
she blows
and watches
the delicate bristles
dance to the sky
where all her daring hopes
and prominent dreams
can become true...
Crystal Freda May 2018
Waiting for the sun,
but all we get is rain.
It peeks through one day
and the next it storms.

Its a lot like life.
Waiting for the good,
but all you get is pain.
Every chapter repeats.

Rain, rain, rain,
can bring flowers,
, but can also bring floods.
Life is full of flowers and floods.

black and white
Crystal Freda May 2018
black
and
white.
we flutter
together.
never
forsake
or
leave
each other.
we are
forever
in flight
just as
we are
in
black
and
white.

She was once me
Crystal Freda May 2018
Her braids behind her head
flew with the steady breeze.
She rode her bike on her block
and she would climb trees.

Her bare feet were covered in dirt
wearing her checkered brown dress.
She would eat ice cream on her porch
and she had hope for the best.

She had a creative imagination
playing in all different ways.
Playing with dolls and dirt
would occupy her days.

She is grown up now
and if you look in her eyes
you will see it is me
and how time flies.
Crystal Freda Apr 2018
Red roses tickled her nose
as she walked across the plain.
The sun shines as her face glows
and is melting away her pain.

The sky was a majestic blue
which made the roses more vibrant.
The trees were shady as they grew
and shadowed her like a tent.

Her hair golden from the sun
and her dress red like the rose
She sat as nature took its run
and the rose continued to tickle her nose.

wishes
Crystal Freda Apr 2018
far beyond

she looks to the moon

thinking deep thoughts

about this mysterious lune.

she wonders

if the moon could be wished on

instead of a star

and would it take long?

Such Love
Crystal Freda Apr 2018
It baffles my mind every day
that someone would die for me
in such an excruciating kind of way.

I think of it all the time
how this man could show love
as such a beautiful sign.

How His loving hands covered in blood
could evaporate our sins and shame
so we could be loved.

We will always remember this one man
who died on this Easter day
loves us more than anyone can.

Seasons the same
Crystal Freda Apr 2018
Her long brunette hair
soaked up the tears from her eyes.
She sits on a porch alone
as time flies.

Her heart is broken
like the wilted petals of a flower.
Every time she thinks,
her spirit decreases every hour.

Spring may be here
and the glistening sun is bright,
but her mind is dark
like the cold winter's night.

She lives just day by day
waiting for something.
Wondering what that
sun might bring.

Free me
Crystal Freda Apr 2018
This earth                                    
can have you                  
drift into the sea.          
Searching,
wandering
for an answer.
When you are lost,
call on God,
He will make you free.

[ a world beyond her eyes ]
Crystal Freda Apr 2018
a world beyond her eyes
full of adventure and surprise.
one swing after another swing,
nothing knowing what it may bring.

over the horizon near the sun
placing light so fair and so young.
her bare feet in the breezy midair
not a feeling of fear, not even a care.

buildings so sturdy and tall
could not touch an inch of her at all.
she looked out to her dreams and hopes
knowing God was holding the ropes.

Denied
Crystal Freda Apr 2018
All I seem to get
is to be denied
when I thought
it was mine.

All my time
and effort
just turned into
pain and hurt.

I just want to go
and succeed
but I feel I have to
beg and plead.

Every time I try,
it doesn't go my way.
I just have to keep waiting
every single day.

Waterlily Blue
Crystal Freda Apr 2018
Rising from the water
like a fragrant cupcake.
Seeds floating in the stream
increasing from the wake.

Blue and purple
blooms onto to the pads.
Roaming and roaming
across ripples in scads.

Growth so pretty
and basin so new.
Lily so delicate
and purely blue.

I Am Who You Are
Crystal Freda Apr 2018
You lift me up
when I am down.
I call Your name
when I am bound.
and I need Your love
when I am on the ground.

I'm on my knees
crying every night.
You grab my face
and tell me it's all right.
I call Your name
with all my might.

In Your presence
I am found.
You knight me queen
with a golden crown.
I am infinitely Yours
forever and now.

Time goes by
Crystal Freda Apr 2018
You may have hurt me
but I will still love you.
It may impede,
but I will get through.

Not a day goes by
I don't think of you.
At the time,
I didn't know what to do.

I hope you think of me
every so often.
I hope you are doing well
and your life blossoms.

St. Patrick's Day
Crystal Freda Apr 2018
She lay in bed asleep
until morning came.
She woke up
just the same.

She got dressed
in her favorite red shirt.
She ran downstairs
also in her favorite blue skirt.

She said a pleasant hello
to her father and mother
She ate her cereal
next to her brother.

Enjoying her bowl,
she soon felt a bit of pain.
Just a bit to her arm.
Then she felt it again.

She turned to her brother
in an annoyed soft of way.
"What are you pinching me for?"
"It's St.Patrick's Day."

She rolled her eyes.
"I shouldn't give you a pinch"
"Why is that?"
"Because you are the Grinch."
Wrote this on St.Patrick's day.

Wake up
Crystal Freda Apr 2018
Wake up!
in your mind.
You keep wasting
wasting your time.

Live!
Live as you can.
Not everything
needs to be planned.

Speak up!
Time to be woken.
Speak your thoughts
for they need to be spoken.

Breaking heart
Crystal Freda Apr 2018
She looked to the sky
with tears in her eyes.
Pain stumbling
when she cries.
Nothing could save her
from her aching.
The pieces of her heart
kept on breaking.

A pleasing spring
Crystal Freda Apr 2018
She laid her head against a tree.
Pink petals blossomed and fell on her head.
It tickled her nose as she smelled the scarlet
and the flowers around her bloomed and spread.

Her pale blue eyes shimmered from the sun
while her body was covered by the tree's shade.
She scooped up a rosy flower gently in her hand
and tucked it in her messy braid.

Spring had arrived with all its blossoms
and she sniffed the soft aroma of this season.
She loved the colors and all the sunshine
which was all so very pleasing.

The perfect rhyme
Crystal Freda Apr 2018
When you look at the page,.
and there are no words.
Your mind is spinning.
It only disturbs.

Searching and searching
you spend a lot of time..
Your mind is wandering
for that perfect rhyme.

Sometimes it takes a while
and it stresses you out.
You have a gift for poetry
so no need to pout.
Apr 2018 · 199
If and when
Crystal Freda Apr 2018
If...
If it ever happens.
Feeling like it never will.
If...
If this can help fill...
a gap deep down.
If...
If I can stop feeling bound.
If...
Will become a when.
When...
When it does
you will be free
When...
When makes an if
a possibility.

Victory
Crystal Freda Apr 2018
I was pushed to the ground.
Beaten and bruised harshly,
but love came in one sound,
and I was no longer bound.
I had won my victory.

the moon in your eyes...
Crystal Freda Mar 2018
the moon glistened
on your eyes. .
a glow appeared
on your hand
when we touched

I looked into
your sparkling eyes.
they waved
like the moon
on the river.

our hands held
in front of
the moon.
the night darkened
and stars brighten.

A Great Artist
Crystal Freda Mar 2018
A blank canvas He had.
He grabbed his brush
with all the paints He wanted
and He was in no rush.

He grabbed a beige
and created a heart-shaped face.
Then a light brown
for strands around the space.

Long and hard He thought
but couldn't decide.
So He chose both blue and gray
for the ocean waves in her eyes.

A well rounded nose
and teeth pearly white.
So her smile could
make the world so bright.

In just a snap,
after God had painted.
The masterpiece was done
and I was created.

More than you think
Crystal Freda Mar 2018
She looked at herself in the mirror.
She wished that all her fat would disappear.
She thought she was ugly
because all she felt was chubby.

Her heart sunk when she went shopping
because she always felt like stopping.
She did find clothes and decided to try them on
but it seemed like all hope was gone.

She tried on one silky, red dress.
She thought "It fits fine, I guess."
She stepped out to look at the mirror
and say a lady sitting right near.

She signed at her image
and all she could do was grimace.
"You look amazing" someone said.
Her eyes bugged out as she turned her head.

Pushing all the negative feelings,
she finally realized she actually was appealing.
The woman smiled as she started to smile
and that smile lasted a long while.

She went out in that dress
and she totally felt her best,
but it wasn't the dress that made the part
it was the happiness and confidence in her heart.

Angels among us
Crystal Freda Mar 2018
Every miracle,
every storm,
peace is with you.
You are not alone.

When all is lost,
all hope is gone,
there is fluttering wings
above you like a swan.

Light shines
above their wings,
and sweet songs
beckon as they sing.

When times are tough,
they retrieve from Jesus
to remind our spirits
angels are among us.

escape
Crystal Freda Mar 2018
scarred
abandoned
and lost.
she tried so hard.

her heart
bleed,
reached,
scavenged for more.

alone
she played,
cavorted,
along with the keys



euphony was her
escape,
get away,
retreat from it all

What He Gave
Crystal Freda Mar 2018
He wiped our tears
so we could see.
Broke our chains
so we could be free.
Embraced us
to know it's okay.
Woke us up
to be alive another day.
Gave us words
so we could share.
Gave us hearts
so we could care.
Gave us feet
so we could walk and run.
Gave us laughter
so we could have fun.
Gave us arms
to lift Him up
Gave us His presence
to overflow in our cup.

Tears of the sea
Crystal Freda Mar 2018
Each day
she brushes them back
but they return
and slowly begin to burn.

Flowing like ocean waves
they come back and forth.
Each tear drops in the ocean
and she tries to contain her emotion.

Pain never seems to dissipate.
She was always far away
from her lighthouse in the night
while she'd searched for a light.

She drowns in her overflowing tears
and waves her hands
for a sign of safety
but she's lost in the crying sea.
Mar 2018 · 223
Raining outside
Crystal Freda Mar 2018
Rain, rain is all it does
Pour, pour it goes outside.
Indoors has become so boring.
Under my warm blanket I hide
when water is just a pouring
which is all just a buzz.

She's Here
Crystal Freda Mar 2018
Nightmares trembled in her head.
Her heart drummed and her feet raced.
She wanted the dream to end
and to stop being chased.
She screamed as she bounced from her bed.
The little girl jumped and ran to her mom.
Her face was red from streaming tears
and they dripped off her face as she tried to be calm.
Her mother wrapped her arms around her daughter
and hushed her to sleep.
Cradling her small, fragile face
and brushing her tears with just one sweep.
Slowly the little one calmed down to bed
and she lay with her on her chest.
Feeling her heart start to settle,
she closed her eyes now for a rest.

Sail away with me
Crystal Freda Feb 2018
Sail away with me
away to the distant sea.
Sail away
to the tunnels of the bay.

Sail away with me
to the ocean deep.
Let the waves flow
to the islands we go.

Sail away with me
and let your hair go free.
Sail away and on
until the world is gone.

Wandering Shooting stars...
Crystal Freda Feb 2018
Looking out the window
she wishes on a star.
Closing her sapphire eyes,
and wishing they weren't so far.

Longing that a wish
could fix problems she had.
Wondering if star powder
could erase the bad..

Shooting stars
wandering to and fro.
She watched and wondered
where those stars go.

Mining Inside
Crystal Freda Feb 2018
In a dark, faraway cave
where she was alone.
Her heart was a statue
made of rock solid stone.

Words scratched frequently
at the gray, sharp rock.
Batterings and stabs
she used this stone as a block.

Until one day the words shifted
The words were no longer hurtful and cold.
These words pounded at the rock
and the gravel turned into gold.

Never Forever
Crystal Freda Feb 2018
I want to hold you once again.
I feel our connection begin to sever.
I feel like always has turned to never.
I want us to be what we once had been.
I wish this could have lasted forever...
Feb 2018 · 168
Go there
Crystal Freda Feb 2018
Stand tall
and embrace it all.
Break every wall
and get up after every fall.

Be strong,
and move along.
Erase every wrong,
wait, it won't take long.

Take time to love,
and flutter like a dove.
No matter how tough,
you are enough.

What Nature Brings
Crystal Freda Feb 2018
Crack, crack
went her steps
on the old
abandoned track.

She gazed above
at the trees
brushing their branches
along with the breeze.
.
No sun to be seen
but at least there
were colors
other than green.

Birds nestled in nests
from the cold
as nature
is to bbehold.

God makes such
beautiful things
as we embrace
what nature  brings.

Just a Girl
Crystal Freda Feb 2018
You're just a girl
some may say.
Just someone
who has babies every day.

Just someone
who gets emotional too much..
Just an object
you think you can touch.

We are more than
just a girl.
We carry 51%
of the human world.

We stand up
with good aim.
If we fall,.
we bleed just the same.

Just a girl
should never be used.
Makes us feel
ashamed and abused.
Feb 2018 · 106
Ready
Crystal Freda Feb 2018
Life is a mess.
Everything is stress.
Getting no rest.
Just praying for the best.

I know God is doing something
and I'm waiting for what that may bring.  
Tired of life's sting.
causing pain and problems to everything.  

Life is so dull and full of pain.
I want sunshine instead of rain.
It is hard when hope is your middle name.
I'm tired of losing, I'm ready to gain.

No more failing, I'm ready to win.
No more of this life's has beens. .
Tired of asking why and when?
Just ready for life to begin.

Dark shades
Crystal Freda Feb 2018
Darkness shadowed her sight.
She thought the world was dim.
The sun always passes and fades
There was never any light.
Then she saw her sunglasses' rim
and realized she didn't take off her shades.
Feb 2018 · 172
Under that smile
Crystal Freda Feb 2018
Under that smile
lies hurt and pain.
Under that smile,
everything's the same.

Under that smile,
she trembles and thinks.
Under that smile,
everything is blink.

Under that smile,
it may seem cold,
but under that smile
she has a beautiful soul.

Live the Most
Crystal Freda Feb 2018
You only have one smile,
one laugh and one body.
You only have one life.
Make it all worthwhile.

Time goes by so fast.
You wake up every morning
for some purpose and reason
because time flies on past.

Your life is a beautiful chance.
because you only live once.
Don't let time waste.
It can be gone in a glance.

Glass House
Crystal Freda Feb 2018
Not a sliver of glass
is broken around her.
Every inch and corner
has covered the mass.

Below her as she walks
the glass breaks and cracks.
Her feet bleed
and bleed through her socks.

Only people could see her
but she could not them.
She heard their laughs and words
and her emotions began to stir.

Why does she have to stay still
and watch every move she makes?
Why does she have to hurt
and have to yell and shrill?

She wants to breathe, not grouse.
So her feet can be free
and she can be alive
out of this glass house.
Feb 2018 · 121
Master of Light
Crystal Freda Feb 2018
Master of light
glistening through the night.
Shines high above a high hill
and motions over waters never still.

Full as a giant orange in the sky
lightening as owls fly by.
Stars surround the giant light
which makes it the master of the night.

Blazing Fire
Crystal Freda Feb 2018
Dark timber thrown on the blazing fire.
The stick stirring the crackles and wood.
Wrapping yourself in a blanket
and drinking hot cocoa for a while.
Nothing could be as good.

In this Place
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
I lift my hands.
I bow on my knees.
I look up high
and sing melodies.

My heart beats for your praise
and I shout out your name.
I feel like nothing,
but you still love me the same.

My eyes fill with tears
and they fall on my face.
You pick me up
and take me to our special place.

I seek you
as you shine your light.
You keep me safe
from the darkness of the night.

I stand by You
and not by myself.
You wrap me in your arms
and I don't want to be anywhere else

Her words flew..
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
She laid on the sand
with a pen in her hand.
A notebook lay in front of her
and words quickly concur.

Her green eyes look to the sky
and she saw her words fly.
Each syllable and every note
began to sing and began to float.

The sky was full of magic lyrics
as they flew with the spirits
sailing with beatific leaven
and onward to Heaven.

Smile Today
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
You should smile today.
You should remember
how long you have
lived to stay.

Some people did not make
it to this date
but somehow you are here,
you are well and awake.

You saw the sun shine bright
when you started your day,
and you were able feel something
as you read this write.

Crystal Freda Jan 2018
she shined,

she glowed

every shimmer

of color showed.



cyan so blue,

mantis so green

press the world

so extreme.



flocks of birds,

waves of the pond

follow her presence

and moved by her wand.



her wings flutter,

and sparkles empurple

around the sky

in one large circle.



Her light glints,

and vivifying

every inch

so mystifying.
