Ever Heard
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
Her heart beated with the music
as she listened to every word.
Some meaningful
and some disturb
but her heart knew
it rang with each song
ever heard.
Jan 2018 · 211
I feel...
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
I feel full
but yet empty.
Intensely sharp,
but yet dull.

I'm stable
yet unbalanced.
I feel willing
yet not able.

I feel in the dark
but yet a blink of light.
Cocooned,
but ready to take flight.

Reflection
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
She looked in the mirror
and couldn't help but fear
her own reflection.

If just then, what if the reflection disappeared?
We would have nothing to fear,
or would we?

If reflection was not here,
no more of a seer,
what would we believe?

But if there were no insight,
we won't know we are made just right,
there is not one imperfection.

Buds to Brittle
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
The sun shined upon the buds

and rain caused it to sprout.

It grew and grew

until it shot out.

The flower enjoyed each dip of rain

and every ray of sunshine.

Everything was well

until too much was out of line.

The sun became too hot at times

and rain came too much or too little.

The flower couldn't take it

and petals became brittle.

Art
Splashes of color

Searching and searching

Anything made
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
Anything can
Be made or
Created for
Delight for
Everything that
Fascinates us.
Good things can
Hold us
In our minds and
Jumps and
Kicks in our hearts.
Love can
March us into
New
Opportunities and
Part us
Quickly away from
Roads that
Subtract us from
The path.
Unraveling a
Victorious time to the
Way that
Xylographs
Your life in a
Zap.

God's Holy Fire
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
Twisted
and tangled
in chains and wire
only broken by God's holy fire.
Heavy metal
and enlarged iron
that I cannot shake
only broken by God's holy fire.
Once I am released
from the chains
that weighed on me
for the Lord declared I am free.

Step up
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
She looked at everyone around her
and all she could think was to disappear.

She knew she was alone already,
no relationships or people stayed steady.

Her heart beated alone
and started quickly turning to stone.

Only love or a helping hand
can do more than you think it can.

It can come from anyone
and that's all that needs to be done.

Just a smile or a conversation
can really change this nation.

Castles
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
My blue ocean waves
totter over your dusty sands.
We are better together
for we make beautiful sand castles.

Always rhyming
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
All I can do is rhyme
I look at things
and think randomly
all the time.
I go outside
and breath in
and see all of nature
and what more abides.
My mind is always rhyming
and I cannot stop.
I am a poet
always have been and will be.

She lived her life
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
She climbed every ridge
every step
every rock
and conquered every bridge.

She has cried many tears,
lived many days
many times
and overcame her fears.

She has lived her span
a great one,
an amazing one,
and she's done all she can.

Overflowing Salvation
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
Holy Spirit come,
let us all receive some.
Let it sprinkle and rain
and wash away hurt and pain.

God's power flows down
rushing greatly to the ground.
Flashing down on God's people,
breaking the walls of the steeple.

Overflowing through the cracks
of the wood and it never slacks.
It reaches for every heart and every nation.
Rushing in and through from God's salvation
Jan 2018 · 211
Alive
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
She's awake.
She's alive.
She's thankful
another day she's survived.
Some days
are hard to dwell
but with God
all is well.

Starry Connections
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
The moon's beam shined so far
like a giant flashlight.
It connected to every star
that glossed so bright.
The moon and the stars are tight,
that's why you see them almost every night.
Always together as one big family
in this massive nation.
Each one is shining
as their constellation.
The night sky brings an invitation
for a illuminating and glitzy transformation.

the flower crown
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
pastel blossoms
twirled and wrapped
around her head
some pink and some red.

each delicate petal
lies gently
on this rosy crown
feeling light and unbound.

every pigment
shines from the sun
a bright, pale gold,
a color faint but bold.

Whispering Snowflakes
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
Snowflakes shaking and dancing
onto the roof of the old brick house.
Prancing and lancing
toward the ground.
Each flake with a different structure
but each one is glimmering
one after another
with a whispering windy sound.
Jan 2018 · 279
Toward something...
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
Some things are too far away
and some things aren't close enough.
You are always searching for a way
to find happiness and love.
Some hearts are crying in pain
and some are beating with thrill.
Some are still hiding again and again
and some see things for real.
Always trust the Lord
because life is a crazy ride.
Keep looking toward
along with the breaking tide.

Hazing gold
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
A golden glow
glistens ever so heavenly.
Trees and leaves
with a golden flow.
Hazing in the grass
winds gracefully gusts.
Sun's shining over the land
brightly like a light brass.
Peaceful colors tilt
their fallen branches.
All around
everything is gilt.
Jan 2018 · 127
Remember
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
Look in the mirror.
Don't be afraid.
If you open your eyes,
you are beautiful.
There is only one person
who is you.
Remember that
this coming year.

Wings
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
When we were together,
we took flight.
We discovered every inch
and every sight.
Under you wing
I feet secure
until one day
our flight had a detour.
Your fluttering wings
no longer fluttered with mine.
You floated away
and my wings began to decline.
I felt scissors slowly
cut against my back
causing me to fall
and my flight lost track.
My wings were gone
as I fell from the sky.
Losing my heart
and my ability to fly.
Don't let a person define you.
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
One Christmas Eve
when I was four years old
I climbed into my bunk bed
shivering from the cold.
Anxious for Santa to come
I asked my sister if I could
crawl in her bed.
I laid on the opposite side
and lifted up my head.
Surprising my little heart
outside my window not so far.
Something I only thought was
in the Bible but there was
the shining Christmas star.
Shimmering brightly
outside my window
I watched it glitter
and I watched it glow.
It stayed there all night
on that night of December.
It was so cool to me
and I will always remember.
this is happened to me when i was little

the reading bench
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
leaning against her bench,
purple petals blossomed
and the sun shined brightly
and the grass was cut nicely

well cut bushes carried
these lovely blossoms
just so swimmingly
and the petals flew so freely

she read for a few hours
listening to the moving wind,
now the sun lowered gently
and she finished and signed sweetly
Jan 2018 · 183
the moon sparkled
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
the moon sparkled
like an angel in the sky.
it laced around the galaxy
as shooting stars fly.
night comes to an end
as dawn blossoms
like a marmalade rose
rising from the bottom.
day goes by
and night will appear again.
a lovely lunar will stream
all the light it can contain.
Jan 2018 · 187
Poets like me...
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
I think I'm different,
but maybe I'm not.
A diverse poet
but that's what I thought.
I try my hardest
to write differently
so there won't be
poets like me.

Scenic Course
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
Across the wavy seas
I see everything.
On this boulder
I stand amazed
along with the breeze.

Skies so potent and scenic,
The trip took awhile,
but I made it
and it was worth it,
but should never be repeated.

Every rock covered in green
leads to a path
and curvy roads
that leads to castles
ever so beautiful and foreseen.

Distant dust of petals
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
Under the essence

       of delicate roses

              lying swiftly and gently

                      as you're roaming

                              on your distant path

                                   leading to an unknown

                                      magical destination...

Growth
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
We all grow.
Pain may hit you,
hurt you,
but you will glow.
Every moment
of your life
you are together
or broken.
Growth puts you
where you need to be.
Hard time approach,
but you always get through...
Jan 2018 · 216
Feelings of Nature.
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
Barefoot in the evergreen forest.
Each step I feel every speck of dirt,
every strain of grass
and hear and everything at rest.

Splashing drips of waterfalls,
chirping of small birds,
and creaking of windy branches,
and the cracking of rocky mountain walls.

Each moving sound has peace around
Every whisper, ever singing song.
Closing my eyes as I listen
laying gently on the ground.
Jan 2018 · 211
Uplifting my heart
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
Petals unfold from
the sunshine you bring
into my life.
Joy and comfort open
wide as you sing
sweet songs.
My heart rises
when I hear your
uplifting voice.
I feel my wings
want to soar
as you encourage me.
Jan 2018 · 174
inside of me
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
Inside of me,
your heart is
tangled
with mine.
Inside of me,
our love is
always
divine.
Inside of me,
is full of
fluttering
butterflies.
Inside of me,
you shine like
pearly
skies.
Inside of mine,
our love will
never
subside.
Inside of me,
you will never
leave
my
side.

The gold ball
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
Glittery and gold,
big and bold,
hallow and round,
Shake it and no sound.
Shining and hanging
for all to see.
Glowing and twirling
its glitters so free.
Jan 2018 · 198
Winter's Moonlit Night
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
A magical moonlight
gazing above the misty snow.
Every snowflake glistens
as it slowly falls below.

Slow, brisk winds
now misty and cold.
All fall colors are now
light silver and not gold.

Under the moon
everything is shiny and bright.
All glowing radiantly
on this cold winter's night.
Jan 2018 · 162
Snow drips
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
Taupe limbs covered
with powdery snow
clumped together
with a silvery glow.
Harsh winds brush
each crystal mix
drops to the ground
from the taupe sticks.
Jan 2018 · 198
Writer's block
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
Her pen strayed on the paper.
Not a word to be penned
Her thoughts were blank
as with the paper would blend.

She sat and sat.
She wondered and wondered.
Her heart was trying
but her mind was plundered.

She would attempt for hours
but nothing would come.
Not even a slice,
not even a crumb.

She would eat, think,
and stressfully walk.
She couldn't find a cure
for her writer's block.
Jan 2018 · 201
Snow day
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
Snowflakes ****** on your tongue
as you dodge a snowball
that had just been slung.

Skies so dreary and gray
but in your heart and spirit
you're happy all the way.

Angel wings to be spread
and snowball fights
and joyrides on a sled.

Ever so white and lovely
as you glaze up at the sky
all the snowflakes you see.

Filled with so much glee.
A wonderful snow day
this has turned to be.

The Raven dancer
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
Her raven black hair
would shake and fly
as she danced
happily, happily by.

Her bare feet
steeped and wiggled
as she played her drum
she twirled and giggled.

Some moments she would
stand and think deep thoughts
as she would be lost
in glorious nature spots.

Her town found her strange
as the young woman she was,
She was much more,
but all they could see was flaws.

Her heart was in the right place
and that is all that mattered.
She would dance and play
with her long hair scattered.

Her dark eyes carried
no hurt from the people's remarks.
She would do her own thing
and her light would always have sparks.
Jan 2018 · 231
Under your arm
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
Under your arm
I am safe.
Under your arm
is a no fear place.

Beneath your protection
I am secure.
Beneath your protection
everything is pure.

Embraced in your love
every star is in place.
Embraced in your love
feeling the warmth from your face.

Under your wing
nothing can touch me.
Under your wing
cherish ever so softly.

Heavenly Night Dreams
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
A snowy midnight moon
glazes over your window.
Ice cold winds try to breeze in
with a rushing flow.

Peaceful dreams encounter you
with an angel's sweet voice
calming you from the brisk winds
and effecting you to rejoice.

Dreams bringing such positivity
and wondrous light
Glorious stars settle in the skies
for this magical night.

Angels sing such amazing songs
floating in your dreams.
Wings ever so heavenly
like radiant, sparkling beams.

Rest is taken softly
on this chilly Christmas night
where angels are flying
with magic ever so bright.

A Bright Snowy Christmas
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
Misty white sprinkles
dance and twirl their way down
on the old, abandoned bridge.
The skies are faded and gray
and the ground wet and umber.
Vibrant lights brighten the dreariness

and fills warmth to the blistering cold.

Christmas enlivens the dead misery

that sometimes embarks on our world.
Jan 2018 · 139
Strength
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
Stirring in our hearts
torrid colors
reeling in our spirits
everlastingly
near an amazing God.
God created
to make us strong.
Healing to the weak.

Morning Rise
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
Awoken by the
sun
from a night's peaceful
slumber
Safe in my blankets
under.

Eyes glaze beyond my
window.
Rise of a new
beginning
got me dancing and
singing.

A new day has
begun.
The sun is brightly
shining.
The day is full of
surprises.

Together under the stars
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
Every shooting star
is my heart
uplifting so far.
Billions and billions
but I picked you
out of millions.
Twinkle, twinkle
went my heart
with dashes of sprinkles.
The light in your eyes
shimmers as I smile
with the moon rise.
Together under the stars
no starry night
is better than ours.
Jan 2018 · 189
Pathway
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
Life can be hard.
All paths are difficult in some way.
Some crooked, straight, or curved
through silent nights and rough days.

It's all about purpose though.
Your path leads you, guides you
to the purpose you were made for
and no matter what will get you through.

Problems don't define you.
You can stand tall
and face the battle
and every single fall.

A waterfall of blessings...
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
Falls,
splatters.
and splashes
of blessings
and love.
Sprinkles
twinkle
from the mass
from above.
Each splash,

spray glimmers
down to us.
Our hearts
shout and rejoice
with glee from the
blessings of Jesus.

Along the lake
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
Along the lake,
her feet danced
in the ripples
of the wake.
Along the waves
crashing against
her little legs.
The joy she craves.
Along the lake
she splashes
and enjoys the
memories she'll make.
Jan 2018 · 128
Rover
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
The path is unknown.
Her heart thumps heavily
as she feels she's on her own
and the road is not levelly.
A curve is bound ahead
unanswered questions twister
as her head feels like lead
and her feet begin to blister.
This journey has had ups and downs.
She wants the downs to be over.
No more pain and corrupting sounds.
Tired of this rover.
Jan 2018 · 190
Fall
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
Changing colors
scattering with the others.
All golden, red, and green
fat, wide, flat, and lean.
Jumping with glee
and spreading them all free.
Cold winds blow strands of hair
and face feels the chilly flare.
Coats, boots, scarves, and all
are embraced in fall.
Jan 2018 · 205
Chocolate
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
Chocolate.
Homemade, creamy
Filling, melting, tempting
Always a girl's best friend go to.
