Healing Waters
Crystal Freda Sep 2017
Healing waters
flowing through my soul.
Beckons my heart
making me whole.

Flushing waters
falling down.
Streaming out
with a rushing sound.

Grace waterfalls
of full-covering peace.
Humble growth
through an act of release.

A life worth exploring
Crystal Freda Jan 2019
She laid in her bed
with a pad and a pen.
Too many thoughts in her head
rotating over and over again.

Her eyes brewed with tears
dripping down to her notebook.
Thinking about all the years
so she wrote as her hands shook.

She gaze in the window
as her heart sank down.
She wondered when did time go
and why her heart was to the ground.

She thought there must be more to life
than this pain she had been enduring..
Take away all this strife,
and have a life worth exploring.

Fallen tree
Crystal Freda Jan 2019
I'm a fallen tree
whose limbs have broken off
and everyone has left me.

My branches couldn't support me
and life's storms beaten me down
with powerful streams from the sea.

Damaged bark and broken apart.
The wood is no longer good
for how rotten is my heart.

I'm fallen tree
left to the ground
in fear and in agony.

Nature has taken its toll on me,
and here I am and here I stay
as the rotten, fallen tree.

Baby girl
Crystal Freda Apr 2019
tiny, troublesome fingers
touched the tips of my tears.

your blue, radiant eyes
oversee the brews of my fears.

I look to my little baby,
my precious baby girl.

I never want to see you cry because
you have no father in this world.

never want to see a droplet
surpass your eye.

never hear your father
say his last good-bye.

that he would welcome you
with warm arms.

or to never lay a hand on you
causing you harm..

may his blue, radiant eyes
be forever yours.

that this man can give
you so much more...

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.

Letting go into the snow
Crystal Freda Dec 2019
Autumn leaves tell us to let go

and in winter our cares freeze in the snow.



Let seasons teach us in this life

its okay to let go, not to hide inside



As the cold blistering winds blow

let the confidence in us grow.



So let go of what is weighing you down.

It turns into snow and melts on the ground.

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.
248 · Jan 2019
Help me to let go...
Crystal Freda Jan 2019
Lord, help me to let go
of the pain from my past.
Help me to uncover my feelings
instead of being blindfolded by a mask

Lord, show me, guide me
to know I did the right thing.
Right now I'm hurting
and not sure of anything.

Lord, you know my future
and I put it in your hands.
Lord, help me to let go
and one day to understand.
248 · Jan 2018
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.
247 · Jan 2018
I love Roses in my Garden
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
Roses unfold
millions and millions
that it seems.
A garden untold
of gorgeous flowers
and petals and leaves.
Red, yellow, and pink
scattered all around,
bright colors welcomed
as you lay and think
while petals settle.
247 · Jan 2018
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
246 · Jan 2019
Coniferious dreaming
Crystal Freda Jan 2019
her curiosity had her
daydreaming in the forest.
Avocado leaves tremble briskly
singing its season's chorus.

she listened to the sounds
of squirrels swarming
jumping from tree to tree
like they were performing.

chirp, chirp goes the birds
growing its iridescent feathers.
Animals assembling together food
for the crisp, chilly weather.

she daydreamed
as she studied the mantis green
stems tickling against her sweater
fostering a picturesque scene.
246 · Jan 2018
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.
245 · Jan 2018
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.
244 · Sep 2017
She released her wings...
Crystal Freda Sep 2017
All the trial and heartache.
She was tense.
She was stressed.
So much pain in her chest.
Her heart was hurting
until she discovered she had wings.
All she had to do was let go
and let her wings flow.

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.
243 · Jan 2019
autumn's dream
Crystal Freda Jan 2019
she grabbed a soft stone

and eyed  the skipping it does.

she inhaled the misty, fall air

and twirled her auburn hair.



she glared up to the canary leaves

dangling thinly on their limbs.

her flats tapping to the music making

of the trees strumming and shaking.



she beckons down

at the candy corn fronds

wading in the morning stream

like an autumn's dream.
243 · Jan 2018
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.
242 · Apr 2019
You are broken
Crystal Freda Apr 2019
You are broken,
but there is a reason.
Beautiful shards of you
are changing in this season.

You may feel empty,
but your brim is filling up.
Crystal clear waters
are brewing in your cup.

Don't let these damaged
pieces bring you down.
These pieces are jewels
attached to your crown.
241 · Oct 2019
abyss
Crystal Freda Oct 2019
tepid tides
tickled on the tips of her toes.

azure aqueducts
abated arenose agates as it blows

rippling rapids
recessed on her rimmed  ruffle

marine meanders
mellowed her masses as it muffled.

salving sands
stimulates her senses as solitude flows...

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.

A Peaceful Stroll.
Crystal Freda Oct 2017
A stroll in the calm scenery
a swift breeze at your face
New beginnings start this season
as you stroll along in the park.

Blossoming colors spread all around
Mind and eyes capture and marvel
Every green, yellow, gold, red, and orange
all draw close to a picture reflecting on your eyes.


Crumbled leaves brushing on the ground
other leaves cling and slowly hang on branches
Leaves crunch as your polished boots prance away.
Fall's season begins your peaceful amble.
239 · Oct 2019
breaking branches
Crystal Freda Oct 2019
can I hold on
just a little bit longer?
I feel I'm getting weaker
instead of stronger...

the branches of my heart break
without your support.
winds crashing and beating
back and forth...

I can't live this way anymore,
either have to let it go and break...
or wait for it to grow
no matter how long that may take..
237 · Nov 2018
pearly white skies
Crystal Freda Nov 2018
her vanilla dress
lay against the grains
of the tannish sand.

her eyes match the sea,
the whites of her eyes
watch the pebbles in her hand.

the waves brush against her feet
as she runs away laughing
her smile shines so bright.

not a gray cloud in the sky
on this lovely sunny day
where the clouds are pearly white.
236 · Dec 2019
Winter's waterfall
Crystal Freda Dec 2019
Uranian splashes of effulgence
painting the granite off the rocks.
Emitting the jewels of ivory pearls
proceeding from the aqueous curls.

Gardens of genus glaciers
gushing down rapidly.
Fountains of heartbeats toters
and misty sounds confront the waters.

Chilly chips of frost
awakens the window of winter.
Flakes of frozen trounces
pouring pitchers of priunious pounces.
236 · Jan 2018
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.
235 · Dec 2019
Sunlit smile

Chocolate
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
Chocolate.
Homemade, creamy
Filling, melting, tempting
Always a girl's best friend go to.
Sweetness.

Let it Rain.
Crystal Freda Sep 2017
Let it rain
in my soul.
No more pain.
Lord, take control.
Don't be afraid.
It will be okay.
The price is paid.
He'll always stay.

Harvest Time Autumn.
Crystal Freda Aug 2017
Picking ripe, juicy apples off trees
Jumping into a fresh pile of leaves.
Bundled up for the swift, autumn breeze.
Harvest time is a great time to appease
With autumns such as these.
When everything is simply at ease.
233 · Sep 2017
Take me in.
Crystal Freda Sep 2017
Just take my hand
and draw me in.
There is nothing more
than I can stand.
Just take my heart
and give a part.
A brand new day
and a fresh new start.
233 · Dec 2019
Lifetime game
Crystal Freda Dec 2019
Every moment of our lives
will all just turn into a memory.
As you walk, breathe, eat, and sleep,
this was all meant to be.

Cherish the hands you have
and embrace your feet to walk
Encourage your thoughts and
your mouth to kindly talk.

Life is a short game
that not all get to play.
You are an uniquely created player
who gets to experience it every day.
233 · Dec 2019
Overflows the minds
Crystal Freda Dec 2019
May her mind grow
branches of burly,beckoning thoughts.
May they lengthen out
with roots migrating their pots.

Let her words speak vigorously
with crisp, colorful essence.
May she unfold fields of flowers
inhaling the strongest fluorescence.

Let her mind and her kindness
takeoff with bold, strenuous wings.
May her voice awaken the songs
the world needs to sing.
233 · Nov 2018
The look in your eyes
Crystal Freda Nov 2018
The look in your eyes
breaks my heart.
The look in your eyes
stretches our strings apart.

The look in your eyes
gives me second thoughts.
The look in your eyes
puts my stomach in knots.

The look in your eyes
brings me to tears.
The look in your eyes
has changed in these years.

The look in your eyes
is not okay.
The look in your eyes
fades as you walk away...
232 · Aug 2017
Joy Descends.
Crystal Freda Aug 2017
Twirling around a pole
She is filled with such joy.
She sustains feelings of being whole.
A feeling of something to enjoy.

The sun is lowering down
as the street lights glitter on.
Darkness beckons the ground.
The sunlight will soon be gone.

She lives in this small town
where her heart belongs.
Her happiness has a vibrant sound.
It sings enticing songs.
230 · Mar 2018
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
229 · Dec 2018
You will be all right
Crystal Freda Dec 2018
Letting go is never easy to do,
but sometimes your broken heart
needs to be mended through.

This will take a bit of time,
but you will be all right
Everything will eventually be fine.

I know you are hurting right now,
but you will find answers
and you will figure out how.

So look up, you did what was right.
You will see the sun one morning
instead of a moonless night.

Broken Mirror.
Crystal Freda Aug 2017
Shattered pieces fall from the mirror.
Is this my reflection?
Why am I here?

Is there more to me?
Is there more than my body and my brain?
Do I have destiny?

When I look in the mirror
I see broken, an unfinished project.
Is there something bigger?

Embrace the broken in the mirror.
Let your brokenness shine.
Let your brokenness shimmer.

You are more than your fractured pieces.
You are a king or a queen.
Your beauty, your heart, never ceases.
228 · Dec 2018
Walk in the woods
Crystal Freda Dec 2018
The rose gold strands of her hair
diverted with the tide of the wind.
The leaves from the cedar trees
brushed leaves growing old and thin.

She gazed up at the overcast sky
full of hanging, dark green limbs.
She liked the sounds of the crackling
like it was singing sweet nature hymns.

She touched the rough bark
of the dark, musky wood.
She inhaled the aromatic smells
which smelled quite good.

She finished her walk in the woods
with a sense of pleasure and glee.
Every smell, sight, and feeling
was ever so lovely.
228 · Jan 2019
Life goes by too fast
Crystal Freda Jan 2019
If you were never born,
there would be no tomorrow.
So you think that's great.
No more sorrow,
but you would never see the sun
or live to be happy.
Never embrace life to the fullest.
Nothing to wonder, nothing to be.
You were given a life for a reason.
Live it, don't live in the past.
All will be gone in a sweep.
Life goes by too fast.
228 · Nov 2017
A message for you...
Crystal Freda Nov 2017
Be yourself.
Never be someone else.
You were made to be you.
Everything you go through
is meant for a reason
why you go through every kind of season.
You should live to be you.
This should always be true.
Be true to yourself.
You shine like pastel.
Every color shimmers
and brightly glimmers
on you.
You can grow and accrue
but you will always be you
of who you are meant to be
as you live to be free.
227 · May 2018
Don't dare to be broken
Crystal Freda May 2018
Broken
like shattered glass.
Damaged,
lost in the past.

If you hold on
to this debris.
You'll stay broken
and never be free.

Let go of shards
from the hurt you had.
If you let go,
you will be glad.
227 · Sep 2017
Underwater Moonlight.
Crystal Freda Sep 2017
Deep ocean currents
channeling under water.
A glorious night appears
as the waves grow stronger.

Swim up to the moon
as it glares across the waves
searching for light
for the moonlight it craves.

Soar for the sky
as light ceases on the blue
Don't stop sailing
until you reach on through.
227 · Dec 2018
If only
Crystal Freda Dec 2018
If only
she didn't let him go.
If only,
if only she had known.

If only
this hurt doesn't last long.
If only
she could be strong.

If only
she could tell him.
If only
the light wasn't dim.

If only
she didn't wait.
If only,
but now it's too late.
227 · Apr 2018
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.
227 · Aug 2018
Lake of Peace
Crystal Freda Aug 2018
A secret place
but only to you.
Such peace
will break through.
A giant mass
full of the skies' tears.
Waves and ripples
echo in your ears.
Breathe the lake's aroma
and taste the salt.
Enjoy God's creation
from Heaven's water vault.
Peace surrounds
every rock, every view
around the land
and around you.
227 · Feb 2018
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.
226 · Nov 2018
A prayer
Crystal Freda Nov 2018
A prayer is not a checklist
of things that need to be prayed for.
It's a love, a real connection
from your heart, mind, and much more.

A prayer isn't bowing on your knees
or having to close your eyes.
It's a faith, it's a hope,
and a love that never dies.

A prayer is what you make it
coming from your heart.
Just call on His name,
that is all you have to do to start.
