Alone, eyes tightly closed
My pulse trying to break free of my body

I **** the cold crisp air filling my body
And hold the life giving breath

Realising gently
Three times

Only then am I ready to face the day

Eyes wide open
A determination fills me

I’m back
Why don't you feel this like I do?
How are you not torn apart?
Don't you lie awake all night too?
And think of me all alone in the dark?
Don't you cry where no one can hear you?
Don't you feel alone all the time?
Don't you feel homeless without me?
Aren't I your home like you are mine?
Don't you crave my lips upon yours?
And my heat when you're out in the cold?
Don't you still reach out for my hand?
When you desperately need one to hold?
Don't you wish I were there to talk to?
To tell everything that goes on in your life?
Don't you feel incomplete without me?
Remember, you were almost my wife?
Why don't you feel this like I do?
How can you just turn away?
Don't yout know that I love you?
Those are the only words I can say.
Don't you know I love you?
Those are the only words I can say.
The thing that made me
Crazy
Like a lunatic...
The thing that brought me
To tears
Many, many times...
The thing that is
One of
My worst enemies...
The thing that I hate
Having
In this life of mine...
Boredom.
Throughout my life
I have experienced
Awareness of being alone
I have gained mastery
Of this assignment
Now I consider it to
Be a treasured home
For my heart has
Been strengthened
On the innermost level
I understand
My Savior is always
With me, I will never be alone
Upon all oceans, The Heaven,
And every stretch of land
His strength will guide me
To make a stand
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Therefore put on full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.~~ EPHESIANS 6:13
°°•¤☆¤•°°

the night's as a dark cave
when you're in a test
you can look unto the east
look unto the west
no light to follow clearly
like a banjo out of tune
you chant a mass of chaos
to an uncaring
moon

BUT

there are
stars around the corner
there are
stars behind the door
stars outside your window
when you can't take anymore
stars, they have a sparkle
all their very own
they can warm you
like a hearth
or chill you to the
bone

look up!
dark nights don't last
and though there may be rain
the thunderstorms are passing
you will see the SUN again!
this ol' earth, it keeps on turning
and though the stars are gone
you know it's always
darkest
just
before
the

dawn

so just keep looking up
for Jupiter and Mars
but be sure
to make your wishes

to the

MAKER OF THE STARS

Its almost 3 o'clock in the morning and I can't sleep. My father went into the hospital last night. I am cheering myself up with this poem. I don't know what's going to happen in the future. If my father goes into a care home I will be moving. But whatever happens I know that God will help me through it. I am relying on him more than ever these days. I am praying more than ever. If it seems like I'm not on site very much, it's because I need to be communing with the Maker of the stars.

Thanks for understanding.

☆ LOVE YOU ALL! ☆

attitude of the heart
state of the mind
gratitude overflows
to make our
kindred
kind

the eyes of our souls
the ears of our spirit
open now to
charity
we CAN see
and
hear
it

for if we're blind to
LOVE
and can't hear the
SPIRIT
breeze
we are
TRULY
blind & deaf
can't see the forest
for the trees!

before GOD will bless
we must do our part
admit without Him

WE HAVE NOTHING

and receive a


GRATEFUL HEART!

I'M SO BLESSED TO BE HERE

THANKS FOR BEING IN
MY LIFE!

-
I lost my mind to find my heart
I mended ways and came apart
I lost what's taught to find the truth
I had to age to find my youth
I lost my pride to find my dignity
I lost rebellion to become free
I gave up wealth to find true gold
I lost my life to gain my soul.

I lost my life to gain my soul
I gained my youth by growing old
By gaining Christ my life was sold
I lost my life to gain my soul.


Lost my flesh and found my spirit
I lent my ears just to hear it
I lost my eyes and gained my vision
I became whole by this division
Gave up the world to find such plenty
I became one to help the many
I gave up wealth to find true gold
I lost my life to gain my soul.

Chorus

I am the most when I'm the least
By waging war I found true peace.

Thank you for bearing with me... My father is much better! Thank you so much for your good thoughts and prayers!

Later this morning I'm putting some of my music on YouTube and SoundCloud. I will be able to put it up on the site here soon. It is Christian rap... really cool!

LOVE YOU ALL!

If you ache in every bone
You just want to be alone
You toss and turn
You're sick and weak
All you want to do is sleep
Your favorite color becomes blue

Then you have emotional flu

If your muscles atrophy
And you are in apathy
You can't work up strength to eat
You are a wound from head to feet
Nothing's fresh & little new
Of pick-me-up's? You have so few!
It can affect both me & you

The bane of man... emotional flu


:-(
I've been struggling lately.
All that has happened in my life lately has really affected me. Please bear with me. I just don't feel like being on site right now...
