nostalgic realities.
Nancy Delgado Apr 2015
nostalgic realities are the faithful arrows that lead me towards that everlasting future of which grace gently whispers into my soul daily,
all of creation really, we are all waiting though, only a few know what the longings and heart aches actually foretell
until we watch newness unfold, nostalgic realities are the names of promises given by the Name long ago engraved on many of our souls before creation was told to exist
nostalgic realities, a present analogy of that which no words can ever obtain

distant flame on the road
an imitation of home
elegantly seeking to be known
droplets of rain pour out into the depths of my soul
to awaken the eternal realization
that had never meant more in words

"I love you"

new creation
Nancy Delgado Sep 2014
Made new in such a way that from the moment when You bestowed this never ending ardent flame in my heart I have yet to walk alone. Your Spirit is now my Vision, Your love is now the overflowing cup of mine. My life is no longer my own, no, it's in much Greater hands, dwelling in the Presence of the Star Breather. You took the bits and pieces I could never even begin to fathom and created a masterpiece to hang on the walls of Your ever triumphant Home. You gave me lenses by which I can discern the empty forests of various souls including mine own. Your light is a mystery to my mind, a joy to my heart. Your Spoken Word is the map which I make constant reference to for knowledge of my every step. I'm the flower of Your eye and You delight to see me lost in my thoughts of awe before the works of Your majesty. I will never turn back, You have won me ever since You resurrected me from that self made pit of mine. My old creature surrounded by chains was dead until Your thunderous Presence breathed Light into my inner being, bringing me to Life for the first time and now that I'm in Life, I can never see death again.

wander and find
Nancy Delgado Jul 2013
I want to witness and be fully present when Your thunder arrives, the thought of it excites my soul.

I want to break out the window of intellect and become infinitely lost in You. 

Your beauty surrounds me and wraps me up, taking me to a place of deep adoration and complete silence.

Just by writing this it shows my attempt to try and obtain You with language but the least I can say is thank You.

My heart yells out a beautiful symphony out to You Father, that only You understand and noone else knows its structure like You do for You constructed it.

You brought music into it therefore my brain functions in such a way that I find myself often wanting so desperately to write how grateful I am for every second of life You give me but, it is not enough.

I stand lost in my mind most of the time, swimming in my thoughts of praise, in awe of all You do.

The mystery I love is You.
I want to sink in it.
Wander and find.
More blessings are to come and I am standing with open arms, heart and mind to try to conceive them. And grow deeper in love with You.

Unknown precepts
Untamed lines
You draw out for every eye
My spirit hides in dwelling lies
Scared to see this heart of mine
Tangled in your mystery
I have come to see
That it is he who has shaped me
To heavily seek my disbelief
In hopes and prayer that it may diminish and
From it
A great melody may come to be
You alone see me and that alone troubles me
Yet in the in betweens it is you I wish to see for eternity

bright Love
Nancy Delgado Mar 2014
You come with power
You reach out to grab my heart and surround it with Your mysterious peace
I can't comprehend it
no, I can never fully explain You but rather rejoice in You as I hug You back
I look at Your infinite art and long to get lost in Your creativity
joy makes it worth it
Your glory awaits me
You whisper "let it be"
beauty all around, waiting, patiently waiting to be discovered and exposed
taste and see, there's beauty all around
in my mind I see lightning
in my mind I see a flower gently existing, waiting for the rain to fall upon its yellow petals
in my mind I see beauty longing to come to life
in my mind I see that what You tell my heart is not only true but here
at this very moment I need only to let it be
I need to release the false control over everything and let You take over
my God
You will restore it all
pour down Your rain
despite the pain
the joy will remain
let it fall
awake them all
it's time to let go and be
until we are face to face with He that makes and takes for the glory of it all
let us dance and rejoice
I dance for He shall come
rejoice, through it all, our Love is Here
and He's longing to use us
use me for Your beautiful masterpiece
remind me, it is You who is shaping me
building me to be what You thought me to be

it's in the clouds
the color of your eyes contains it as well
your smile has a story that i desire to learn
even if you don't believe it, you're here for so much more
and it's not for the temporary but
simply to practice the reality which is eternal
this is a mere shadow, escape it and you'll see there's so much more
you obtain much passion but your heart is weary
sleep in the hands of our Creator and live for today and forever more
we aren't that different from the roses, yes if you pay close attention,
even now we wait for someone to pick us without knowing that we've been planted with such care to create and share life
like this gift of simply living through the power of He who brings us water and light.

But to actually come into agreement with our intellect and let all we observe take over our life’s to a level of complete control is rather foolish. We are vulnerable creatures even that to our own selves. We believe what we want to believe. We see only what our eyes desire to see, same with our minds except for the huge misunderstanding it has with the most important, the heart, the one that maintains, is, remains, everything overflows from it and it is there, deep in there, and I mean completely rooted in, where we will finally come into a contact so short that our minds will not be able to conceive it.. We’ll spend most of life in human terms trying to reach and achieve to the fullest extent but “it”, of course is beyond us all. It is wonder.

Agua y Vida
Nancy Delgado Feb 2015
Surely there’s more to it than unforgettable moments of clear stupidity, time consuming idiocy of slurred thoughts filled with feelings of constant annoyance towards everyone but ourselves.
No satisfaction, endless depression, fleeting pleasures.
There had to be something more than this, I thought to myself as I hit the pipe one more time but this high is but a lie to distract us from the truth. What is truth?
How had it not reached me and yet was in front of me the whole time? Surrounding us, showing us reality but, of course pride blinds all eyes and when looking towards ourselves we refuse to see that which is clearly greater than us. We might in all honesty continue to participate for the temporal escapism but when it does die we remain empty for we’re surely it's slave and this type of medicine is not being prescribed with pity but with all intentions of making us more greedy.
Whether we realize it or not we carry out the purpose of the deceiver for surely we’re slaves but the source makes all the difference.
One brings forth confusion, isolation with false ideology of power over all ending in death, the other frees to bring us into Eternity's hands and I must say that my being a slave to the fountain of life is not always typically beautiful but, the joy is infinitely worth it because the Creator keeps me and that fact is why I am at all for if it wasn't for the higher call, I wouldn't be, literally.
Suicidal thoughts knocking on my door until revelation with reconciliation came to the rescue.
Without grace I’m no better than the ******* out in the streets yeah, for there’s none good nope, not one.
Stop resting in justifications for addictions to the diminishing ice.
Behold His luminous voice as He melts the walls you hid behind only to restore your fragmented soul, surely you'll be whole. You've been deceived so stop saying you're good vibin' when really you're just blinded. Come taste & see the greatness of new life. An eternal canvas in the making instead of a cycle that's constantly breaking.

spiraling downward, with a knowledge of self alone
my Beloved captured me from the self made grave
my heart longed for an escape and the mystery of what came with death intrigued my curiosity
You knew this, You made me
offering thee Perfect escape by the only Risen One-
You took my hopes and failures,
welcoming me daily to the escape only The Lamb can provide-
into the warmth of the Son and away with the mystery of the night stars i go, holding hands with Life- finally breathing freely, dying to myself daily.

Queen of paper castles.

grappling hope, between what was revealed and what my feeble mind thinks could come to be.
strangled is my faith as i pretend to have control yet always fall short.
false expectations of demands no one gave, proud thoughts encourage unknown promises.
forget the temporary castle if eternal joy is what needs to be extracted in that dark old exchange that begs to be seen as beautiful.
i'll gladly be nothing if it means the King of Zion will be in control for therein lies all true peace freely given in abundance, overflowing mercies are truly gained on that gorgeous Mountain.

Rest in sunshine's gaze upon you
For truly then and only then will all other strivings to be disappear
As you breathe in and know you are truly beloved, clothed in lilies of the field that the Image created for you
A never ending romance of anchored assurance- every effort to become will be but a faint memory of a life you once familiarized with as you behold and know
Christ fully renews you, forevermore.

creation teaches us humility and the rod is not far from grace filled hearts.
it is much needed, you see, to boast in our evident weakness- to see Christ as evermore Strong
for in this meekness- Life is gained.
not life as most think of but the revelation of Jesus Christ in which there is no lack of anything
only eternal fullness at His feet.

you claim that there never has been a Creator or ever will be,
but tell me why this supposedly nonexistent God can never escape your lips?
your thoughts and dreams all are consumed by Him, sure a denial of Him but yet you find Him never really leaving,
indeed something nonexistent could never occupy anything if it is not yet- in the quietness of our fading time- the mere thought of His Omniscient Presence discomforts you.
oh i pray you may but look up to see how The Triune Fire is in your very midst- indeed, giving you the ability to even breathe- yet you use it to blaspheme.
foolish yet understandable to our nature- know this, it will not be long if you are His- He will not hesitate to bring you Home
oh foolish one- come Home.

can’t help but spread the fact that the greatness of the land is not the plant firmly rooted but the cultivating and remembrance of the roots, including the present cry for a drop of water with much vulnerability as dehydration starts taking place
you can see the face amongst fellow traveling strangers
yet, there are still many who remain and stare with questions never asked. it is not merely a choice to be the one who digs into this land with mighty strength and bravery but a mere drop of the reality, the storm breaking in any time now, collecting all fruits and vegetations of life and it is not ours to choose but to be once we see we cannot help but to fill your buckets with life. selah, storm’s coming in, don’t rush for shelter yet with your empty heart that will restrain all sort of protection but learn that it is the rain where the true love is gained and then, be.

in the chaos there is room for interpreting things as they are,
there's barely a glimpse of hope that we're actually still alive, yeah- the hearts' beating and one may seem attentive to their surroundings but the artistry of the mind is so complex that when so many events get thrown at it all at once it is only natural for it to react in defense mode. yet, multitasking never was, is or will be an art but a false justification for getting things done all the while, things are falling apart. in the mind of one that has been wholly separated and made new- it is an obligation i would dare to say- to depart at once and flee to the arms of the everlasting Father. receive His divine listening ear and pour out our chaotic storms before Him only to go away in abundant peace. yes, it may sound so simple yet the cure is but that easy yet complicated all at once for the pilgrim. hence, we need the reality of our pilgrimage to be ever set before us so that we may therein never equate ourselves with this fleeting world and find a place to rest our head here, no this is our battle ground. oh precious kin- if you were to but merely glance up and see your ever triumphant Home- the Lion of the Tribe of Judah then, and only then will you find rest. but even at that, do not let your comfort lead you to pride and rarely approach the throne of grace just as much as you shouldn't let His never ceasing mercy lead you to slothfulness disguising itself as rest. nope, holy war and peace are hand in hand. learn this oh weary heart of mine.

feminism, a joke.
how furiously do they go on
chanting about how true femininity is found in
a complete surrender of all inner desires that
have been welling up inside of all our hearts-
as girls we ought to be the same and even try to
bring down those we ought to help- indeed we
were created for this-
except that
God created the woman out of man's side- to stand by them, never trotting them down.
we ought to, indeed- we must go back to our own gardens,
our sorts of gentle peace and joy if we are to be our real selves.
the Cultivator Himself is pleased in renewing us and guiding us into this very beautiful reality. we cannot go back on our own...

not everything we see now will last
and there's still a hope in the air
stay attentive, if you listen
you can hear the songs
they're in the clouds and they fall like the rain upon my skin
this truth lives inside any who rejects the grand lie
that they are their own

Wondrous nature 

Yet so damaged and broken

Still, You choose to re-construct the broken concepts of grace unknown

I reach out into the sky, beholding the stars that shine so eloquently
So effortlessly, oh how will it be on the day I meet eternity?
Oh, have you got eyes to see?
See thee interesting Story unfold across ancient galaxies, the root of all our being
Truly we are eager for a New song, unaware that the Melody in the air is our revival and that every spark of inspiration comes from the same One who collects our tears in a bottle.
Won’t you look up? Stretch your arms up and see, we are not so distant from our stars.
They are even now but a mere foreshadow of what awaits those who behold and know they are in Eternity’s hands and were never really their own therefore bestowed thee art that nature's Maker so freely gave for it reminded them of the gift they undeservingly held within.
Look up, Eternity is near.

nothing in all my wandering can satisfy but the cup that Your gracious hands offer
