Everything tends to end one day
In this all too temporary life

We suffer loss too often
Bringing leather skin to our bones
Shedding imperfections in silent rooms
Mourning lives in private

We arrive into this life alone
Only to build on relationships
Then we break when they break
Learning to persevere and grow

Never giving up
Vowing to never give in
We push ahead against the wind
Continuously fighting
Always enduring.....

Until the end
When we lay alone
Close our eyes in a lasting sleep
Some without hope of anything

I am heart & soul
I am nobody special
I don't claim to be
I write what I know
I write when Im mad
I write when I'm blue
I write about everything
I write just for you
I write about love
Though I know not
I'm just writing each line
with all of my heart

The flames rose wild and destructive
There was no way she would ever
be able to cross that bridge again
She just smiled
*"at least I can see through the darkness now
with the fire in the background"

I'm reminiscing  on video chats
deep stares and full lips
cocking your smile to the side you said
I could call you mine
Then I wondered
Across 5,000 miles
Who else was on the line?
Who else was falling for your smile
Those eyes, that skin,
the cool way you calmly replied
Your heroic nature
You love to save the world
You have a charming way
You could've changed my world
I only wish
I was your only girl

For even if
I were engulfed in darkness

That darkness

would eventually be filled
with the light of truth

What is free will
If not a loving gift?
You have the right to choose
No one can make you choose life
No one can make you do anything
That is your gift
Even in perfection
What a lovely gift
Knowing we are not puppets
We can choose truth or lies
We can choose right
We can choose love or hate
Choice is the gift we get
Free will instead of robotics


Does God really need to specify every event in advance?

Being infinite in power and matchless in wisdom, Jehovah can meet any emergency or contingency that might result as his creatures exercise their free will. (Isaiah 40:25, 26; Romans 11:33) He can do this instantly and without forethought. Unlike fallible men with their limited abilities, Almighty God does not need a detailed, cut-and-dried plan that sets out beforehand the destiny of every individual on the earth. (Proverbs 19:21) In a number of Bible translations, Ephesians 3:11 speaks of God’s having an “eternal purpose” rather than a fixed plan

All I hear is gushing water
rolling over the side of the cliff
An excited amount
At full speed no less!
Fast enough to ****
Beautiful enough for temptation
Flowing into Blasts
Of foaming white clouds
Rainbows appearing in the mist
Calming now
It winds down
turning into
a clear babbling brook
Turquoise blue
So calm
Serene

Then
without warning
Fierce
Tumbling over boulders
Furious intimidation!

A mighty creation
