Close to nature, close to God.
The rainbow in the sky says goodbye,
pure nature, forever kind,
shining bright like silver, refined.

Rivers of solitude running free,
children asking for food, silently.
Yet the breeze still sings with grace
on the vine leaf’s sacred face.

Close to nature  and to you, my brother
to love all things, one after another,
with nobility from the heart’s deep tide.
The earth smells of eternity wide,
and the sun is a wine without time inside.

Gratitude in the smile we show,
nature full of charm and glow.
The fog descends, calm and clear,
like a mantle blessing all that is near.

Days of rain and shining skies,
close to nature, where life applies.
The Douro whispers ancient lore,
and birds pray for friends they adore.

God embraces the whole wide land,
all people, but Douro first, my land
Flowers, bees, and honey in season,
all pulsing in the heart of creation’s reason.

In the silence of the my  lovely field,
I feel God crucified, revealed.

The soul is a root that sings and feels
in the earth, in the sky  where forever heals.


Victor Marques
In a world where faith was taught,  
In church, where lessons were sought,  
I learned of God, the love He brought,  
But lost my way, my heart forgot.  
Who do you hear?  

I wandered through shadows, doubt in my mind,  
Questioning the good, the truth hard to find,  
Yet still, I searched, leaving darkness behind,  
In whispers of hope, His voice was kind.  
Who do you hear?  

From Baptist roots to Catholic grace,  
With missionaries guiding, I found my place,  
In every church, I sought His face,  
Now in His arms, I embrace my space.  
Who do you hear?  

Life’s burdens lifted, no worry or fear,  
In love and forgiveness, His presence is near,  
A covenant kept, my path is clear,  
I walk in His light, holding Him dear.  
Who do you hear?  

Stubborn in faith, I stand strong and proud,  
Living for Him, my heart sings aloud,  
In every moment, I’m wrapped in His shroud,  
With trust in His plan, I rise from the crowd.  
Who do you hear?
With everyone talking it can be hard to follow God's voice but you'll know when you hear him.
Look at me then,  
Look at me now,  
A lot has changed,  
I've matured somehow.  

Some things remain,  
Like my love for all,  
Look at me then,  
Look at me now.  

Once depressed, wanting to die,  
Crying each night, searching for why,  
Answers eluded, I wandered in dark,  
Except in God's light, where I found my spark.  

Now happy as a dog, florricking in fields,  
Joyful as can be, my heart freely yields.  
With a smile on my face, I invite you to see,  
You can't miss God's love that shines through me.  

Look at me then,  
Look at me now,  
Younger me would be so proud.
Changing is great when you realize your changing for the better
To serve myself or serve the Divine,  
A choice that weighs heavy, a question of mine.  
In moments of struggle, I’ve turned away,  
Yet darkness followed, leading me astray.  

What can this world offer that’s truly good,  
That God hasn’t crafted, that’s misunderstood?  
I walk a path free from drink, smoke, or curse,  
In His love, I find joy, in His grace, I immerse.  

To ignore Him feels foolish, a path I can't tread,  
For serving my flesh would leave my spirit dead.  
Forget what He taught? No, that I won’t do,  
Why choose what He hates when His love is so true?  

Like children to parents, I seek His embrace,  
In guidance and wisdom, I find my true place.  
An all-loving Father, forgiving and kind,  
In prayer, I discover a peace intertwined.  

Nothing on earth can compare to His grace,  
In keeping my covenants, I find my safe space.  
So I ask once more, in this moment so real,  
Shall I choose my own will, or the love that I feel?  

My flesh may whisper, but my soul knows the way,  
In serving my God, I find peace every day.  
So let my choice echo, steadfast and true,  
For in serving the Lord, I find all I pursue.
Choosing yourself is also denying God.
In shadows deep, I lost my way,  
A sense of self, in disarray.  
Yet joy emerged, like morning's grace,  
God's light unveiled my hidden face.  

No longer bound by selfish chains,  
In devotion's arms, true freedom reigns.  
Miserable days, like hell on earth,  
Found purpose anew, a rebirth.  

Grateful heart, for love so wide,  
Forgiving hands, my faithful guide.  
I lost it all, yet gained the best,  
In God's embrace, I found my rest.  

Younger me, with questions bold,  
"Did we survive? Are we consoled?"  
I smile and say, "Yes, we are free,  
Only through Him, I truly see."  

For years I walked, in shadows cast,  
Believing love was lost, not meant to last.  
Yet now I reach with arms held high,  
Inviting sinners, come, don’t be shy.  

I’d have been lost, consumed by fear,  
In false delights that disappear.  
But with God’s strength, we stand as one,  
Together, the battle’s already won.  

So yes, I lost my sense of self,  
To find the soul I sought on shelves.  
In every flaw, I see the grace,  
For in His light, I’ve found my place.
A poem about losing yourself to find that God was always there.

perhaps it isn’t right
but i needed God not in hindsight
nor footprints in the sand
I simply needed your hand

Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light for my path.
The path to withstand my evil’s desired wrath.

Lead me by your truth and teach me,
Strike me deep in my heart, Jesus I can be.
For you are the God who saves me,
Who bloomed a fruit in my worthless tree.

All day long I put my hope in you.
You’re the God, who showed me what’s true.
For he made everything such a beauty,
Though as for me, I am poor and needy,
but the lord is thinking about me right now.”
And he will guide me, even if I don’t know how.

The lord is my shepherd; I have everything I need.
He is the only one, who can make me succeed!

For I sin in my earthly routine,
Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow,
Make me pure, as I live and show.

How could I be afraid to grow?
For he orders his angels to protect you wherever you go.
This is a prayer that I made and turn it into a poem so I can read it more beautifully. The prayer's format starts with praise, God's will, daily needs, forgiveness, and protection.

I used psalms scriptures in here and I added something from it and with rhymes!

all my friends are falling in love
and guys are falling for them
they’re all asking when i will
even my guys friends ask questions

they ask how im still single
cuz “respectfully you’re pretty
if i didn’t see you as a sister,
i’d totally fall for you”

it’s a weird thing to say
but i think it’s sweet
it’s reassuring
knowing that maybe there’s nothing actually wrong with me

maybe God is making me wait
i mean i’m horrible at patience
but then i remember
that little thing He whispered to me

He has that perfect guy planned for me
and tho he has a girlfriend now
he’s gonna realize it’s meant to be me

i know i sound crazy
but i kinda like crazy
