You are loved far beyond measure
You are the Father's greatest treasure
More beautiful than diamonds, more precious by far
In His loving eyes, you outshine the brightest star
The world rates your value with fancy graphs and charts
But God looks deeper into your very heart of hearts
He has loved you from before time ever began
He has carved you into the palm of his hand
You may be small; you may be weak or insecure
But all that He sees instead is a loving heart so pure
He sees someone He can use, someone He can build
A masterpiece in the hands of a master so skilled
He thinks the world of you: in fact, He gave you the world
Lean into the wind and fly on wings of hope unfurled
If you ever doubt my love look upon that cross which I, dying, lay
I poured out my heart, my love, my life for you that fateful day
Not even death would keep me from loving you
The only thing I ask is that you love me too
I love you for always, I love you forever
And I hope one day we will be together
But for now, just know, I am always very near
When you kneel to pray you will find me here
I am close as your heartbeat, your very next breath
My love will follow you beyond life to life eternal after death
I love you; I love you; I love you. I love you and you are mine
And by this wondrous love you will be, for the world, a living sign

Amphorae, beautifully crafted,
Delicate, exquisite, fire-glazed,
Heated in jumbo kilns,
Lovely molded necks,
Opaque pigments,
Quartzite residue-
Symbolic, timeless, utilitarian
Valued- with xanthic yellow zirconium

Poetic T Oct 2019
Time is a construct of
       passing frailties,
We cling to them more so for comfort.


Not realising that we're already
                an echo just rebounding off
the moments that have conceded
to a  passing that is bigger than us.

But still we live for those mere seconds,
                                                 for meaning.

And to show that even though we were
                         just a flicker,


                     we burnt brighter than a star.
Isaac Oct 2018
You are a soul,
Born inside a body.
You are more than
A clump of atoms.

You are precious
And valued by God,
Not a careless piece
Of his creation.

You are a whole world
In and of yourself.
Let your personality shine
In God's magnifying presence.

You belong with your creator.
Allow him to show you that.
He is ready to bring you close.
You were born to be with him forever.

If you forget to realize your God's master, you'll settle for being someone's side piece.      
                                           -Kada
Why settle for something you don't deserve?

God created everything with a divine purpose,
Nothing that has life is a mistake.
                                                        ­        -Kada
You aren't a mistake.

Its awful to feel like you don't belong.
You can't do this, you can't do that.
Society says being who you are is just wrong,
No matter where you're at.

"Your face is ugly."
"You aren't skinny enough."
These words come out carelessly,
but this happens in everyday stuff.
Do you ever feel as if you are "Hashtagged?" What I mean is being labeled by someone or something. Its time to overcome the weariness of being judged.

To be in my own skin
To feel like myself
You loved me there
C'mon silly
How can a hollow man do that?
my super hero, my love... even though you may scoff to believe you have such powers, you do
