The anchor to my soul Waves crash and break Thy steadfast love holds true Light expose sheer darkness Amidst fog and present gloom Glimpse a shine beckons yonder Tears stream, I seek thy gleaming light Ignite the depths, disrupts the night Salvation be nigh, surviving the fight

Light in the Deep
Your love is steady, soft, and true, A warmth that glows in golden hue. Like tides that kiss the waiting shore, You hold me close, then love me more. Through raging winds and endless night, You are my calm, my guiding light. Not fleeting sparks, but steadfast glow, A fire that never dims below. And if the stars should lose their way, Or time should steal the light of day, Still in your arms, I’d always be, Forever safe, eternally.

Endless as the Sky
Steadfast Risen to done, inclined With a times shadow, to last Among causes sign's... Deeds of without... Sated by roles of history That a common power... Makes a chance, of life's epistolary Crave more... Than an impunity To introduce a quiet war Of a candid salvation of humanity... Rancor and/or hunger? Places of distrust, if not deception? Have a song's life, long before done and gone, were... The truth of sincerity, is means, from its inception Taken with the might, of serendipity Come by the ought, of better aspiration Mere, has become my voice for liberty Like a stone, of choices seen, I see a host's generation...

Right, About Right About
Let me tell you a story about a woman A woman who stood still when the earth shook violently A woman who didn't drown when she swam a wave filled ocean A woman who had her feet flat on the ground even when she was at the middle of a hurricane A woman who was given many reasons to give up but still decided to go on and hope This woman is my mother The mother that I dearly admire And I forever will be fascinated by how steadfast she is

Not just a folklore
Finish what you started You have it in you Don't let this opportunity pass Because you're feeling blue Good things come To those with tenacity Go about your life Sure and steadfastly Keep a firm hold Keep chasing your dreams Nothing can keep you down Move ahead full steam

Tenacity
When others behave negatively towards me, my compassion is steadfast for myself and others because I am aware that only with a compassionate attitude can I achieve joy and happiness for myself and others.

Steadfast-Compassion?
When people accuse me of being abnormal because I think for myself, I steadfastly continue to think for myself as I am aware that thinking for myself is the only way that a unique me in my unique situation can achieve my own unique joy and happiness.

Steadfast
You taught me to dance in the storm even when I couldn’t feel sunshine approaching and in the chaos of my heart, You calmed the waves within. and I kept dancing wildly with You beside me.

I'm out of the ordinary. simply put, I'm an outcast. Baa, baa, I can see your savagery and your pure illusion of remaining steadfast. Yet I'm everything you've ever dreamed of! Baa, baa, I can see right through your façade. So stop trying to ****** me again, love.

A wolf in sheep's clothing can't ****** a black sheep
Selfish needy human that I am. My false courage and determination. Standing among the wreck; The mess I seemingly created. Confusion robs my judgment And I stand lost and alone, Until the pieces begin to fit. But I will stand strong and steadfast As this world tears apart.

Stand
Sturdy A house on a hill With firm foundations A treasure box for memories A sanctuary when life chases after you Unwavering The winds hit hard Yet the candle in the lighthouse does not flicker To steer sailors away from the rocks The flame is true Guiding home those who are lost Resolute Determined to the end A never faltering promise To be there, no matter what it takes Steadfast I am for you My love is true My arms are open And you will be accepted, no matter what

Steadfast
Highs before beloved biles Bliss followed by bitter sweetners A paradox She loves her beloved And he loves her too But she fears that he looks into her eyes to see only what is easy to find Does he see her? Does he have the patience to read her? Inbetween the lines of her cries Elegantly striding down the ailse of her heart Yet knocking down her priceless art Her complex heart and complex mind Begs him to look deeper in Shes scared and scarred Her insides need more love Because beloved highs and lows make her juxtaposed. Her fear pushes him away But the look in her eyes screams stay Soothe the worry lines away A task not everyone can bear In beloved highs and lows.                                        -Lily Bajo

Beloved Highs and Lows
a light-headed easiness is my breath, finding footing and security in the simple act of breathing in & out-- i am figuring out what feels good, natural like the length of leg-hair that grows with steadfast vibrancy, a thickness i accept like the curves of my thighs, touching-- your words bring nurturing comfort, this feeling of acceptance & patience in your arms, distant while i caress my own heart with sweet nothings, knowing full well we're both worth it--

day five
The bird song begins earlier than I am prepared to hear it. The sun has not yet made his entrance to this side of the world but I feel light dawning inside me. My leaves are strewn about, having landed violently at my feet last night. My branches are sore, I rocked and groaned all night long, and my trunk is weaker -- I am cracked and missing a few layers -- but my roots, they go deeper than you could imagine, and I will not falter. I may sway, shed pieces to the storm, but I will not fall.

By My Side -a Haiku
"You're soo going to Hell!" "Wha-‽Naw; noo. No. Reckon I ain't. I ain't goin' ta Hell! Open yo ****** eyes! Hell is already upon us. Hell's right in front'a me. Hell's right in front'a y'all. Hell's been tryin' to find me for a good minute then Hell's comin' for my jester/hard-rock-musician *** and I'm gonna give it my own hell *directly-the-fuck back, thank-you-very-fuckin'-much.* See: the Devil hates being stood up to. Look him in the eye and hold your ground. He only has what power you sacrifice to him. Once you flinch, look away, get cocky: you've lost. That's the crack in the dam; the noose 'round yo neck. The same be true of God, the coward. That's what the Devil did, the traitor. Go figure he hates it, too! Authority hates dissent. Whatever side of whatever **** fence. They both one of a kind; spawned of Godmind. Just like us. What, you surprised? Jesus fuckin' Christ! What are they teaching you in school these days? Jack-fuckin'-shit, I reckon. Go to hell!"

You're the wave That shattered me, I'm the rock That stood up to you; It's been centuries— I've been steadfast, You've been patient; What more proof is needed— We're perfectly matched

To stand strong in a world that rushes by Is the hardest thing we'll ever do So if you're asking yourself why Remember, others are asking too
