#sustain
A constant reminder Of life sustained.
Remain within oneself.
Let go of pleasure.
Live a life chained.
Live the insurmountable,
Your only claim to fame.

Love grows weaker
When we ignore our pain.
It grows colder
When we feel no shame.
Coldness which numbs
Needed extremities --
Parts of the soul needed
To sustain other souls.
Love may be a dying breed.
It isn't what some people
Think they need.
But pure love is the
Life in the seed --
So don't let the
Seed of Life
Become a dying breed.

It is the ability
To sustain in spite
Of all the hurdles
The gritted heart
Determined
Desire to quit
When the pain
Sinks in - it's easy
The sharpened mind
Unfaltering
Be open to the edge
Curious to feel
The crossing
The expanded body
Accomplished

In every movement that I make towards you
In whatever decision, relationship, or mood
I realize I’m as close as I’ll get
When I’m no longer satisfied by anything less
But you aren’t forward or behind
You’re sustaining the movement itself
I wear your signature on my every breath

This wreak of a world can barely sustain me.
And I’m not one to live in fear.

She ran on empty
far too long
She kneeled
At the alter of creativity
And began to write

I feel like I'm trapped
In time and space
But you are not
On my continuum
I search each hall
Only to find pictures
Hung of you
With no after
I'm miserable and
Complacent
There's only one thing
I could think of
Play you just say
Play
And I will
Dream you just say
Dream
And I will
Forever you just
Say forever
And I scream
STAY just
Stay

Wrong place, wrong time, two nickels make a dime, but I just don't wanna fail.
Too many heartbreaks plus hardships, set sail for through fiery hell.
Life is hard, we all know, the same scenario,
It's not hard than you portray.
Good things, good days, come and go,
Melting away.
Anyway.
Do you see the shame? That you threw on me , laughing and scheming afflicting the
Meaning of pain,
No respect given in this life will leave you in suspense , making it harder to sustain.

Daily bread you keep us fed
Manna from on high greater than I
I will surely perish for the food I so cherish
Grain so small yet so full of potential
The body of Christ is most essential
He gives up himself both body and soul
He is the only one who fills my heart’s hole
We consume him to be consumed
In this life we are being groomed
To be with Him in love without end
To praise and live forever all the people said amen
You are the food for the nations
Your words formed all creations
Your word sustains us it’s all we need
Your truth is like water to seed
Your love lifts us up back on our feet
Your love fills us and makes us complete
Your mercy is such that it brings me to my knees
Your glory is higher than the mountains, deeper than the seas
Your Spirit is flowing pouring down like rain
Your blood Lord washes away my guilty stain
Your wisdom surpasses the greatest of men
You are, you were, you always have been
Your light touches all darkness is as day
You walked before us to show us the way
Your plans are perfect your ways are good
But we stray, turn away, don’t do as we should
Still you love us take us back into the fold
You seek us out and shelter us from the cold
How amazing God that through it all
You still welcome us to the great feast hall

Your moth light is supposed to
sustain me.
I am told to discredit
my sun,
its fuel unnecessary,
yours enough.
What do shadows live on,
this light?
I am the keeper of your
caterpillar dreams.

Oh universe
How you sustain all lives
Is so marvellous
Mother Nature
You constant watcher
You are not a quitter
The seas know their space
The sun sets in the west
And never loses that course
The trees cleanse the air
Herbs with sweet smelling fragrance
And wild honey tastes so sweet
Oh universe
How do you manage this
With so many of us?
The hogs eliminate snakes
The pests feed on wastes
Vultures take care of dead carcasses
We all look to you when we need food
You provide it
We eat it
Every one of your dependants
Know their expectations
In selfregulation
The eater and the eaten
Life never ceases
It only changes form
Rotting plants become humus
And sustain growing plants
Edible animals become part of man
man's DNA lives on in their descendants...
And then man grew a few beards
With his advancements
Interfering with all others
Breaking laws
Creating disaters
In the eco
thick smokes of toxic
chemicals that destroy flora and fauna
Massive deforestation
and then he turns to you
expecting you to produce
When he ploughs your soils
Looking up to the clouds
You used to give a ****
But now you feed them back their poison
And their lives shorten
Retribution for being stubborn
And interfering with you
Mother nature
You heard them talking of space exploration
Look for life in another planet as solution
You just laughed
They think that they can destroy you
And leave for another planet
You are the only One
Blessed among the stars
To sustain lives
They will come running to you
Like the prodigal son
And maybe the rebellious
Shall have learnt a few lessons
Oh Universe
Its so fabulous
that you sustain all lives

*Her envisioned music rolls
Notes splashing like the sea,
Her endless ocean song
And my piano-one and free.
The passion in each salty song
Never wash away with rain,
And strong and never settling
The roar and surge sustains.
I can feel her breathing
And her warm arms holding me,
Their bouyant as floating boats
Giving me all of her I need.
The music is now ebbing,
And flows into channels of changing tides.
She kindly strokes my soft black hair
As I gaze into her deep dark eyes.
I'll awaken once she sets me free...*

The sea is becoming rapidly salty
No matter how much skies rain
The waves are strongly agitating
And my ship can no longer sustain
So again and again and again
I want you to look at my vane
I want you to be so much closer
I want you to heal all of my pain

The body is weary
The spirit is drained
Lord sustain me
Set my heart aflame
Guide my hands
In every act I do
Let me work
As though I work for you
Lift my thoughts
To dwell on higher things
And let the words of my mouth
Be like the song the sparrow sings
Lord the mind is willing
But the body
Is
Weak
