"assurance" poems
#*It's delight which flows without measure from the assurance that through every circumstance and detail of my life God is ever beckoning and drawing me into deeper intimacy with Himself, ever whispering to my heart, “Come closer still.” Joy in the midst of devastating loss, crushing disappointment, unbearable pain or scourging heartache is about the discovery of treasure so precious and rare that it never could have been found had we not been forced to walk a path of affliction in the desert. It's in the isolation and brutality of the wild that we come to know Him in ways that transcend the span of human imagining or desiring, and all the songs and all the poems and all the masterpieces taken together cannot capture an estimable description of the pleasures that might be unearthed there. There lies before us in our afflictions a vast and wondrous beauty yet undisclosed behind the fog, and like a theatrical curtain slowly pulled back to reveal a perfectly set stage He will sublimely unveil it in His own directed time. And we shall be elated at the view, for it's against a backdrop of struggle and darkness that the best and most moving of stories have always unfolded. Maybe nothing truly beautiful can ever take form on earth without the shroud of mystery and brokenness surrounding it— at least not the kind of beauty that takes our breath away and leaves us yearning to possess it.*#

#*Lord Jesus, Plower of my heart, though the darkness descends around me and heavy moods fall over me, though the warm feelings of intimacy begin to fade and encroaching melancholy threatens to set in like a cold reversal of the winds, still I will rejoice in Your presence with me, for You are causing me to press beyond— beyond the delightful sense of You and into the delightful assurance of You. If I know nothing else, I know that You are here, You are faithful and You love me. So I will keep clinging to that when everything else seems to slip like dust through my fingers and all hope of good things in this life grows dim. I will cling to the promise that You are clinging to me, that You’ve got me no matter what, that You are never leaving or letting go. For You are the unchanging I AM in my ever-changing circumstances, through my ever-shifting emotions, over my ever-shaking life and around my ever-feeble heart. Here is my hand, Lord Jesus. I put it safely in Yours and trust You to lead me through this dark night. Work Your holy, harrowing fingers deep into the soil of my heart until every idol is uprooted, every stone removed and every broken place restored. Thank You, Jesus. I love You.*#

~ The Assurance ~
An airplane knows With roaring confidence How to hold us in his heart And raise us up high above An airplane knows With daring assurance   When to take off and not stop until our destinations reached Because of all that Mentioned or not I put my trust in him And keep my dreams flying

An airplane knows
sometimes things that are so amazing, so wonderful… can confuse me. the emotions fog up the window           (my brain is clouded with thoughts) when the fog clears, there are beautiful blue butterflies flying around           (um...how’d they get there.). that’s what confuses me. could those be the same butterflies from my stomach that           makes me nervous around you. or are they a pigment of my imaginations, feelings that aren’t true and made up. (a soft warning of pain to come) (an assurance of how beautiful i really am) (a demon ready to devour me) what is it. i name this little blue— confusion. she’s beautiful but quiet. maybe i need her company. eventually the truth will hit her instead of hitting the window           (my brain is a pane of glass). you can leave this dungeon, papillon. fly! fly away with your gratefulness! be free!           (my imagination runs wild           like these butterflies) freedom awaits.

To be a mother is not an easy task, yet you do it proudly everyday no matter what is asked. You have turned your baby into a beautiful young lady. You were there for me since the very beginning and saved me countless tears. The pushy and wise advice you gave will carry me through the years. With my every mistake or wrongful deed, you were always there to understand. You put no limits on my dreams or anything else I wish to do. You never forget to say you care or that you love me too. The smile and tears upon your face when I achieve provides me with more value in my heart then you’d ever believe. There is no other person that will shape my heart the way you’ve done, your job finished perfectly for your precious daughters and son. We have had a rocky road through triumph and catastrophe, hard time and despair, but not a single moment of time of not having a wonderful mother there. You have always put in your last with love and my whole life is not enough time for me to repay you. We always put our disagreements to the side and manage to make it through. I know that my teen years have driven you crazy but you have guided me with assurance along the way. You have given me comfort and certainty with every breath I take within the day. Your little girl is growing up but your baby girl will always remain deep inside me. There are not enough words that can thank you for everything you have helped me through emotionally and physically. I have my whole future ahead of me and you are the women that has lead me and guided me towards the proper path. Thank you for being not only my mom, but my best friend.

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust Call this assurance if you must; But when it's time to say Farewell To one you love, it's just plain hell. There are no words, no healing balm, To fill the void, to ease the calm; And not a thing that one can say Will drive the quick hot tears away. We look upon the empty chair And seek the one no longer there; And so heartbreaking is the pain We question if we'll meet again. How grim indeed, if death should be The Bitter End--- Eternity; Just some vague dream conceived by Man And not a part of any plan. But God has taken such great care To note the sparrow in the air; His Love alone can cover all And Mark a simple Sparrows' fall. And if he cares for the birds that fly, then he must hear My Anguished cry; "Dear God, I yield my grief to Thee For Thou alone can comfort me."

Through the country paths, I lazily loitered, watching Nature in its changing hue straying farther into the interiors, sundry and sublime vistas came into view. in response to zephyr’s warm embrace, the silvery leaves joyously fluttered. the bees busied themselves collecting pollen and birds on tree tops merrily chattered it was the *** end of verdant spring. summer’s sun stood behind my head. bleat of sheep was heard from far. ‘Good day to you’….. Someone said. There stood on the hill, a boy around fifteen obviously he was of tribal breed. with a beaming smile, he greeted me but on walking to him, he ran like a steed I saw him disappear behind the trees and enter into a hut tiny as a nest he lived in the lap of Mother Nature, far from the city and its sooty dust being coaxed, he hesitantly came out. my tone of assurance and pleasing smile, seemed to have won his confidence as to a friend, he shared his eventful tale. pointing to the sheep grazing in the slope, he said, he earned a living caring the flock. he stayed in the woods all day long, feeding and tending his master’s sheep. from dawn to dusk, through woods and meads, he leads his sheep, calling them by their name. un vexed, with simple pleasures he is content and with a nomad’s life, he seems to be tame he said, at home he has his invalid mother. bringing her back to health is his mission in life on referring to his mother, I watched his eyes glitter nothing other than her illness posed to him a strife from every utterance, I could sense his filial love. even in abundance, while shadows line many faces, on his visage, hope lingered as a dancing flame to me he seemed above many, rich in other graces! While parting, I handed him a little money pausing unbelievably, with moist eyes he accepted it, when a breeze passed caressing us as if over a kind gesture, Nature seemed to rejoice!

Defining Joy
I am waiting till we turn 30. When emotions no longer reckless we seek stability and comfort. I am waiting till we unnumb. When temptations no longer ****** we crave for family and assurance. I am waiting till you see I am waiting.

Waiting
Innocence scrawled on a blindfold, "Unfair" whispered from within. Two subjective perceptions of the objective; Two dreams disguised as reality. Eyes glazed over with self assurance you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong. and now I'm sorry. Excuses emerge from hidden willful blindness, Searching for the core - where misunderstanding sits; Two mouths moving, saying nothing. Four eyes staring at the same painting, seeing different things. Two hearts so submerged in cement that they've forgotten to beat. The poisonous fog clears and drips onto our worlds melting all that we've built, but instead of taking everything, it's waken us up.

Misunderstanding
All this is flashy rhetoric about loving you. I never had a selfless thought since I was born. I am mercenary and self-seeking through and through: I want God, you, all friends, merely to serve my turn. Peace, re-assurance, pleasure, are the goals I seek, I cannot crawl one inch outside my proper skin: I talk of love --a scholar's parrot may talk Greek-- But, self-imprisoned, always end where I begin. Only that now you have taught me (but how late) my lack. I see the chasm. And everything you are was making My heart into a bridge by which I might get back From exile, and grow man. And now the bridge is breaking. For this I bless you as the ruin falls. The pains You give me are more precious than all other gains.

As the Ruin Falls
Lone walker, In the midst of the crowd his heart was always alone. Sank into the belly of tribulations, Unlike the missionary journey of Jonah he was vomited into more woes. Like how a beautiful mountain in a wilderness thirst for tourist So his heart was hungry for love. If loneliness is synonymous to poverty then he deserved this cross. Lone walker, He lonely walked on thorns, struggled with everything, sweated blood. He lived a life of trapped miners in a cave miles below fresh air. Lone walker, Rain of respite barely shower on his path. Sun bit his skin, dews often united with his tears, For there was no even a free den for him to rest his head. His days were worse than the trials of Job, For he had not even a wife to encourage him to curse God and give up the ghost. Like an eaglet without a falcon, he was accustomed to crying for his dying talents that was hidden too deep for any scout to discover. To him the world was empty and void of helpers Until a moment came when he decided to abort his worries, fears and his ugly past. In a flash he recalled the parable of the talents, In a speed of lightning he stood and put his hidden gift into use. I key my mind into the eyes of the reader of his biography, As I stood in the midst of his children offspring in his burial ceremony fit for kings, With the assurance that he is not walking alone to heaven or hell indeed And surely his once lonely heart would be filled with merriment and peace.

Negativity is nothing more than lack of assurance and doubt This is what this lesson in helping you to work out It means take negativity and build into positivity Think on Negativity being only a set back in how one feels Usually, Negativity comes from Negativity given It surrounds people that project Negativity because of circumstances that happened in one’s life They are the one’s that always sees negativity, but never work in seeing life as positivity You must look beyond your depressed thoughts, and suggest positivity That negativity causes people to not succeed Negativity becomes like a forbidden flood needing to reseed A person is focusing on someone else’s feed But negativity has no place face to face In fact, it’s all a waste The energy that one stresses on negativity, could be utilized on constructive positivity Negativity is a barrier like a detour, but you are only staying in one place No movement in a hopeful pace If you say today, the response would be tomorrow But what one is saying, they are drowning on sorrow Negativity is mental, but one must move into motivational Motivational is the action that will start you on your way Negative people now should be your getaway This is your lesson for today Go and achieve in every way Live on every day

NEGATIVITY BECOMES A CHANGE IN THE LESSON
In sable darkness and deafening sounds of her bedroom silence, she found herself aching in deep cogitation. The full moons brightness had peered in through her window pane, but with its light encompassed her with defeat and decay. Reality had settled in; as she felt her body slowly submerge, She knew she was no longer her own saving grace. She awoke in a place of death and morbidity, But awoke in a state of contentment and comfortability. Her agony remained; as the remembrance of today, the ideas of what will come tomorrow, and the hope of assurance to what she forebodes her future to be, with the life she leads. At last the words had finally escaped. “Bittersweet serenity.”

Solely Alone
If I can't stand and say something About injustice, hunger and poverty, I can at least do one special thing, I can write a very beautiful poetry. If I can't fight modern-day slavery, I can write and bring awareness. My pen is like a mighty artillery That can help stop this wickedness. If my frame is short for me to be seen, My mind is loud enough to be heard. It can take me places I've never been And give me a shelter and my bread. If I don't have fine clothes and jewelry, I have deep wisdom and intelligence. That enables me to write good poetry Capable of taking me out of decadence. If I don't have fine cars and houses, I have from Jah a blessed assurance. And peace inaccessible by noises, So I say thanks for life and Providence. ©IvanBrooksPoetry 22/8/2018

I need to love I need to love I need to love my heart is too big and it doesn't stop growing and my frantic mind is never slowing I need to let it go, I need to kiss boys and kiss girls and kiss people I know, and strangers with smoky breath and hazy eyes that won't remember the way my organs go fizzy and weak when I feel them breathing, onto my neck and near my ribcage, my ribcage too close to my heart, too close too close too close I need to develop child like emotions lustful moods swinging between one person to another person - I need to let go of what's in my heart this is the only way I know how and it's killing me I need love I need real love I need fake love I need assurance I need feelings that demolish my heart send it plummeting to dust and ashes and then the love will disperse and my heart will be crushed and it will be the end and then a new night will come with new boys and new girls and new love and it will build itself back up but stronger and the muscle in my chest will release itself the chains will break the ropes will untie it is ready to love but I am not and I will feel again I will feel too much I will feel things I don't understand I will feel in ways I know far too well and my mind will no longer function in the correct way, it will not work my brain will be submissive to my heart I am scared of feeling again

my brain will be submissive to my heart and I am scared of feeling again
I want you to hold my hand. Hold my hand so tight that my bones break and every crack whispers how much you really need me. The space between my fingers should forget what it's like to be empty because you'll fix each and every crease. Light a fire in my palms and melt away any other touch other than your own. I desire you. I am something worth destroying. Can't you see that I would rather be a pile of broken floorboards and shattered glass than an abandoned house, having never been touched by you? Burn your name across my body and tattoo it onto my heart so I understand what it means to love with a passion. I want to thank you. You've made minutes feel like decades by holding me until my internal clock shattered and the only perception I had of time was the beating of your heart. You turned words I was too afraid to speak into currency and now I am a millionaire with nothing to show for it except your smile. You filled my eyes with stars and heart with assurance so when pieces of me died I still had something left to believe in. You never gave up on me when everyone else did.

Promises Made, Promises Never Broken
sometimes when i am trapped inside my own mind and feel like i’m drowning in the taste of air, suddenly i am eight years old years, bobbing up and down in my wimpy life jacket my legs unsupported and there is still a chip on my shoulder a mile wide. sometimes i am still the five year old who balled her eyes out when her parents accidentally forgot and were late picking her up from preschool, sometimes i am still sixteen years old and in love with you sometimes i am a person i never thought i’d manage to grow into, sometimes i am a person i’ve yet to become.    i am juxtaposition of a thousand different versions of myself. i am equally the eight year old girl still afraid of the water as i am the almost-adult you so naively believed to be fearless, my self-assurance a really good halloween costume. i am a newborn at the same time as i am frail ninety year old grandmother. i am brave and i am terrified and i am naive and i am jaded and i am clean and i am ruined; i am a blank slate and i have been scribbled all over, my skin is smooth and untouched my skin has laughter lines and stretch marks. i am the creator and i am the destroyer, i am everything and nothing at all. i am the ocean and i am the desert. my lungs are failing as i’m breathing fine, and i can see the end and the beginning in equal clarity. sometimes i’m too old for my skin, weary like i’ve lived a thousand lives already and sometimes i am four years old with my knees hugged to my chest. sometimes we are two and sometimes we are twenty, sometimes we were nine and sometimes we are ninety. we are young and dumb and reckless at the same time as we are old and wise and careful. sometimes my father is still a gap-toothed five year old and my mother is still a tired old woman with shaking hands, and my brother is still an angry teenager with a bad hair cut. we are existing simultaneously and growing up is just getting really good at pretending that you’ve got your **** all figured out when you still feel like a lonely middle-schooler without a date to the mixer, alone in the middle to gymnasium floor. but that’s the thing, isn’t it? when you are cut open, when you are bleeding, when you have gaping holes in your nervous system your flesh heals over it scars, brand new. we are bleeding and we we are healed, we are ******* up and we are doing just fine.

A stranger she was Was it fate or Was it destiny That made us meet? Although never face to face I see in her amazing grace. Swiftly she moves To the rhythm of life. People trying to bring her down But she won't bow To the undeserving. *She is strong She is beautiful.* Ready to fight the world, In she will come Like a whirl. Assurance is what she needs And assurance I will give. "Love, don't be sorry" Said I to her, And poured my heart out Through these words. I hope she realizes The strength within, The power to face the world And not beat herself up. Cruelty never dies It's omnipresent. But she can conquer the galaxies If she wants. I believe in her with all my heart, Nothing comes above I will forever be with her *She is my love She is my soul sister.*

It’s true; I can never be separated, from the eternal Love of my Lord. No possible form of earthly trouble, can take away Salvation’s reward. The times of tribulations will pass, be it suffering, calamity or distress. Christ’s seed of righteousness in me, brings forth the joy of sacred rest. With my faith, I will persevere, moving through today’s affliction. Since I belong to Him, victory is… already promised, under His horizon. When the date of my final judgment comes, I will stand before Him and be embraced, with assurance, confidence and boldness, seeing myself… in the brightness of His face. . . . Author Notes: Loosely based on: Rom 8:35-37; 1 John 4:4, 17; Eph 1:17-20, 2:6 Learn more about me and my poetry at: http://amzn.to/1ffo9YZ By Joseph J. Breunig 3rd, © 2013, All rights reserved.

Poem: With Assurance, Confidence and Boldness
I failed to save another soul today. On my high patrol, I heard their last gasps leave their lips, and I let their salvation get away slipping through my super-powered fingertips. If I can write assurance to a thousand souls lost, humorous and witty "If I muster all the words that I know," I thought, "Surely I can save this city." But life can't be measured by honeyed words, and it's agony to see the souls' salvations that I'm missing beneath my red-caped nobility. Even if I flew higher still, with my cape waving proud and free, no great power I could bring to bear could match my responsibility. For every orphan girl I save, there's another not too far afield. For every chain broken, for every freed slave, there are chains that will not yield. I'd fly around the world and turn back time, but I know t'would be in vain. What's a single Superman to do, when the whole world cries to be saved?

The Superman Dillema
It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return. But what is more painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right ones, so that when we finally meet the right person we will know how to be grateful for that gift. Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion and the romance of relationship and find out you still care for that person. A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and you just have to let go. When the door of happiness closes another opens but often times we look so long at the closed door but we don't see the one which has been opened for us. The best kind of friend is the kind you can just be with.. never say a word and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had. It is true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it but it is also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives. Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they love you back. Don't expect love in return, Just wait for it to grow in their heart, but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours! There are things you'd love to hear, that you will never hear from the person whom you'd like to hear them from. But don't be so deaf as not to hear it from the one who says it from their heart. Never say goodbye if you still want to try. Never give up if you still feel you can go on. Never say you don't love a person anymore if you can't let go. Love comes to those who still hope, although they have been disappointed, to those who still believe, although they have been betrayed, to those who still need to love, although they have been hurt before and to those who have courage and faith to build trust again. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, a day to love someone but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Don't go for looks, they can deceive you; don't go for wealth even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make dark days seem bright. Hope you find the someone that makes you smile. Disclaimer: Not my POEM, so feel free to spread it out :)
