POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write from my heart
Through my eyes or heart
A heart deeper,than the color blue
With the depth of the ocean times two
Shattered into pieces
A time or two
Mended by tears
or maybe just hope
Grace
because when you break
Fall flat on your face
You learn
Who you want to be
Or who you don't
The strength in me
amazes me
I should be angry
but I am wiser
Instead
I should be hateful
bitter
But that ain't my style
I am going to keep
Tryin'
to smile till I remember how
Beauty from ashes
With the depth of the ocean times two
Shattered into pieces
A time or two
Mended by tears
or maybe just hope
Grace
because when you break
Fall flat on your face
You learn
Who you want to be
Or who you don't
The strength in me
amazes me
I should be angry
but I am wiser
Instead
I should be hateful
bitter
But that ain't my style
I am going to keep
Tryin'
to smile till I remember how
Beauty from ashes

Simple Wisdom Whispered To The Heart
Tongue tied profound simple wisdom,
Not overtaking illusions of complexity
Plain perceptive insights
Intuitive, heartfelt
Guided by light
Wandering, finding sight
With my heart as my teacher
Only half listening to my mind
I continue my journey through time
Sharing deep-seated seeds
To grow with hope
So simple... unembellished truth
An earnest student of life- I am
A teacher of simple wisdom
that comes from above- I am
Listening to the Great I am
Has made me who- I am
For no wisdom lies in me
If any be found, it is His...

Heartless, with a heart of gold...
Oh the weary, downtrodden... Soul
I see the light hidden in your heart
The one the enemy has always fought,
to put out...
But the embers are bright
If ever you see, the real you,
The one I see, when I look at you
The strength, the might, it takes to fight
To fight the demons within...
Oppressive spirits, that you've battled
Every step of the way...
But, your still walking...
Your embers glowing,
Bruised but not broken
Keep walking!

Your embers glowing,
Bruised but not broken

A peculiar people
The wretched years of a wretch, like me, like you
Produce the most amazing grace
Who would you be, had it not been, for your misery?
Would you be half the woman you are, without your scars?
Would your light shine, had you not walked in darkness?
Would you understand grace, without your mistakes?

Obey
You can't choose, when your chosen
You must walk in the order of Melchizedek
When the questions end
The answers will begin-Speak
The words given
Even in doubt
Utter help thy unbelief
Even if you stutter
or choose to write
You must let them out
For words are life
Or death
Sometimes in-between
But behind them are power
Somethings you are not meant to understand
Just obey
Because you can't choose, when your chosen
You must walk in the order of Melchizedek
When the questions end
The answers will begin-Speak
The words given
Even in doubt
Utter help thy unbelief
Even if you stutter
or choose to write
You must let them out
For words are life
Or death
Sometimes in-between
But behind them are power
Somethings you are not meant to understand
Just obey
Because you can't choose, when your chosen

A song bird
I sing a beautiful whisper of a tune so true but unheard
It hides behind every demeaning word spoken
Which tore my worship open
But silenced it simultaneously
It hides behind every demeaning word spoken
Which tore my worship open
But silenced it simultaneously

The wounded Soldier still fighting the war that is over
I lay this fight at His feet, far too weak.
Surrendering all, gonna lay under His wings.
Rest in protection
I've been fighting a fight
He already won.
Fighting when I should have been,
calling on His name.
Foolishly thinking I could accomplish,
anything in my strength
Woe to me, my prideful fist
Waging a war I couldn't possible win
For the battle is not mine.
Silly me, forever relearning lesson of wisdom already taught
Thinking I've mastered but still being schooled
Fooled myself into thinking I could stand
When I should have been...

Choose wisely
In the words of Bob;
There's a natural mystic blowing through the air;
If you listen carefully now you will hear.
This could be the first trumpet, might as well be the last:
Many more will have to suffer,
Many more will have to die -
If we have ears, can we hear?
If we have eyes, can we see?
Everything in the Spirit realm
is escalating...
The time has come, we can no longer ride the fence
It's either black or white
Grey no longer exist
Do not be deceived
Tangled up in the web of deception
Or mindfully blind

Tribulation
Unmeasurable capacity
Powerfully weak
Dimming bright light
Weary of the fight
But standing firm
Hands up
in surrender
But fist tightly
gripped
Walking blindly
forward
With both eyes open
while tears are
flowing
Powerfully weak
Dimming bright light
Weary of the fight
But standing firm
Hands up
in surrender
But fist tightly
gripped
Walking blindly
forward

The reflection of what was meant to break you
The life this heart has lived
It seems, distant
Far away memories
Long somewhat forgotten tears
Indifference
Self imposed apathy
But every now & again
my eyes twinkle
With a wisdom that can only
come from
The life this heart has lived
And, in the end
I suppose
I am thankful
I am me
I couldn't articulate
the depth of this
even if I tired
But there's something
in a persons eyes
When they are survivors
Fighters
When you become a warrior
you understand
that...

Fire
This heart is on fire
Purged from unhealthy desire
Pure in thought
Lost but found
No longer on shaky ground
Upon the rock I stand
With freedom in my hands
No plot of man
No scheme
Will change
This destiny
This heart is blazing
It will not go out
Fanning the flames
with the faith of a child
Purged from unhealthy desire
Pure in thought
Lost but found
No longer on shaky ground
Upon the rock I stand
With freedom in my hands
No plot of man
No scheme
Will change
This destiny
This heart is blazing
It will not go out
Fanning the flames

The condition of our hearts
The heart is mentioned 743 times-
in the bible
So, I'm guessing it is pretty important-
to God
Lips can speak one thing-
but the heart be full of another
Words are deceitful
Often hiding evil
But the eyes usually scream-
what is inside the heart
Pretending people
Hidden buried hurt
More often hate
But always pain
Will remain
It is imperative to healing
To place all of your heart in front of God
He sees through any illusion
So running
Is only a self made delusion
He sees YOU
The light never sleeps
Wide...
