God is Within
There is a tingling and
a gleam As I reach beyond the norm. Between the seen and unseen where many
dreams are born
As I nestle in this peaceful
light. In this place of total bliss. The blindness renders sight. In the darkness
of the abyss
From light to darkness...
let it be. An enlightened soul emerging
The heart becomes one with
Thee. As we see our defects purging
How has Thou entered my
soul without any delays?
And then I hear a whisper
say "I've dwelled in you always"
By Rachel
Light of the World
The snow flakes are falling
as the trees twinkle bright
there is a calm in the
air
A white Christmas tonight
A willowy blanket
makes the earth seem clean the dark night falls
and the new moon gleams
The quiet is deafening
The world is asleep
and everything is right
just the way it should
be
Some merrymaking abounds
with an aura of mirth with flute playing songs it
echoes the earth
Midnight mass
the candles burn bright
the sweet smell of incense
the flow of the lights
A luminescence speaks,
off the glow of the trees
reminds me of yesterday
when the world was so free
Our Lord thus speaks
A soft glowing whisper
“Love thy neighbor”
what a wonderful gesture
The world would be light
peace on earth would abound
if everyone remembered
to spread love all around
By Rachel
Struggles bring hope
Sometimes we
lose all that we have
It vanishes into
the abyss of the night
Our lives lie
bear, cold and dead
We wonder what
happened with great dread
Then suddenly
there is this vision
A tiny glimpse
of the future
Our blindness
is suddenly lifted
We find what
was always conflicting
We are now caught
between darkness and light
We struggle to
venture down the path that is bright
Our pain is subsiding,
our heart is on fire
We know it’s
there but we still can’t conspire
How do we get
there, I mean out of the tunnel
The tunnel with
two paths, one dark, one light
We ponder the
way not knowing which to choose
So again we ask
which way do we muse
The only way
out of the tunnel is this;
Hand and hand
with the one who has been there
A friend is gently
guiding the way
To get to the
place of a bright sunny day
Finally we venture
on the road that is bright
The one with
the hope and all of the light
But remember
this, and don’t ever forget
Let go and Let God
and you will be set
By Rachel

By Ashley
felt so unwanted to you, I felt so bad what was I to do?
You made me feel like I was just so played, So
I decided we needed to go our seperate ways.
Not 1 day goes by , without me thinking of what I felt before, But
it needed to stop, It had to end, So our love is no more.
I couldn't bare the fact that I had to let you go;- Mabey
this wasn't ment to be, Who knows.
You said I was speacial, You said I was the right one for you, But somehow
it all changed, So now we're done and through.
Fighting all these feelings for you Was really hard, But the
way you made me feel; It felt like you gave me a broken heart.
I know I still love you, And I know I still care, But
now it feels as if, You were just a person in my broken dream, Like as if you were never there.
You might not
feel the way I do, But the only reason i feel this way it because of you.
We all make the wrong turn, But no
one knew if this was right or wrong; But I had to make a choice and move on.
Now that you know how you made me feel, You
want another chance at my love, But I don'y know what to do, I need help from up above.
Voices go by me each
and every hour, Some say that I should give you another try, And the others say "let it be, He needs to learn" But
when this happens, I don't know where to turn.
You now say that you'll do anything for me, Your life wouldn't
be the same without me by your side And that you wont make me feel like I felt before, But i don't know why you're only
saying this just to get me back in your life, When you know our love is no more.
I can't believe what you're doing; Trying
to make me think that I want you back, But the way I felt....I can't live like that.
Just remember that in the end, That
you wont get me back, All because of you, Because I can't live like that.

What is silence? this question we all know. is the thing that makes
you happy, that rocks you to and fro.
what is silence? that subject you will see, it's the thing that makes
you speechless, that brings you close to me.
what is silence? the answer you now find, it's the secret of security,the
thing that makes you mine.

The Leaves of Life
The majestic
trees stand strong and tall Some have lasted till the fall Their leaves shine with hues of red The ones that haven't
fallen dead
The weak leaves never found their goal, of turning leaves to tender gold They fell before their colors
changed The storms just swept them away
They never did fulfill Gods' plan, to bring their leaves to brilliant
golds These poor leaves could not go on, so they just fell to the ground
The strong leaves on the other hand, held
strong against the storms And finally fulfilled God's plan for them, of changing colors in the fall ********************************
The Weeping Willow
The weeping willow weeps for us It knows the depths of our demise They
weep for children who were abused Those who suffered from those accused,
These bad men did not comply, to laws
they should have carried high They stripped the young of innocence They paved a life of suffering
They robbed
them of their faith, Sentenced them to a life time of mistakes And what resulted from the pain, was weeping willows
crying out in vain

Een liefdesgedicht
WHAT SOFTENS ME AGAIN AND AGAIN?
WHEN HE CRIES:
unreal, hard, pearls of glass
rolling from his mask
glued on his skin
unrooted in hart and soul
standing apart from his real self
that - ignorant of itself
can think to be everything
what it meets in the mirror -
can be anything
except itself.
MASTER OF HEALING!
Means.... woundhealer! This is so valuable, so valuable! Master of
healing! That is a revelation, isn't it?
Thank You Father...
For the images which come up... For the words
which come up... Which can be fixed! Makes us attentive! You reach on to us! YOUR Son!
'I am the way, the
truth and the life'
Your Son, our master of healing... Thank You Father... That is a revelation, isn't it? Master
of healing! This is so valuable, so valuable! Means.... woundhealer!
MASTER OF HEALING!
~~~
Maria van Popering
WHEN HE TOUCHES ME:
empty hands dangling
from the upholstered arms
of a puppet,
lifeless, heartless, without any content,
baldheaded, pale faced,
no bloodvessels - only
holes
left behind by the knitting needles
while creating that colourless,
long jacket covering the nullity -
taken into his arms, safety -
given the ILLUSION of being held,
is merely - being fooled.

Little Girl's Soul in a Woman's Body by Kim
I went to him, the soul damaged and freyed The heart of a little girl... Yet not Searching for healing, acceptance, worth, and bright light
One more time the heart was vulnerable Once over the hesitation of him being male It was easy For he was the trusted He was His carrier of love His distributor of the Word He was trusted to carry the light to others He wore the garments He preached the perfect stories He wore the warm smile He offered his nurturing It was his calling he might say
There
I was My soul in the palm
of my hand Handing it to
him to hold and nurture To
aid and help to heal To
be the hands of God in human form To be the light of God I had so longed for To heal me from my painful past To show me there is light and heart In a world I had come to know as a playground A playground for those who wanted to play dirty Surely, he would not harm me For he was doing His work as his calling He saw me as He did Through His eyes
He
said all the right things to reassure me He showered me with comfort Calming eyes and smile Ever
so subtly His goal to groom
me Ever so slightly Moving in... Inside my mind, inside my soul... Until he had it all in his hands Everything about me I'd revealed My wounds, my pain, my insecurities... He held them in his hands...
I saw him...finally Really saw him... It was almost too late... He quickly turned around As if to shoot and kill me He'd already raped my soul... My spirit...my heart... And parts of my body
What was I left with? Already from a lifetime of wounds I now had to somehow recover from the worst of them Him...
How do I find faith again? How do I trust again? Will I? Who is there
to comfort me now? Who dries
my tears?
I've become so withdrawn now It's been much too long since I've been embraced... Where is God? Where is the light? Where is the justice? Where is my soul?
Though the road is
dark... I must keep going
to find the light.. Keep
searching for light and love... I must find my soul... A
soul I've never really known.. Jesus is my only way... I know that.
My courage must keep me alive now The courage provided from my God My Jesus My Savior
He will
see me through He will bring
me to the light... He will
turn the evils thrust upon me He will turn them into good through me Somehow...
I must continue and not give up I must do it for Him I am His child He hasn't given up on me I am His child... The little girl inside this woman...I am. I will reclaim my soul...the soul of a little girl... The soul of the woman I am.. And the beauty that lies within. |

The Storms of Life by Mary
The storm erupts into our lives
It's gushing wind and rain is high
With whirling winds and rising tides
Its force awakens like a lie
We suddenly are struck with fear
Not knowing if we'll die
Like little children in a jam
We want to run and hide
We need a life boat to escape,
to take us to a place thats safe
We know if we could just
endure
We'll see the sun come out for sure
But doubt has given us no hope
This feeling of such loss
We certainly don't know how to cope
Our hearts pound with a cost
Why have we let this fear abide
Surely we know that good will ride
Out of the storm we know for sure
That sunny days will break the tide
But when you're whirling in the storm
There is no way to see the shore
Our blinding eyes are much
too closed
To see the ending He has chose
To our amazing wondering eyes
We see a boat that just arrives
A refuge from the raging rain
We now are lifted from our pain
It came before we drowned with tears It came before our souls had fear
We couldn't fathom how it came
We only knew this was no game
He came to lift us far away
To tell our minds not to sway
To keep us in abiding faith
We had to go to this fierce place
How did this life boat find us?
Who steered the sturdy oars?
Who could have so much love and might,
that lifts us from our plight?
God comes to bring his
blinding love,
an everlasting light.
The radiance comes just in time
to help us through our plight
Just once I wish I trusted Him
when rains were beating hard,
I have to know, not just believe, He always will abide
Peace
Mary
Who Gave You the
Right?
You think you're
so funny
You think you're so smart
Helping your
temptations
Wounding my heart.
Touching and whispering
words I can't hear \
I tell you to stop
but, you do not care
You told me not to say a
word,
So I kept my mouth shut
and now all
because of
you, I make my first cut
The pain inside is
deeper
than this slit in me
How could you do this
betraying me with a kiss.
Just a child,
So unaware,
I tried to
scream
and no one hears.
So now I'm trapped
in my own little hell,
where I can't scream
and I can't yell.
Now I'm living
All alone
A frightened child
that's so unknown.
Nobody chose to
hear my screams,
Nobody listened
to my yells
All because of your
unforgiving touch
My life is a living hell.

Gods Creation
Upon all the winding roads we travel In our walk upon this
earth We must pause awhile to marvel Amidst our constant life-long search At this wonderful creation That
God has crafted here below Raise our voice in celebration Our appreciation we must show
Must thank him for
the little things And for the grand things too For the beauty every season brings The growth of things brand new
For all the wonders that around us lurk We must humbly bow down low As we gaze upon such skillfully sculpted work
Up to God our praise must flow

THERE'S PEACE HERE WITH ME
There's peace here with me There's peace
here with me From the blood of Calvary There's peace here with me.
contributed by Gramma
*********************
An original untitled poem by my 16 year old son. Its about the horrible sniper attack.
The slight
displacement of a better day
motivates me to stay away
and
the ringing of a distant cry
Echoes
off a battlefield
around
and back again
to let
me understand the best I can
these
shots ring out throughout my head
aside
me fall the mighty dead
around
the center of attention
the
tension mounts
and
crowds, crowd round
as gazing
eyes scan the horizon
looking
for a distant shadow
to ostracize
and fly away
but
that shadow goes undiscovered
as mother
cry and children weep
as the
silent demon creeps the shadows
around
me as the battle cries echo
the
silent demon stalks his prey
dusk
falls on another day
gossip
spreads an old wives tale
common
sense is not as common
as hysteria
sweeps the land
tis
time to part and 11 are gone
beyond
the echoes of photographs
beyond
the sound of cymbals crash
slightly
surpassing superior beings
gravely understanding
the past again

MOMENTARY ME
BY KELLI DENEEN JOHNSON
WHAT I AM GOING THROUGH NOW IS ONLY THE PAST REARING IT'S UGLY HEAD TO LET ME KNOW
I AM NOT WHO I USED TO BE BUT I AM ON MY WAY TO BE WHAT I CAN BE.
THE THINGS I GO THROUGH ONLY STRENGTHEN ME FOR THE TEST AND TRIALS LATER. I AM
NOT WHO I WANT TO BE BUT I AM NOT WHO I USED TO BE BUT I WILL GET THERE. I MAY FALL BUT I WILL NEVER FAIL. MY HEART WON'T
LET ME STOP UNTIL I FIND THE REASON IT BEATS SO IMMENSENLY.
THE MORE I FALL THE MORE I GET UP READY FOR SUCCESS WHERE I LEFT OFF AT. I TAKE
IT DAY BY DAY AND WOULD NOT HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY.
I FIGHT DAY TO DAY JUST TO BE ME. SO I CAN MAINTAIN, SUSTAIN, AND ATTAIN MY FUTURE,
MY RIGHT AND MY PLACE IN THIS WORLD. BECAUSE I AM KELLI DENEEN JOHNSON AND I HAVE A RHYME, A REASON AND A WAY.

A Poem From Cathryn Blue..........to all of you! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I
think alone within my mind My thoughts are rare, but often kind......... I pray for those I have never met And wish
them well with much respect............
I wish for once I could scream so loud While standing in a certain crowd Of
those who write the laws of crime So they may see the tears I cry....
I ask for help, for now I'm lost consumed
in self pity at a very high cost Oh....open your eyes and tell what you see....... I know I look different, but trust
me........it's me!
Dark puffy circles are under my eyes >From pleading for mercy ..............merciful cries... I
may seem worried and rely most on Faith... Because I know I am loved by God's sweet embrace!.
God Bless All!!

A poem from Cindy
Talk to me, let me hear What makes you happy, what makes you fear. I'm here for you day
and night, Spend time with me; let me be your light.
Talk to me, let me hear What brings a smile, what brings
a tear. I want to listen; I want to know That you care for me, that you love me so.
I know your thoughts, they're
very clear. But it's your voice I want to hear. Talk to me, share what's in your heart. Don't let the cares of this
world keep us apart.
I want to help, I know you have need I'm here for you but I will never plead. Talk to me,
take time to see I am with you always; take time for me.

The Way To Heaven
You take away my fears and doubt When I'm in the dark crying
out... For the kind of love only you can give, You gave your life so I might live...
You have taken the tears
that I have shed Which brought me out of the living dead... I've been reborn that I might see The unconditional love
Christ has for me...
The pain you endured on that cross So I could be found no longer lost... Thank you for hearing
me when I cry out From the painful place of fear and doubt...
I am grateful for your love each and every day That
you died on the cross to show me the way... To Heaven
By Gail
The Living Dead
I was once among the living dead not following my heart, I
ran my life by my head that's why it fell apart.
I took to drugs and alcohol which turned my soul quite dark; Now
I have a second chance to listen to my heart.
Thank you God for loving me and showing me the way, For giving me
your light of love each and every day.
You've taken me from the painful dark among the living dead, Giving me another
chance to live my life again.
By Gail
Thank you for adding your poems to my website, each and everyone of you. Keep writing. It's what
keeps the spirit strong and the heart filled with joy.
Peace dear friends,
