My Foolish Heart

I come to You and weep

Holding every shattered fragment

Of the heart I was to keep

But foolishly let someone take it. 

They seemed to care

And told me they’d stay

But when I needed them there

They swiftly ran away.

Is loving someone worth it?

Will it ever end without pain?

Will I someday see the summit?

Is it worth th…[Read more]

That’s beautiful @livingwoodchronicles

Thank you @grcr 😊

Beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed it!!

It’s crazy that I just happened to write a poem on war and peace as well.

I called it Freedom’s Cost

I look around and ponder peace

As I stand upon a blanket of snow

But I also see a history 

That there their blood did flow.

A river of crimson covering the ground 

To defend our beautiful land.<…[Read more]

This Generation

This isn’t a particularly encouraging poem. But it’s one of my most recent one. I wrote it after a particularly trying night at youth group. The youth group at my church consists of 90% community kids which is awesome but when there’s almost 50 of them and they have zero church background and most have broken/dysfunctional famil…[Read more]

Thank you @janelle

Here’s another one

Unfailing Love

Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the Lord, who has compassion on you. Isaiah 54:10

I love how you work, oh Lord.

You show me Your Word

At the moment I need it.

When I’m…[Read more]

Thank you for reviving this Janelle. Here’s one of my most recent ones:

Another year has begun

And with it a new rising sun

Surveying the year I’ve left

Things I felt. Saw. Places went.

Flying by like a jet plane

Flowing by in a mere moment

 

A year of mountains and valleys

If meadows and dark gulleys

Of pruning and growth

Of bro…

Love the imagery. I live right next to the sea and was able to visualize it very well. (I must say sitting on the seashore is such a nice quiet time where poetry comes easily to me)

I would repeat what the others said about the last lines but in general it’s a lovely poem. It shows how the mind and soul of the author can feel trapped in dark s…[Read more]

Depression’s Expression 

Surrounded by people

But I push them all away

They ask me if I’m alright

But I can’t find the words to say

I reach for the Comforter

But I can’t find clear thoughts to pray

Exhausted beyond all thought

I become like a robotic thing

Checking endless tasks off my list

With a constant ping, ping, ping.

T…

That’s beautiful @janellebelovedpig ! And thank you so much. 😊

Love it. 😆

Here’s one of my more recent ones:

True Victory

They’ve been promoted to glory

Because Jesus was their story.

 

They lived a full life of service

And are now in their Saviour’s embrace.

 

Spent their share of blood, sweat, and tears

And are now free of all pain and fears.

 

They have passed into paradise

Where sin can no longer entic…

I like it. 😊 💕

@mineralizedwritings

I LOVE the poem. I feel like I relate so much to that lately.

And attaching it to a character would definitely evoke a deeper more emotional connection to them.

@ancancello Thank you 😊 💕
