Dribbling down creating waves.
Cut through the water knife like shapes.
A tear drop is all it takes.
Our love never at stake to leave like this would be a mistake.
The hardship of a word our lips won't partake.
Downward waves upon a tear filled lake.
Sometimes my eyes
Are the skies
Of the desert
Dry as the lies
That they told us

Sandy brown
On the ground
Parched particles
Pointy patches
Of cactuses

Insects and mole rats
Little lizards that run fast
And you may ask
Where is the metaphor
Well, everything is a
Metaphor for everything else
I know it should be cacti for the plural but cactuses works better.
The sidewalk crow
Picking at the stone
Like the streets were still his home
Nibbling at this mess
Of concrete flesh
Gasping and rasping
To catch a smog-less breath
Black thing shimmering
In the sweltering city heat
No worms to eat
Because he can’t crack
That grey concrete

of
our
sadness
can open up
into wide gulfs
of endless delight
and are oftentimes
the beneficent courses
needed to carry us there
There's a peculiar kind of beauty that can only be experienced
with the innate knowledge that the moment is fleeting
and the most intense beauty can only be seen in
the presence of both light and shadows.
For it’s often in the loss of a thing
that its worth to us becomes
most precious and by
letting it go with
grace we can
best savor
its purest
delights.
Realizing
that the pain
runs so deep only
because the beauty ran
so deep and that without
it having once touched us we
wouldn't now know the emptiness
of its loss, our grief will eventually turn to
thankfulness that it ever touched us at all, and
we will be left awed by the mystery of its haunting.

To agape love someone is to hunger
for their eternal life and their abundant life
even when it seems impossible to hope for them
I was one who once
Was not sure if I  believed in God
Then one day His
Reckoning came upon me
○My eyes opened○
I could finally see
His Holy Spirit
Is always surrounding me
♡The proof is actually amazing♡

I know those who are
¤Non believers reading this¤
Are thinking to themselves
"She must be crazy"
~Just think about what I have to say~
If your still not convinced throw it away
♥I know in my heart♥
The Lord will deliver one day!

I'll skip the most
Important detail for now
In Jesus Christ name
I bow

For instance the blind,
Do you think
It is just a coinkydink
All their other senses increase
When their vision sinks

How bout when your cruising
Down the highway
Bout 82 miles per hour
When an 18 wheeler
Switches over in your lane
Misses you by only an inch or two
If you would have been
Following the speed limit that day
You would have been through

I know what your thinkin
Stuff like
That happens all of the time
I say, my friend.
You got that right!
☆Ain't that fine ☆

Even when we are in doubt
Our Lord
Shines His light on us
★All of the time★
Just imagine what we could
Accomplish with true belief
Life would be
★SUBLIME★

1 CORINTHIANS 9:22
TO THE WEAK I BECAME WEAK,
TO WIN THE WEAK.
I HAVE BECOME ALL THINGS
TO ALL PEOPLE SO THAT BY ALL
POSSIBLE MEANS
**I MIGHT SAVE SOME
