Hey everybody,



I love poetry and just wanted a place to share it with others and here other people's poetry... I'll start with one of my poems I wrote that was inspired by the prayer of my senior pastor this fall. It's titled "Seasons Collide":



The rain falls down in gathered puddles

Beneath my feet, washing away stains

Of all my mistakes and breaking pains

And memories of long, soft cuddles



The wind howls at my face as I break

Tears fly behind me in anguish now

Leaving me questions of why and how

But now I've put far too much at stake



I stand in the ocean, in waist deep

As the wave knocks me down, I just drown

In purity that washes me clean

I fall hard and fast in peaceful sleep



The sun beats on my dry, sandy feet

My hands touch the ground in hope for rain

So that I could gain some direction

All these years, I still seek affection



The snowflake flutters onto my nose

Piles of them, above the road they rose

Even past my cold, prostrate body

I wish for time to be frozen, stop



The leaves whirlpool around my stature

All the brown, gold, red, and orange consume

My thoughts, they spin in constant sequence

Past all the concepts of consequence



I love to be captive in His arms

His love, His kindness, it captures me

His nature so raw, it sweeps me up

And puts me face down in reverence



By: Joshua Murphy





Now let me hear yours....

hey I just wrote something just now tell me what you think



In Jesus everything IS Possible



I feel so broken and jaded

so torn from my inner part of my heart

but inside I will heal

I know I've been crushed

I know I've been torn apart

but when my tears flow gently

it makes me feel good on the inside

you got me thinking ways I never knew I could

i just look myself in the mirror

and I think man wow

how can anyone turn this face down

all I ever needed was in jesus

all I ever needed was his love

his embrace, his touch

not even realizing that the devil

can not touch me

because I'm saved by Jesus's love and grace

In Jesus we are better than the devil

In Jesus we can stomp all over the devil

IN jesus we are set free from pain, brokenness, hunger and most of all of our sins

Paradises grace is like unto a rose that falls to the ground craping against the dust.



In an on going parady till the color of the rose water is seen on the dust makeing the dust that had been breathed into beauty.



Thus the Father can use the dust like red ink writing anew story.



Of how the rose that had been broken and lives again.



By bringing breath back into the dust that formed into life these dry bones live again Elijah.



The roses blood is are blood making us children of the "King" and we as children are nolonger scarlet yet blood bought.



Do you like? You had sparked a dream of mine. About people dressed with rose prints on their cloths arrayed as a mighty army.

GOD WILL NEVER FAIL YOU

BY HELEN STEINER RICE





When life seems empty

and there's no place to go

When your heart's troubled

and your spirits are low

When friends seem few

and no body cares

There is always God

to hear your prayers...

And what ever you facing

will seem much less

When you go to God

and confide and confess,

For the burden that seems

too heavy to bear

God lifts away

on the wings of prayer

And seen through God's eyes

earthly troubles will diminish

And we're given new strength

to face and to finish

Life's daily tasks

as they come along

If we pray for strength

to keep us strong...

so go to our father

when troubles assail you,

for his grace is sufficient

and he'll never fail you

The poems world is trapped raw emotion inside ones heart. It burst forth through pen creating words. Wonce read by others. It come alive through their own heart. Thus they feel the emotion from the heart. In an over welming sensation. Through the thought world of the artists geniouse compensations. Of their lifes rhyme.



"Yes Here I am lord."

I grasp at my heart in darkness. Theirs light Yah has saw every side of me. He knows the very artist of my poetic being.

This is really awesome! I'm really enjoying getting the opportunity to read these poems! Thank you everyone for sharing. Here's another poem of mine that I wrote recently. It's called:



"The Chase"



It stands to rest, among the best

That all reason and wisdom gained

Still can never fully attain

A point or mark of perfection at best

But, the chase must go on

So the catch can be strong

Enough to carry forward

A soul beaten and seeking reward

To leave no trace of regret or fear

And bury that passion to a heart that's near

I looked in your eyes. I saw tears streaming down. Falling like rose petals to the ground. Oh this is sorrow. Not knowing one's love. Even if near yet. So far to grasp. Here I took your tears. And placed them in the air. Now tears you are red butterflys floating. To bring graceful happyness.



No longer sorrows to this person I hold dear. Remeber let your heart beat. Against the darkness. Then you will find the person who matters most. laughter comes sorrows are many. Yet your portion is to be with the one God gave you to. Destiny will float to you like crimson beads. On a bloods moon night. Making smiles never fading under the pale star light. While I play a glass violin sweetly. Ever so soft sing for me only you can finish. Your lifes story hum to me the tune. I need to know it in order to remeber about you. I.wish.to.know.you.



What is your lifes story in a tune?

"Of knowing his joke"



Laughter laughter pitter patter. This is the sound of ones own voice after making waves.



It was rainy my friend told me a joke. I fell over my body made waves. When the water splattered. I made my own ocean sway through pure fun. I even danced in the mud. Grabbing my hurting stomach so hard. He made me cry laugh with pain. All less in one day.



These are the joys of child hood friends play even in muddy pants.
