ArtisticSoul View Profile	*Poems, Riddles and Jokes* Posted : 1 Feb, 2009 11:25 PM "Midnight Poetry" I thought I'd shell out a few words of peace tonight before I go to sleep and what better way than in poetry to express my thoughts to thee in a letter that saves a living tree, one that is older than both you and me firmly rooted in grass of green right next to a peaceful flowing crystal stream that winds its way through the valley, past the towns and trashcan alleys until it finally reaches the salty sea with an appearance that no longer is desirable to drink...at least not to me In a way we're just the same, we start out pure and then make mistakes that either just direct our fate towards what we continue to make of life or either turn us toward the righteous path traveled by Jesus Christ. A road that is very much untraveled but well thought of and liked in a world where sin and temptation are hurled at us left and right as if to be the pollution a mountain stream has to battle with and fight before it finally finishes out the course of its short lived life. Yes I do sometimes feel like this comparison is very real and much alike as I make my way through the day towards that final end of life where I'll be old and gray much wiser than today in thought and sight but thin and frail as slow as a snail having very little strength or might to crawl out of bed and head outside into the mornings golden light to watch the misty dew melt away or watch the baby birds take flight only then to breathe my last and complete this course of life purified by death from the blood shed by Christ

ArtisticSoul View Profile	*Poems, Riddles and Jokes* Posted : 22 Dec, 2008 12:02 AM ~Angel Whisper~ I heard a distant whisper come a echoing through the trees I turned and looked west...then east...but nothing I did see. I only felt the gentle touch of the midnight breeze. Back to my book I turned when again I heard a sound Come sailing on the breeze like an elegant feathered fowl but still... I was unable to make the whisper out I arose from my chair and turned around and stared Scouting out the tree line expecting something there When again I heard a whisper come floating through the air Uncertain but quite sure a question is what I heard Fleeing from the forest with the wings of a bird Asking "What is it you search upon this earth?" Silently there I stood unsure if I should speak Uncertain if this question was even addressed to me When again with the wind the echo returned to me This time I spoke but in a whisper of my own Still in a voice of confidence and authoritative tone "I seek to fulfill the will of God...and that alone" I stood there waiting for somekind of response or sign Listening while looking towards the tree line of the pines Yes waiting there I did for quite a length of time I began thinking I'd imagined that this was taking place or perhaps it was just another testing of my faith Unsure of either I sat back down to contemplate How I could grow stronger in my faith as the hour grew late.
