What can I say so that you will understand that-
I care for you
I hope for you
I pray for you
What can I do to show you that-
I appreciate you
I respect your hard work
I am here for you
What can I say and do to help you know that
I have faith in you
I believe in you
And that I do LOVE you
I want you to know that…
Where there is peace there is joy
Where there is joy there is laughter
Where there is laughter there is love
For LOVE is the greatest gift of all

That which is peculiarly unique is better than normality.

In the loneliness of darkness
Surrounded by the shun of grey
There beneath the willows standing
Faith awaits the light of day
In the swallowing of darkness
Waves and waves consuming me
There beneath the darkened waters
Hope breaks forth to set me free
In the fading of the darkness
Chains no longer keep me bound
There beneath the wings of healing
Love became my solid ground

Moments leave imprints
Imprints of memories
Memories that moves
Moves a heart that cares
Cares for the many
Many and the few
Few who do matter…
Like me and you

I wait with hopeful anticipation
And a faithful heartbeat
For your response
But I find myself still waiting
Still wondering
Still hoping
Then I realize
If I have entrusted you
To our I Am
That means
I should by faith
Choose to
Trust in Him completely
Absolutely
Unconditionally
With you and your life
And so I surrender
To His mercy and grace
For me
And for you

We talked about leaving this space
And what reasons helped me to stay
Faith in YHWH
Love for my family
Because a choice like that ripples and can darken.
You see, life’s journey can be darker than dark blackened by the onslaught of the abusiveness of society and relationships with its constant badgering of “exit stage left”.
Why?
Because you’re different?
Because you’re not normal?
Because you don’t fit into the world’s system?
Then again,
I love being different
I love being uniquely peculiar
I love that I don’t fit into the system of this world…
Because I am “me”
Created especially for Him
Created to inspire, encourage
To bless and to share love
The love from the One whose Love
Is constant, gracious and forever 🤍

Darkness encircles me,
a cyclone
entrapping me in its whirlwind,
a whirlwind of destruction
and mayhem
Its purpose,
to pursue me, to drown me
with the blackness that wants to consume me in every way
as it vents its rage upon me,
bringing thoughts that persuade me
with its clanging that death would be my reprieve,
for the suffocating of my light leaves me in throes of its torture.
As the consuming continues,
the violation of my will,
(because of the abuse)
begins to buckle under the onslaught of extreme intense proportions.
I struggle, I fall, I cry
I’m dying inside
Dare I ask for help;
for someone to pull me out of this cyclone-
Yet how can I burden others
with my own struggles, my own falling, my own shattered brokenness?
Through the blackened night
I hear my name,
they call to me-
Those who love me
those who care for me
those who would move mountains
and forge rivers to reach me
For even in the darkness
there is a sliver of hope
a mustard seed of faith
a safety of love
For I am
redeemed, loved
needed, valued
appreciated
I am reminded from where my help comes from
for the Lord sends His angels
in the spiritual and the tangible
To rescue me
to battle for me
to protect me
He reminds me
I am not alone 🙏🏻

What better way
To enjoy the day
Then to cruise with the one
In the Hawaiian sun
Seeing the ocean
Such poetry in motion
With sand in our toes
As the breeze flows

Distance seems so far
As far as it is
from the earth to the moon
Whether physically
or in ♥️

The beauty of hope
Is in the heart
Of one who believes

She walks toward the box, hesitantly
Its corners a bit tattered
Its color faded by years of just sitting
As it waited for her arrival
As she gazed upon the box, crusted with dust, she wondered, pondered, considered, even questioned herself:
Should I open it? Dare I open it?
Why would I open it?
More importantly, do I need to open it?
She fumbled with the fragility of the tape (which no longer was able to keep the box sealed) as it crumbled in her fingers while opening the box.
She paused for a moment as she saw the yellowing tissue paper staring at her. She took a deep breath, removed the tissue paper and then exhaled… slowly.
Inside was every piece of hurt, pain and hardship that she hid from the light. Every piece of emotion that was dealt her way through his abuse.
She had tucked all of that away, or so she thought, from view. Her view. A view that she wanted to believe never really existed.
But the time was drawing near.
How would she be?
Would she react or respond?
Would she flinch or allow herself to embrace the opportunity to heal and move forward?
They say “only time will tell”
But time… is already here

@writersnetwork Thank you so much for the kind repost
It means a lotBy folding
virtues and vices
Smiles and tears
Dreams and desires
Love and happiness
in the paper of soul
And then covering it
with the fabric of skin
God created the masterpiece
of his origami
and named it the human

Warriors Final Due
The moon had held a wickedness
So unlike many of night I've seen
Embraced in an eerie listessness
While projecting an ominous scene
This night a warriors life was lost
One who unselfishly fought for all
She'd pay no matter what the cost
Her battles she picked, was her call
See it wasn't by beast's razor claw
She was too wise for them you see
Warriors hold at least one fatal flaw
One taking her life setting her free
It was much like an evil deception
One thing she was unprepared for
Like every rule held an exception
This one cut deep to her very core
The downfall of so many it seems
Struck down by the blade of a love
Laying there her blood did stream
Had to rise was all she thought of
High above that love raised his sword
With a swoop drove it deep in her heart
Her eyes stared at the one she adored
He broke her soul, that's the worst part
Her story will live on for the good done
How what a brave soul she held so true
Yet she knew for all the battles she won
Brought her even closer to her final due

Embrace the fall gracefully
But refuse to give up flying one more time

We let plastic sprout
on her green heart that parents us.
We give no heed to her aching shout,
as creatures come to life,
breathing smoke, grime and fume.
We let her cry and bleed, grey and black,
while stealing her sterling essence.
We say we're building the future,
but perhaps, all she wants,
is to care and nurture
her sons and daughters.

I wished it wasn't this hard to breathe
On mundane lips when I blew a kiss,
I wished it turned into the once new leaf.
On nights when tears drained every memory on my pillow sheet,
I wished I had more to weep.
For love dressed in bare skin and bones
I wished there was a soul to feel.
Days when reaching out to someone seemed so desperate,
I wished I had my own heart to reach.
And so as your bellicose lies cause unrest in what is left of me,
I wish I didn't feel so comfortable in this chaos you created within me.

Confusion
My mind is swamped with thoughts of love and hate,
Pain and happiness,
Chaos and peace.
Do I go to the right where nothings left,
Or to the left where nothings right?
Do I love him,
Or hate him?
Am I crazy,
Or just different?
Can someone really love me? -

She had an emptiness
That couldn't even be filled by love
Her heart became a bottomless pit
Surging with despair
She forever prayed for just a flicker of light
To chauffeur away the darkness within her
She had lost herself in her brokenness
Her soul had scattered like broken glass
She didn't want to be healed
But rather,she wanted to be saved

She is always making a sacrifice,
She teaches survival through advice,
Advice she learned hard in her own life,
Unconditional love always,
Making you better on your worst day,
Always leading the way though she is afraid,
Don't forget to say thank you,
Because your mother is worth more than they taught you...
"One Mother"
