Awaken (Thought I'd Share)
Permalink  

After seeing the post of The Awakening, I thought I'd share a poem that I wrote about 3 years ago, as I was just sitting one day and decided to write and 5 minutes later....  This is what I composed.   I have to say, I feel it's one of my best and most powerful poems I had ever written without even trying.  In turn, I've learned that writing is an awesome way for me to strengthen my relationship with God.  :)  Enjoy!



Awaken

Morning sun shining through
Leaves misted with light dew
A breathe of air, fresh and clean
A blanket of grass grows so tall and green

Hearts profound
Love shared by two
A blessing from God
Denies any Facade

Eyes sparkling with a radiant smile
Laughter and joy shall beguile
A first breathe of life innocently taken
An internal peace soon forsaken

Falling rain clouds the sky
Lightning and thunder rage and defy
A life long battle begins again
An awakened discovery of what is feign

Abstain this life brought into
Get back to the truth in beautiful view
Return to what had naively been taken
Believe in your hearts and be miraculously awakened

Thank you david and cloud for your kind words....   Writing has ALWAYS been a source of peace for me and so healing.  I suppose that is what prompted me to write my autobiography. 


Take Care!  :)

I have one more for ya both---  I actually had entered these on www.poetry.com and was nominated for winning an annual award for them.  I didn't attend though because I was so busy and really don't do it for recognition, but more for inspiration and to express my feelings.  :)))


Both were included in an anthology of poetry though that was published the years I submitted them.  I thought that was kinda neat considering I just sat down and wrote in about 5 minutes-- didn't take much effort, just came from the heart.    That is WHERE I always want to be..... in touch with my heart. 


The Dawn


The Heart grows kinder with each passing day
When realization of Christ comes your way

Sadness departs and is replaced with peace
All of your cares so easily cease
To the care of God, your mind can ease
Just as wind blowing gently through trees

The sky illuminates a brand new day
As the sun glisten on an oceans bay
The waves beat against a shore
As the seagulls fly above with freedom to soar

God gives us this life to do what we choose
It is by our choice if we choose to win or lose
Trials and tribulation will take their turn
However, it is still for God that we should constantly yearn

He can promise a life filled with peace, love, and joy
Only a life of sorrow He can destroy
So when times are difficult and you feel you cannot hold on
Give your cares to God and be patient for the dawn
