Poetry is like painting with words to me or creating a song without notes. It is highly creative and subjective. I love sharing my poems with others in hopes that they will touch and connect us more.

Let this be my warrior cry. If life is a battle field I will fight. I am in God's army. I will be on His side. My battles are His. Let me put on my armor. I will stand my ground. I will fight with God's righteous love, not against the seen but what is hiding underneath.

Back in 2013 I wrote and posted Never Repeat. The next year I did a poetry reading of it. I was then going to put it in To Love, but as I edited it and focused the book on the love the poem didn’t fit anymore. Now I get to share it with you here, again.
Never repeat not a single word only write your heart, the soul deep inside. Let out one song singing it loud be proud of the depths that are felt dreams while live. Remember this day happens but once so shine light with smiles, cherish love and see everything; never repeating not a single word.

In a Bible study I’m part of we practice putting scripture in our own words in order to better understand what the Bible says. I love doing this and once did it with Psalm 23. Here is my version of Psalm 23.
Lord, You are my leader and guide. I will follow you. You lead me to abudance in life and refreshment for my soul. You restore my soul, which You created. You lead me on the path of what's right and good. I may walk through scarry and dark times, yet I don't have to fear anything. You are with me. You will protect me and that comforts me. You prepare a wonderfull feast for me and even though my enemies may be around who cares? You bless me and call me your own. I overflow with Your blessings and love. As I follow You Your goodness and Your mercy follow me. Forever Your love will be with me and I will love and live with You, Forever.

This is a throwback post to an older piece of poetry for me, called The Sea. I originally wrote this in college. It was for a class that I took I believe in 2007. I then edited in 2013 and again in 2016 for both editions of my first poetry book, Growing Poems.
In Feburary 2019 when I wanted to get more serious about promoting my writing and art I recorded the poem as a poetry reading. I never posted that reading here, so in my efforts to make sure everything I do is on this site I am sharing it with you today.
I do hope you enjoy it and let me know what you think.

In times of sorrow hold me near. In times of joy show me you care. In times of worry protect me from my fear. In times of peace help me stay aware. In all times, in every way show me your love, my dear.

Dreams Fighting Reality is a poem I wrote a while ago. I recorded it as a poetry reading back in 2014.
My dreams danced away together from my very own reality. Like ballerinas trapped within my mind They danced away so I could not find the love I wanted; The love I wished was mine. Yes, my dreams slowly danced away when reality told me he was here to stay But he seems to have strayed because here comes my dreams on this new day. My dreams once again dance near by as I force my reality to be mine. Because this fight for what is right, what is fair and what must be has left a hole deep inside of me so I fight to keep my dreams and I fight to change my reality

I'm changing this fight into a dancce. I will not war not against my own life. Instead the trumpets will be the rhythm of my feet. Turn the battle cries into songs of praise. This will be a new day, one with no more fighting not against my own life. I'll allow the ebs and flows to direct my dance, know it's God's will. I will follow. I will go. He leads, I follow, without a fight, just a dance.

Here is an older poem of mine called The Sea Limerick. I do have another poem that is just called, The Sea. They are two completely different poems and I honestly didn’t realize that I named two poems basically the same thing until I was looking for videos to do Throwback posts for.
I went to the sea to see you see.
Yet, I could see nothing but the sea.
So I went to the shore
Just so I would be sure
That I could still see beyond the sea.
The original post is still available to read, along with other poems of mine. If you would like to watch more poetry readings I do also have a YouTube Playlist for that.

Life is a dance, swirling and twirling moving all around. Life is a journey, learning and growing moving all around. Life is a battle, striving and fighting moving all around. Life is always changing as we dane on journey on fighting our battles as we stand our grounds.
