Open my heart to hear;
unlock my mind to see.
Teach me how to walk
into your arms of grace.
Show me how to listen,
to your voice of truth.
Give me a lesson to learn
and a dream to follow.
Let me follow you
and always be my Lord.
Clear
My heart starts wandering.
My head is never clear.
I turn to find myself,
then turn to find a ring.
I think I have lost you,
yet you whisper ‘I am always near.’
My soul yearns to be with you.
My heart is never clear.
I wish to face your beauty
and know what to do.
Still I know you are never far;
yes you are always near.
Winter fears on a summer day
I worry about winter
When summer is near,
When spring only now
Is fading into a sweet memory.
Yes, I fear the cold frigid storms
When the Sun shines bright
Warming the already hot air.
I worry and fear
But I convice myself not tonight.
For the night must be for dreams,
dream that could turn into reality.
Oh, how I want to force
my reality into my dreams,
Push my hopes into a cage
Or wish my life far far away.
Yet, there must be a different way
A new path, a strange way.
A road away from the fears
Of freezing on the road
Of needing to stop because of the cold.
How can I force summer to stay?
Is there a way
To stop seasons from changing
to stop life from living?
No, I suppose there is no way
Of stopping the world from turning and life from living,
But reality does not need to stay
And the life lived can be what dreams make.
Being led.
Calm the calamity in my mind,
Because I know you’re here.
And, I know I’m right.
This path may look
the wrong way,
seem to go no way,
a dead-end
or have a brick wall in the way.
Yet, this path is
the one I’m on,
the one you lead me down,
the right road for me,
so I will walk this path
that some think leads no where.
Because I know
I will get where I going
and know that I’m being led.
Never repeat
I thought I posted In the End yesterday, so today you have poems of mine to read. I hope you enjoy them and please remember feedback is welcomed.
Never Repeat
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 the End
In the End
In the end
I may feel silly,
everything may be lost,
my heart may break.
In the end
it may not be worth it,
I may have to be a terrible cost,
my soul may bend.
In the end
I may wish
I never had this dream in mind.
I may want someone else to be mine.
In the end
this dream may die,
my world may change,
my heart may run away.
But in the end
my soul will not break,
my heart will mend,
and life will go on,
so I will try,
and I will struggle.
I will fight for this dream.
whether I win or lose
I will try so that
in the end
I can say
this was the best way,
this was my way,
my dream to live my life,
my life to work for my dreams.
In the end
my soul will not break,
my heart will mend,
and life will go on.
(Just a fast poem in the morning. Please let me know what you think)
You (unedited)
Calm my mind,
like a gentle breeze.
Please, wash away my insecurities
in a loving river.
Teach my how to sing the songs
that the care free birds sing.
Do not want to worry about tomorrow?
I will try to let tomorrow worry about itself.
Breathe your calming spirit in
and I will breathe my anxiety out.
Today I will remember your gentle breeze,
your loving river,
and live.
Please, feel free to give feedback or comments below.
marching
(please note that this is a quick, not edited poem)
March, March
Marching to the beat of life
Droning on and on
Work, work and work
to keep your head a float.
When all of a sudden you realize
there was a misstep;
a stumble somewhere down the road
that sent a ripple
to your very soul.
Breath in the ripple,
the change in pace.
Relax into the realization,
your life is about to change.
Now march again to a different pace.
March now to the song in your own head.
And watch as the days do not drone on.
Listen to work being done as you continue to hum.
This life is yours to live so live.
Dreamer of plans.
Dreamer of plans.
I wish to be like a fish swimming in the sea.
I wish to be a caged bird set free.
I wish and I wish,
while I dream and think.
I want to be in a different life.
I want to be some one’s wife.
I want and want
while I dream and think.
I need to know what I am doing,
where my life is going.
I need to be on one path,
and figure out the direction I’m walking.
I need and need
while I dream and think.
Oh, so many thoughts and dreams
cascades down my mind.
Filling my brain with impossible plans.
Fearless, strong, and wonderful plans.
Plans that when started fall short
as the other plans start to be thought.
Plans where success and happiness
wrap around me like warm hugs;
plans seem possible,
until other thoughts take their place.
This is why I wish and want
and think I need,
while I dream and think.
This is why I dream and think.
