Whispers of Rain and Sprinkles of Faith
Whispers of Rain
All the glitter that highlights the sky
the stars that return to be seen each night
all the silly words and wasted breaths
leave their exchange on a plant's leaves
silent treats the weary ways of cold
frozen in its place holding it as bold
for wonders are the ways that melt its ice
that never will the water on Earth be sufficed
as it goes on and on in its cycles forever
and yet the world runs out of it never
for all the water in life that we intake
we give back when our garden is made
piled with our fresh bodies to feed
that which the Earth takes back its need
and our own cycle and needs are being met
so are the Earth's but it is not time yet
for each wave made in the deep sea of sky
is bringing the ocean and all water high
to be let again downwards from a puff
filled with life and it holds just enough
and pours as milk to a clean clear glass
and whether it pours so slowly or fast
for all that hidden trusts of life explain
the answers and secrets are whispers of rain
Amos 5:8 "It is the LORD who created the stars, the Pleiades and Orion. It is he who turns darkness into morning and day into night. It is he who draws up water from the oceans and pours it down as rain on the land. The LORD is his name!"
Changed
I travelled as a lost soul without defense in silent whispering
When all about me, exists without me, I think of this thing
As shifty as sand, and as unbalanced as my heart, I fear it
Though I cannot feel it tangibly, I know that it is near lit
Days without sun and yet I cannot keep on moving to the trees
The heat is overbearing and relief is left only in a breeze
An arrow that could directly hit me but not give me much pain
For though it has found its way into me, I remain just as vain
I cannot tell you all I remember before the shadows I breathed
And the darkness around me to be my protective enclosure wreathed
I can tell you that when my fingers glided over the Holy Book
A feeling of meaning and purpose had filled the pages overlooked
I felt in too deep to seek a way out of my critical fleeing
Yet I cannot forget that there is forgiveness for my very being
No matter how far I feel, I can always return to His open grace
No matter how lonely I will feel, I can always seek His face
The life without His light is empty and dissatisfying I can tell
Though I have drank of many waters, none fills more than His Well
Hebrews 4:12-13 "For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-�edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account."
How did I get here?
How the sun gleams from my window on a bed unmade
Cold winter morning without warmth in any way pervade
I flip the switch and onward follow the path from it
When I return from my shower I am wakened to my summit
I look around in complete surround of time and place
Without further thought I am caught in a quickened pace
Eating my breakfast and thinking away the morning air
I forget that I am alone and have better be prepared
So I gather my books and all my supplies and then leave
Nothing to greet me when I come back and nothing to grieve
The day progresses and the routine forms itself within me
I have become detached from all possibility to infinity
I am not a person, but a machine, who follows instruction
It's not what I wear or who I am, it's only my production
There is more to the sun and where it comes from to blaze
How can I see the truth when all seems a trend or a phase
And can such a design be mere chance and be only evolution?
Yet there is more than a roll of di to meet my resolution
What of this Creator that they declare in Creationism's view
Can I know creation and my answer and know my Creator too?
Isaiah 45:18 "For the LORD is God, and he created the heavens and earth and put everything in place. He made the world to be lived in, not to be a place of empty chaos. "I am the LORD," he says, "and there is no other...""
Removed Tears
What has disabled me from my doubts has captured my attention
Though I do not guarantee happiness but I choose not pretension
I cannot yet let go of what has shown no limitation in my cheer
As I remain to explain of a moment that has formed without drear
Breathe on me and receive me as your own so I can faithfully live
That every person will see that I imitate more than "just forgive"
Nothing is complicated in finding faith but knowing it is friction
Countless are the ways I betrayed you with my careless addiction
Gathering only the perishable thoughts that could never save me
And what little I have has by true grace been restored for free
And yet nothing could define what the nature of the heart could feel
But even the heart is uncertain and knows no definite in its will
Yet there is something higher and something more powerful and wise
That cannot be sought through looking through this world's eyes
It seems only foolishness but I must continue on to speak conviction
That there is a caring God who exists and not a work of some fiction
No tears in heaven I have heard said and no more pain but perfection
God loved enough to give his Son for our fulfillment and protection
What love that endures and is faithful to forgive and accept eternally
To make one's tears be wiped away in just a decision made so easily
Revelations 21:3-4 "I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, "Look, the home of God is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them. He will remove all of their sorrows, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. For the old world and its evils are gone forever.""
