Just another WordPress.com site
Every moment of everyday
They come like the sun at dawn
Caught off guard sometimes by the emotions
That swirl among the memories of time
Listening for the lyrics of yesterday
Smiling and remembering those perfect
Thoughts from the past
Who would have known such happiness
Could just fade into the air of never
Where are they? Where did they go?
Will they ever come back?
Maybe they are just a thought away.
‘Stones of emptiness’ that we can’t see, taste, or touch
Drag down our eternal souls that hinder our walk so much
One is called ‘gossip’ and ‘that’ we always want to hear
Another is ‘hate’ with it’s cruelty and it’s twin brother ‘fear’
‘Shame’ is another stone we carry in our bag full of woe
Then there is ‘jealousy’ and ‘envy’ that put on their show
Each has it’s own tormenting voice of ‘bitterness’ and ‘wrath’
‘Rage’ is another burden carried down this well worn path
‘Prejudice’ and ‘bigotry’ get tossed into this mix called life
‘Guilt’ travels along with the stones of ‘blame’ and ‘strife’
Then ‘condemnation’ and ‘regret’ come along for the ride
Cozying up to ‘ignorance’, ‘ungodliness’, and ‘mortal pride’
These are just some of the ’empty stones’ we tote around
Allowing them to grieve our spirits and slow us down
We must cast off these useless ‘stones of emptiness’
And allow God to throw these sins into His ‘sea of forgiveness’
Let go of each and everyone along with their awful pain
And try to never, never, never to pick them up again.
I have written over 100 new poems in the last two years. So I will be putting them on here. Hope you like them.
A few weeks ago I discovered blogging. I had asked God for a place where I could post my poems without feeling like I was irritating anyone much like a flea does on his host. I posted a few on fb and had some comments and a several more likes depending on what the subject matter was about. I truly do appreciate the bloggers on here who have commented, and liked, and followed my blog. I know I have posted a lot but I am like a grandma showing off pictures of her grandbabies when it comes to my babies (poems). I am proud that God has given me this talent and I do not plan on losing it by not using it. On fb my family and friends often ignored or didn’t see the post because of phones or possibly they had unsubscribed since I had been posting quite a lot of Scriptures. People are so caught up in their own lives that there isn’t much time for others. I am the flea that they have to pay attention to even when they don’t want too. So if I am deleted or ignored then they can continue doing what they do and not have to stop and scratch. I have said all of this to say that I still have more poems that have been waiting for their host so if I over did it please forgive me I am just so excited to finally have a home for them. I do hope you will go back and read them all not for the comments or likes but just so I can show off my babies. I am still quite new at this so if you have any advice I would welcome it immensely. I pray everyone has an awesome and blessed day.
