Seasons or Life Part 1: Spring Comes

Postby Jaltus-bot » Thu Oct 21, 2004 3:51 pm

The storms of life may blow your way
And seasons change a bit too soon
Hopes like leaves may seem to fall
All you see are cold bleak days

Through the darkness of it all
The struggles and the trials
I pray that God will guide you through
That you will hold fast to what is true

The winters of our lives
May seem so cold and bleak
The pain and chill it brings
May seem so very real

Life doesn’t end in winter
For as the years go by
The weather changes still
And each time we grow more

The sun returns
And spring begins
Weather warms
New leaves grow

We also grow
With the seasons
Each spring we see
What God grew inside

If your summer seemed too short
And winter is hard to bear
Cling to God and He will keep you
Spring will come and be beautiful
When I feel blue, I start breathing again.

Seasons of Life Part 2: No One is an Evergreen

Postby Jaltus-bot » Thu Oct 21, 2004 3:53 pm

No one is an evergreen
Green from season to season
No one has to stay bare
Stark in the winters gloom

When summer’s at its close
Leaves glory in their end
A vast array of colors
Before the wind blows trees bare

Trees that hold to life
Deeply inside them
Shall live to see the winters end
And in spring they’ll sprout again

The changes of season
Is ever a promise
Summers and winters come and go
And we face them all yet again

In these cycles of growth
The stories of our lives
Are lived and written
Time tells tomorrows end

Seasons can help us grow
Or make us want to hide
When we lose our leaves
Have we lost our lives?

There is nothing here but us
That ever really changes
Though circumstances will still change
Life goes on whether we do to

We can choose to grow
Or try to stay the same
When the winter comes
Spring will be here soon
When I feel blue, I start breathing again.

Asdvadz hedut ullah! (W. Armenian, "May God bless you!")

Postby Jaltus-bot » Sat Oct 23, 2004 11:57 pm

Quite unexpectedly
You came into my life
And you left there
Something deeper

You cared for me openly
And it left me liking you more
All the times we shared
Your words of kindness

You showed me how
To feel the way I did
And I guess you taught me
How to be more human

You did not lie
Why couldn’t I?
You knew my deepest secret
And seemed to tell me yours

You knew my flaws
And liked me still
The things I hated about myself
Could not make you love me any less

You played the music of my soul
Now the silence I dislike more
It was too hard to escape
You stirred something inside me
When I feel blue, I start breathing again.

Two Apart

Postby Jaltus-bot » Sun Oct 24, 2004 12:10 am

Ever waiting
Endlessly torn
The two went on
Two halves of one
A mournful love
The two went on
Once together
Now it was broke
No more future
They were broken
The two were two
Waiting to see
They together
Became as one
Where they should be
Love abounded
So silently
When I feel blue, I start breathing again.

Ever amazed by your productiveness, I'd like to say that "Two Apart" is very intriguing. It made me ponder the relationship of these two...

I agree with esoteric. Two apart is an intresting poem. I like it. :)
Absence is to love as wind is to a flame. It extinguishes the little, it ignites the great.

Life is a test. It is only a test. Had this been real life you would have have been instructed where to go and what to do.

When i argue with reality I lose.....But only 100% of the time.

Wandering Towards light in the Dark

Postby Jaltus-bot » Thu Oct 28, 2004 9:11 pm

Please help me Lord
To follow Your ways
And guide me through
This life’s torrid maze

Echoes of the day
Churn within my mind
But in You alone
My soul finds solace

The only steady rock
Within my life
To Your rest and real peace
You guide me
When I feel blue, I start breathing again.

The Ideal Life

Postby Jaltus-bot » Sun Oct 31, 2004 9:15 am

The greatest ideal
Of what our lives should be
We try to find our own wise thoughts
Religion and philosophy
Always living on parts
Till we accept the whole

It is not the things we see
But the things that must be seen
This world’s incomplete
Nothing here can fill itself
But a step of faith
Reveals much more

In faith we can see the whole
God alone can fill our lives
Things we never knew
He makes clear to us
The answers in His word
Leave the world’s lacking

He gives our lives a purpose
And teaches us of His love
A destination
And a path to walk
When we live for Him
He gives us meaning
When I feel blue, I start breathing again.

You write too quickly. I can't catch up. T__T

Anyways, really great stuff. I think you are a top-notch inspirational poet. ^___^

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE


You see into the deepest part of me ---

beyond the fog I hide behind.

You cast your light upon the shadows

that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.

You ease the pain when I am hurting,

and morbid visions from my past

pierce into the realm of Reason

as though I danced on blades of glass.

You grant me strength when I have fallen

and, once again, I've lost my way.

You take my hand in Yours and lead me

into the promise of a brand new day.

You bring order to all my chaos,

yet set my well-laid plans awry.

You place me on a firm foundation ---

then give me wings so I can fly.

You sand away my roughened edges

and polish all the dullest parts

until I stand before Your presence...

a newly-sculpted work of art.

You see into the heart within me,

right through my motives and selfish will.

And yet, in spite of all You see

You say You love me even still.

Don’t wanna love you
I just wanna feel
Don’t want to hurt,
Just want to heal

The last thing I want is to fall right now
I’m not that strong to walk yet on my own
I don’t have room
I don’t have time

Now stay away
Leave me alone
It’s not your problem
I know that you care

I don’t want you here
Just go away
Don’t want to love you
Just wanna feel

I need to put my strength
Where it is gonna work
No you can never change that now
You’ve already played your part

Your role is done
It’s time to leave
My heart isn’t that strong
And you’re not what I need

Just go away from me
I’m not gonna pretend
Don’t want to love you
I just want to feel
When I feel blue, I start breathing again.

Neither Easy Nor Alone

Postby Jaltus-bot » Tue Nov 09, 2004 3:46 pm

Life has trials we must work through
Even though we have someone to turn to
But because of His love
God will help us through them
He did not say it would be easy
Only that we would not go alone

This life is still far from perfect
We know the Lord we can pray to
For all that we go through
We’re still better off
He did not say it would be easy
But we knew we would not go alone
When I feel blue, I start breathing again.

Not That Strong

Postby Jaltus-bot » Tue Nov 09, 2004 11:22 pm

I’m sorry I can’t
Share that much with you
This isn’t the place
And I’m not there yet

I’m not that strong
I’m not that good
What I need right now
Is God to help me

The last thing I want
Is to hurt us more
It’s just so easy
It has me scared

I’m not that strong
I’m not that good
God please keep me here
And don’t let me fall
When I feel blue, I start breathing again.

Oh and the ;ast word of the untitled one is "fallg" Lol! Maybe you should correct that typo. Just trying to help :)

Sleep in Peace

Postby Jaltus-bot » Sat Nov 13, 2004 5:08 pm

Now the day is done
And you are safe here
Nestled in your bed
secure in God's care

Let bad things fade from your mind
As God works them all for good
May God's security
Blanket your heart in peace

And in peace you'll sleep
Till the night is done
Knowing the hand of God
Is watching over you
When I feel blue, I start breathing again.

When the night falls,
I am alone
Bathed in night’s shadow
Silence fills the earth

I feel your presence
It’s all around me
Like a warm breeze
It surrounds me

Every subtle sound
Reminds me You’re here
I’m never really alone
I hear whispers of your love
When I feel blue, I start breathing again.

Lost Words

Postby Jaltus-bot » Thu Nov 25, 2004 3:51 pm

Oh my words
I’ve lost them
I know not where
They are not there

I’ve searched
High and low for nouns
For my verbs
My gerunds and pronouns

I do not want to
compromise
My participles
any more

I won’t even for
Lovely plural displays
Not till words have tense
Like playing will play plays

Because a blank page
Speaks so little
Silence fills with noise
But no meaning
When I feel blue, I start breathing again.

<chuckles> I like the playful sarcasm... at least that's how it read to me. Although, I suppose a dedicated poet might lament the loss of his/her participles, dangling or otherwise. <bg>

As for me, I must have lost my gerunds a long time ago, because I have no idea what one is!! :lol:

I'm Sorry

Postby Jaltus-bot » Fri Nov 26, 2004 9:48 pm

I am sorry
My dear child
You had to learn
What pain was

I could not keep it
Hidden forever
I know it’s hard
For you to see

God is still with you
He’s with all who hurt
To comfort
All sorrow

I am sorry
My dear child
There is evil
Still around

Others also care
It’s not only you
They try to help
Show needed love

People make choices
Choices have two sides
Some choose good
Some just don’t

I am sorry
My dear child
God gives you strength
To fight it

Soon all sorrow ceases
and God wipes all tears
and sorrow
is no more

So live your life with love
It makes a difference
His word show how
To mend the hurt
When I feel blue, I start breathing again.

Grace on her Chair

Postby Jaltus-bot » Fri Dec 10, 2004 1:46 pm

Weak
But not
Ever quite
Is she alone
Now
Sitting
On the chair
She calls her throne
Heart
Inside
Tempest hurt
Now full from good
Here
Her own
Princess heart
Filled with peace
When I feel blue, I start breathing again.
