Conscious
No longer lending my thoughts
To anything that doesn't serve the greater good- in me
All others can flee
Ya better believe
I choose not to grieve
My heart
Spirit
No longer incoherent
Allowing interference
With my growth
That's an oath
I take today
I pray
Stand
Walk
In the light
Pursuing the Spirit
Doing what's right
No longer entertaining the night
In thought or deed
I take heed
To my thought pattern
Chatter
In my head
Won't be lead
By the wrong spirit
That leads to the land of the...

Apathy
Shut up, I refuse to give another piece of my soul away.
You can't have it!
No- not today
Go away.
You can't have it!
No- not today
Go away.

Undeserved- freely given
Out of season fruit
Peace in the midst of chaos
Joy in tears
Forgiveness in shame
Release of fear
while bogged down to the ground
Nothing is sweeter
then out of season fruit
The presence of the Lord
in a moment of unbelief
Undeniable
Change in identity
Suddenly keenly aware of
Angels & demons
Wisdom given to ascertain the difference
Out of season fruit
Bittersweet but absolutely
the best kind
New wine
Peace in the midst of chaos
Joy in tears
Forgiveness in shame
Release of fear
while bogged down to the ground
Nothing is sweeter
then out of season fruit
The presence of the Lord
in a moment of unbelief
Undeniable
Change in identity
Suddenly keenly aware of
Angels & demons
Wisdom given to ascertain the difference
Out of season fruit
Bittersweet but absolutely

The fall
We all stumble
fumble
mumble
Lose, win
Try again
Stand up, sit down
Gain & lose ground
Hope
Hate
Anticipate
Love
Then shove
it away
Fall
stall
Forget
Then, remember
Hold on
Let go
Vain
Only for show
Humbled
crumble
struggle
juggle
Believe
cleave
Dam you Eve
Deceived
fumble
mumble
Lose, win
Try again
Stand up, sit down
Gain & lose ground
Hope
Hate
Anticipate
Love

it away
Fall

Hold on
Let go

Development
A seed must
come completely
undone
for the
process
to even begin
Then
after
whats inside
comes out
a flower
begins
to sprout
Then
to continue
to grow
showers
and storms
will have to flow
and
through
the dirt
with the help of the
Son
This beautiful
process can be done
Does a flower not require rain
Grow through dirt
And desperately need the Son?

Awareness
Protected, But hard-headed
Stubborn by nature
Loving by it too
Heart always yearning for truth
Nothing less will do
Constantly seeing through
Wishing sometimes I couldn't
Because heavy are the discerning hearts
Gifted to be torn apart
Stubborn by nature
Loving by it too
Heart always yearning for truth
Nothing less will do
Constantly seeing through
Wishing sometimes I couldn't
Because heavy are the discerning hearts
Gifted to be torn apart

Power
The one in me- is greater,
So keep it coming- hater.
I see through your→ "wanna be hard"
Truth is you're
Scared of the power; living inside me
Step back-
You-put fear in me
Ha.. *#★↑* please
I lived through the valley of the shadow of death
Still standing
A sanctified sinner
Been there done that
No where near - naive
UMMM... not by any means
Faithful doesn't = weak
Quite the contrary
A challenge~ makes me stronger
Fore I KNOW my Father
He has my back
Might wanna...
So keep it coming- hater.

Through my eyes or heart
A heart deeper,than the color blue
With the depth of the ocean times two
Shattered into pieces
A time or two
Mended by tears
or maybe just hope
Grace
because when you break
Fall flat on your face
You learn
Who you want to be
Or who you don't
The strength in me
amazes me
I should be angry
but I am wiser
Instead
I should be hateful
bitter
But that ain't my style
I am going to keep
Tryin'
to smile till I remember how
Beauty from ashes
With the depth of the ocean times two
Shattered into pieces
A time or two
Mended by tears
or maybe just hope
Grace
because when you break
Fall flat on your face
You learn
Who you want to be
Or who you don't
The strength in me
amazes me
I should be angry
but I am wiser
Instead
I should be hateful
bitter
But that ain't my style
I am going to keep
Tryin'
to smile till I remember how

Simple Wisdom Whispered To The Heart
Tongue tied profound simple wisdom,
Not overtaking illusions of complexity
Plain perceptive insights
Intuitive, heartfelt
Guided by light
Wandering, finding sight
With my heart as my teacher
Only half listening to my mind
I continue my journey through time
Sharing deep-seated seeds
To grow with hope
So simple... unembellished truth
An earnest student of life- I am
A teacher of simple wisdom
that comes from above- I am
Listening to the Great I am
Has made me who- I am
For no wisdom lies in me
If any be found, it is His...
Not overtaking illusions of complexity

Heartless, with a heart of gold...
Oh the weary, downtrodden... Soul
I see the light hidden in your heart
The one the enemy has always fought,
to put out...
But the embers are bright
If ever you see, the real you,
The one I see, when I look at you
The strength, the might, it takes to fight
To fight the demons within...
Oppressive spirits, that you've battled
Every step of the way...
But, your still walking...
Your embers glowing,
Bruised but not broken
Keep walking!
I see the light hidden in your heart

Oppressive spirits, that you've battled

But, your still walking...

Bruised but not broken

A peculiar people
The wretched years of a wretch, like me, like you
Produce the most amazing grace
Who would you be, had it not been, for your misery?
Would you be half the woman you are, without your scars?
Would your light shine, had you not walked in darkness?
Would you understand grace, without your mistakes?
Produce the most amazing grace
