Inspired by Rain

drip, drip, drip, drip, drip

the sounds i hear outside 

as God's liquid sunshine falls from above

Bringing life to those in need 

And every drop serving as a sign of hope

Showers of blessing released from the sky 

Glistening as rays of moonlight meet 

the gathered droplets on blades of grass 

Lying down, thinking, listening, relaxing 

As sunshine creates a rhythm of it's own 

To some it serves as a symbol of sadness

To others, a symbol of newness

To many, a symbol of life

To me, the commoner all of the above

And the reason to sleep well tonight

The Mind That I Hide

Inside my head, is a peculiar mind

A mind one can't fathom 

Or even begin to understand

In some situations, it's very helpful

In others, it was a detriment 

And the thoughts that used to pass through

I cannot even begin to comment

In my mind, I see people and things

Far more than I really should

In my mind some people annoy me 

But the thought never left that neighbourhood

In my mind I've had thoughts of death 

And inflicting pain

But if i did that, I wouldn't have anything to gain

My mind acts as a filter, and weeds out the few

who it thinks are genuwine, just one and two

And it also plays out scenarios

That i'd want  to happen based on intense emotions

My mind, the killer is what some call it

But that's not what it is

It just overworks, overthinks, and over-imagines

It used to hurt, now it tends to heal

It used to connive others, but now it's real 

It used to kill others, now it tries to save. 

It used to bury others in body bags

In shallow graves

But now it's transformed, clean, and renewed

It's because of Christ why it never killed you

The Ghosts Of My Past

From the actions of my past living

I've created many grotesque beings

Ghosts that seem to haunt and linger

In my valley of silent screams

There are times when my overactive mind 

Plunges itself to a hollow space 

And that's the time these ghosts attack me

Leaving my mind in it's desolate place

In years gone by people would normally say

There's the girl that took my stuff

Left me in pain and scars

Then walked away

Another few at one point could relay

compulsive liar! believe nothing she says

The ghosts attack again 

Twisting my mind through a complex maze

But, those times are gone

And a new being being formed

The ghosts that drilled and voided my mind

Left after it got transformed 

You too can kill those ghosts 

That linger in from your past living

Just transform the pattern of your thoughts

And start living in the light

A Preview Of My Life

Here I am, bound with my life's burdens

My mind troubled, my heart heavy-laiden

Unsure of my next move

Arms of safety I've sought to find

But ended up on the devil's footstool

Depths I've searched, and vast widths I've explored

And went on many missions

In search of myself

And found my sanity perched precariously

On the rugged edge of a cliff

Wisdom never found me, yet I craved the words of the wise

Years of hurt and foolish mistakes helped bring me to my demise

And Demise led to arrogance

And arrogance introuced me to pain

Wondering about the days when my sanity i will regain

But my sanity went in, and my enemies went out

Leaving me, standing, wondering,

Filled with infinite doubts

Excavating the earthshaken debris i call my life

To find at least one thing worth living for

Mommy, attacked by the wrath of the carcinogenic bug

Leaving me to think I'd be desolate within myself

With nobody left to snug

Shattering my heart beyond infinity

And creating a dark, lonely space 

With a want to be filled 

To fill the darkness, drew closer to friends

"Friends till the end, not following the trend"

They would always say to keep my mind straying

Then like a bullet to a bird's fragile frame

They'd shatter the fragile heart each day

I then searched for another love

Then lazily gave up my search

Males were not the answer to filling my void

Void ended up capturing my heart

And boy filling the void partially

And for 26 1/2 months, half my darkness was put away

Little by little, the dark void gained light

And little by little, wisdom revealed itself then i learned

"Fool me once, shame on you

Fool me twice, shame on me"

But to be fooled a quad times is stupidity at its best

My true fiends now weeded out, and my true friends recognised

The little light that made way it my void dimly shines

And the darkness slowly fading

With wisdom now on my side

And the Creator now my right hand

Life's burdens minutely fade, and a new being minutely formed

What Would Jesus Do?

As I live my life throughout today

Trying to make peace with you

Keep one thought throughout my mind

And ask "What would Jesus do?"

when people speak evil against my being 

And speak words that aren't true

Keep the motto on my mind

"What would Jesus do?"

When an enemy of mine asks for help

Or even just a minute or two

Instead of thinking of the pain they've caused 

Let me think "What would Jesus do?"

when I'm down in the dumps and feeling pain

And my hearts changes colour to blue

give me wisdom and help me remember

"What would Jesus do?"

When faced with daily decisions

help me be honest, fair and true

Let this be my thought to live by

"What would Jesus do?"

Let me promise that with each new day

I'll try to live like You

And that tomorrow i'll be guided by the motto

"What would Jesus do?"

Why Judge?

Who is a man to judge another

Just by the way he looks outside ?

I'm sure many stories are never judged

By the cover under which they reside

Who is a man to judge another

Just by the way he dresses?

If you don't like it, that's your problem 

Don't go publicly addressing it

Who is a man to judge another

Just by imagining what he does?

They never stop to find the truth 

Or find out why he goes

Who is a man to judge another

Just by his mistakes?

Everyone has a past they're not proud of

Just think of yours for heaven's sake!

Who is a man to judge another 

By past events so great?

You can't exprect to break a brother 

and enter through heaven's gates

"Judge not, and ye be not judged"

that's the quote of the day

a man should never have to be defined 

by what others have to say 

Bubbles

Have you ever watched as bubbles grew?

Did you see them float away as the charismatic wind blew?

Did they seem ubiquitous until the person stopped blowing them?

With their rainbow edge visible against cerulean skies?

The broken being lifted away

And freedom is underlaid to someone with imagination.
