The Lake

The sun is raised

ablaze upon the heavenly skies
shining its rays
reflecting on water
where a sense of peace is found within the heart.
Peace within chaos surrounding my weary soul.
where hope is waiting to spring up,
like flowers blooming in spring time.
The scenic view of the lake
A heart that longs to find peace,

Wounded from fighting many battles on its own.

And longing to stand up from the ground

with its glistening water

providing a serene feeling in the heart,

enabling peace to surround it,

by gazing out the vast area of the never ending lake.

Forgiveness

Forgiveness.
What is Forgiveness?
An individual needing to be renounced for their fault.
A fault that has made the other party disappointed,
with an angry heart filled with so much hatred.

A heart that bleeds, as if wounded by a round of bullets.
A heart that aches when unleashing a wrath of words,
not meant to be said, but rather to be kept in silence.
A heart that yearns for a change of hope and hearts to change.
A heart that wants to forgive in silence even in the darkest times.
A heart that opens to the Lord about the struggles in forgiving,
is the heart that longs to be free and at peace in the days to come.

Blessing

A blessing came into the world today

Filling the room with joy

And "awees" in the background.

The blessing was like a burrito,

only swaddled in blankets.

To be cuddled by anxious parents

against their chests

pressing into their heart

enabling the blessing to feel its love.

The love that will bond like glue,

Signifying together forever

For the many memories to be made in stone

In the years to come.

What is Love?

What is Love?

Is it when spring comes around

and flowers bloom in the fields?

Is it created when sparks of fireworks

are seen in the air, as if a feeling of excitement in one's heart?

Is it when two individuals meet eye to eye, only to discover qualities that enable them to be united as one?

Is it when one feels the other's flesh in a steamy bar filled with smoke, as the music echoes while they danced like there is no tomorrow?

Is it simply its own nature unraveling on its own time, like planting seeds on the ground?

Now that's love, for it grows like seeds planted onto the ground.

The Remedy

What is it about a pile of emotions?

Like layers of cake outside the bakery,

all decorated and colorful.

Or is it?

Simply a pile of unwanted junk

needing its own remedy,

A taste of liquor and coke.

A remedy, that only provides

a few hours of unwanted baggage

filled with blackouts

for a brief period of time.

The remedy in full swing takes up my whole body,

entering a new realm.

A realm I've entered two years ago.

Never did I look back to it.

Till the day when my pile of emotions

struck me again in full swing,

like a lightning strike on a stormy day.
