The Candle

Life is short.

One never knows when the time is burnt.

The flames that were once aglow,

now ends, wax melting low.

The fire lit for the duration of life,

ablaze creating memories daily with love,

withers away when flames are blown.

Like a wind, 

blowing the flames instantly without being warned.

Another flame of the candles vanishes into thin air.

At times, creating a sudden shock within familiar faces.

Creating a somber mood,

filled with indescribable thoughts of such untimely occurrence.

That death is never predictable,

rather it can be untimely or within it's own reasonable time frame.

Idealism

Many say friends come and go.

I think, we all grow apart and let go.

Every individual wants to feel loved.

I think, everyone is loved by God.

Others feel alone, searching for the one.

I think, God is still molding the one in heaven.

Some fall apart, when humps of life spring up along the way.

I think, others find the strength to jump it along the way.

Most rise up from falling on their knees.

I think most rise up because of faith from the heavens,

Glorifying His name during the toughest obstacle encounters in life.

Invisible

There are most days that I long to be

Invisible to the unaided eye,

The world wherein I succumb to the still silence

Pondering so many unanswered questions within my heart

Feeling misunderstood at the thoughts

I take out of my mouth to be heard,

But only mistaken for drama.

I sought to get back up again.

To make it be known

that those words were authentic

From deep within my heart.

Words, that I've held on for so long,

that it has aged like an antique furniture.

Afraid to gather dust,

I speak the words with my mouth

Wanting it to be heard.

To resound from the depths of my soul.

To reach those who have been etched in my mind.

To hear such truth put forth

during the times I lay awake in bed.

Feeling invisible to the world,

with the things I've held on to in my silence for years

that only seem to break me apart

inch by inch

little by little

internally in my invisible ways.

Through My Brown Eyes

If you could see through my brown eyes,
You'd be surprise to know the things
experienced in the last two months.
The tears I have shed,
leaving my eyes red and swollen,
like allergy attacks unmedicated.

You would see the pain,
The pain that pierced through my heart
Leaving it wounded and unaided
Not even a naked eye could see.

Why?
For the pain is hidden,
Buried deep onto the ground
Like golden treasure.
The pain I hide with a smile,
I dare not open for the world to know.

For all I know,
everything I have seen these last two months,
is not just a series of turmoils,
rather life changing in many ways
strengthening my weary soul
during the darkest times of my life.

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.
