Here are some of the poems I have written. Let me know if they are any good! Wink



No Room

There was no room for Him
In the inn that night.
Every place was full,
There were no rooms in sight.
No room in the inn.
No room in the inn.
Room for everyone else,
But no room for Him.

No room in their hearts,
full of anger and sin.
Turned their backs on their King,
And they crucified Him.
No room for their King
Or the love that He gave.
No room in the world
That He came to save.

No room in our country,
It's starting to seem,
Like they're outlawing God
In this horrible dream.
No room in our country.
No room, what a shame!
In the country that was founded
Upon Jesus' Name.


My Horse

I dreamt last night I had a horse,
He was sleek and wild and black.
He never let anyone ride him,
Until I jumped up on his back.
Together we soared through fields
I felt the wind rush through my hair.
I felt my legs bump against his soft sides
And I felt, I was really there.
I knew for a fact that he was mine,
Forever and always to be.
I laughed and I hollered as we rode away.
I belonged to him, and he to me.
I soon woke up and the dream was gone,
It went, who can tell where?
But in my heart, so warm and close,
The feeling of flying was still there.


Belief

I see a tiny flower,
behold a grain of sand,
watch a gorgeous sunset,
feel warm earth in my hand.
I see a perfect pearl,
the product of pain,
I feel the bitter cold of snow,
and stand in cleansing rain.
I see a mighty mountain
tall against the sky,
touch a blooming rose,
hear a coyote cry.
I hear a song, the whispr'ing wind,
as I stand on fresh turned sod,
How can someone not believe
this all was made by God?


Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

Yesterday, I looked in the mirror
and saw a child.
Youthful eyes,
mischievious smile,
carefree life,
innocent thinking.

Yesterday, I looked in the mirror
and saw a girl.
Shy, secure,
filled with love,
eyes finding the
world a little
different everyday.

Yesterday, I looked in the mirror
and saw a teenager.
A halfway between.
Not a child,
not an adult,
yet so close to the latter.
Heart yearning for--
what?--
she never can tell.
Life is so confusing.

Today, I looked in the mirror
and saw something
I was not prepared for.
I saw a glimmer of
maturity.
Time tested wisdom,
still not yet fully bloomed.
I saw a heart that has felt
things I had before
only dreamed about.

Tomorrow, I will look in the mirror
and see a woman.
Graceful, beautiful,
a fully formed heart.
She smiles at her daughter,
the child,
the girl,
the teenager,
the young lady.
In her eyes a sparkle
that says,
"I have been there too."


Be Still

Wrestling...
Churning...
What if...
But...
God Whispers "Be still!"
Fighting...
Hurting...
Worrying...
Thinking...
God Whipsers "Be Still!"
I breathe...
One moment...
Then again...
Oh, God...
God Whispers "Be Still!"
I try...
I fail...
I reach...
I fall...
God Whispers "Be Still!"
Surrender...
Give up...
But then...
I hold back...
God Whispers "Be Still!"
Lay it down...
Pick it up...
Push it away...
Pull it back...
God Whispers "Be Still!"
I stop...
Again...
Finally...
To listen...
God's Whisper, "BE STILL!"


Orlando Bloom

He's got fame and fortune and T.V. shows,
We hear about him on movies and radios.
He's an idol to every girl who looks his way.
But what I would really like to know,
Is something the books never show,
What's Orlando like when he's off work for a day?

Do you think he's really happy
Doing what he does?
He makes a living pretending he's someone else...
Does he ever wish he was?

Who's the person deep inside,
That no one else can see?
Does he lay awake all night long,
And cry himself to sleep?
What's he like inside his heart
When no one's there to swoon?
Have you ever wondered who he is
When he's not Orlando Bloom?


The Word

Calming,
Soothing,
Wisdom
Whispering.
Touch me,
Hold me,
Break me,
Mold me.
In silence,
Life
Is formed
In words.
Creator,
Word,
Sovereign,
Lord.
Breathing,
Living,
Loving,
Giving.
Cherished
Treasure;
The Word
Of God.


With My Hands Open Wide

Lord God, here I am.
Alone, here I stand.
I'm finding that I
don't know where I am.
I cry to You.
What can I do?
Every moment
I wait for You.
Even though I feel
like I've come to an end,
I know You're standing here,
waiting to begin again.

There's nothing I can do.
So I stand here with
my hands open wide.
I have to trust in You.
And know that You
will never leave my side.
You know the path I'll take,
so for my heart's sake,
I'll stand with my hands open wide.

I really liked your poems. With My Hands Open Wide seems like it should be a song, I can almost hear myself singing that. Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow was great. Very Happy

Thank you Lauren and Julie! Smile I certainly will keep writing!

Here is another one that I wrote in my NaNo novel:


The Voice

Mysterious whisper reaches my heart.
Sweet, solemn voice beckons me hear.
Words simply spoken, a message imparts.
Matchless petition begs me come near.
Where does it come from? Why does it stay
Touching my heartstrings? Willing me know
A secret in a language only I understand.
Magical music that captures my soul.
A beautiful song with words only for me.
Perfected and faithful in patience endure.
The Voice sings his song to my breathless heart.
Holy and virtuous, waiting and pure.
All senses of vision fail me to glimpse
A tangible body or place to belong.
No evident picture to please my wish.
Just a whisper, a voice, a music, a song.
Deep stirs a longing, where once there was none.
Beautiful horizon my heart arises to perceive.
Awakens my imagining to conjure up a dream.
Strengthens and shelters my will to believe.
The Voice calls my heart to search for his own.
Asking me, willing me, begging me find
The place where our voices will join in one song;
Where I am my beloved’s and he is mine.
