Change

Just for clarification: Yes, my purpose for this blog has yet to be realized and i am filling it with more poetry than critical writing pieces. However, i think these poems say as much about the world around us as my other writings could and it allows me to "Start with the little things" and keep in mind what's really important in the world and in my life. Loving God and Loving His wonderful , beautiful human creations i get to see every day. :)

Infinite

This Poem was partially inspired by The Perks of Being a Wallflower. It was an incredible movie. One of the most beautiful movies i have ever had the privilege to watch. I recommend it to everyone! The book is currently on its way. Anyway, i hope i can capture just a bit of that beauty here.

If ideas

Dreams

Passions

Could leap from my mind to yours

Seep into your soul

through your pores

If my mind was wide open,

Could you understand?

What I see and who I am?

And if my love poured out

All over your embracing intentions,

Would it mean something?

Would it consume you as it does me?

If all my thoughts were piled sky high

In one big McDonalds ball pit of endless colors,

Piled without the slightest reliance on one another,

Yet impossible alone,

Would you climb to the stars with them,

Would you swim and dance with childlike innocence

Always knowing your mission but never forgetting the decision,

That it takes to step on every little thought,

Every foothold and handhold,

For you to climb

Through my mind

Up to the pinnacle of my internal sky?

To see the world from where I see

Each person with a dream

Their own dream,

Of tall mountains of thought and lakes of innocence

Slowly drying up into dark puddles and damp mist.

Each face with a story and a reason

A purpose for life,

And an unsettling cause for an unbearable amount of strife.

If you felt my anger,

For the pain and unjust in the world

Billowing out of my raging insides

Plummeting in whirling vibes

Past your sovereign emotions

Smashing into walls of separation

And halls of degradation,

Would you cry with me?

If you saw the incredible potential

I see in each and every child,

Felt the presence of true life beating right next to me,

Would you embrace the world with me?

Would you concoct valiant plans,

A list of blatant demands

that say “Stop!” you shall break not one more man.

Not one more woman shall fall to your hand.

Because this world is not the end,

Even though it matters immensely how we spend,

Each and every day,

I KNOW that I’m infinite,

But do they?

If evil runs the world does matter what I say?

Maybe.

Because If ideas

Dreams

Passions

Could leap from my mind to yours

Seep into your soul through your pores

If our minds were wide open,

I think we could understand.

Take a Bow

If I could dedicate my life to people

I would

Why can’t I dedicate my life to people?

I should.

With all I am I love people

With all I am I desire to be

Right next to you,

Whenever you need me.

To console your pain,

To discard your shame,

To help you realize you have everything to gain.

By opening up and letting go,

By surging through emotions and letting them show.

By embracing your fears and doubts

Casting the insecurities out

Together we can jump up on both feet

I understand

I’ll take your hand

Cry hard

Cry long

I’ll sing you a song

Of calm waves and a quiet place

Of serene grace and a change of pace

Where time is all you have yet only the beginning

Where you Maker sits next to you grinning

A somber smile of love never ending

A tear running down his cheek, glistening

Because He’s so proud

Who you are could never be any more deserving

Of a somber smile of love

An embrace that fits you like a glove.

And You know that it’s enough.

In your quiet place with calm waves

Where troubles have no place

And happiness is no chase

It’s right here for you

In the same place

It’s always been.

Back here, we know troubles are ahead

And there’s never quite enough time in bed

Or there’s too much,

but the thoughts never leave your head.

Forget about that, and listen.

You’re beautiful.

When I look at you,

Really see you,

A tear rolls down my face

Life will never be always easy

And you may lose your way

But look at me!

I’m here to stay

No sway

It WILL be okay

You have love

Abundant love.

No matter what.

You are worth so much more than you know

You have a light that needs to show.

So get up and strut,

With me, and all your crazies

--I mean friends.

Nope, this isn’t the end,

This is one piece of the journey of a thread

Being sewn through the quilt that is the masterpiece of your life

Yes, your life is a work of art all its own.

Unique and splendidly shown.

And you’re living that masterful

Wonderful,

Unsurpassable,

Irrefutable,

Spectacle of a life right now.

So get up, and take a bow.

Yes, you—take a bow.

Don’t tell me you don’t know how

It’s like this.

You embrace the incredible worth that is your very existence,

And you lean down,

Giving the world the greatest gift of something new,

The blessing of you.
