Poems – Page 7 – Renewed Dream

RETURN

Let me return,I fear your face turned stern.I have stumbled over the stumbling block.Will you let me stand upon thy rock?Do you still restore the wayward?Will my plea be heard by the Lord?I think He does hear.He draws me near.Breaking that I may heal,Humility has made me kneel.Bind up my wounds.I will see you soon.WhenContinue reading “RETURN”

Peace Redefined

What is peace?It is knowing God to be good,When the wind blows from the east.It is hope while living in the hood.Peace is reconciliation.Whether joy or pain.You are secure with the situation.Releasing yourself from the chain.It is knowing both broken and healing,Are one and the same.Knowing tomorrows dealing,Will not put you to shame.Peace is aContinue reading “Peace Redefined”

I have a purpose

I have a purpose,He has a plan.There is more on the surface,Then just a man.Created in His image.A precious diamond refined.An honor to bear this privilege.To be a part of His design. R.d. Jess

dandelions in the wind

What absolute joy is this?To see the dandelions bliss.Where wonder runs as wild as the flowers.I could stay there for hours.Green meadows grow taller.After dark storms water.For God caused it to grow,After pain swallowed me long ago.Now I stand in fields of dandelions.After God rescued me from the lions.I blow dandelions in the wind.Joy isContinue reading “dandelions in the wind”

Good advice

Not all advice is good advice.Even if they were trying to be nice.Somethings should be considered.Sometimes it’s the way it’s delivered.Not all advice is wise.But I simply realized,Advice should not be taken without question.There’s a lesson in digestion.Do you want your life to reflect there’s?Do you want your life to have their affairs?It’s not unwiseContinue reading “Good advice”

IS THAT ME?

When I look in the mirror I see.I can’t believe that’s me.When did my eyes shimmer?A glance gives me a shiver.When did my body stop looking disgusting?In the mirror I see everything.Because I see myself how God created me.I can’t help thinking, “is that me?!”He formed me before I was born.His love has the vailContinue reading “IS THAT ME?”

RECONCILLED PAIN

We need the highs and lows.We need delight and sorrows.For joy makes life worth living.While pain reminds me, I’m still living.I’ve learned to say “this is good.”Even if things don’t go as they should.I need this,We all need it.To keep depression at bay.To find joy in a little bit of pain.To enjoy God’s gifts.Even if,Continue reading “RECONCILLED PAIN”

NEXT SUNRISE

I look forward to the next sunrise.The next moment I feel good inside.When the sky declares great beauty.The next moment of security.When shadows are cast away,And sunlight shares its warm embrace.Resolved closer walks on.Step by step until all is done.I look forward to the next sunrise.When hope glimmers in my eyes. by – R.d. jess

BURNING

I’m Burning,My skin is on fire.My body is yearning,To finally retire.Burned red agony,And things that can’t be undone.Lay to rest at calvary.Though I want to run,And my skin burns.He is with me.My heart churns,While I read psalm 23.I met shadows death.My body starved of rest.You gave me the final breath.Fire is the test.His hand IContinue reading “BURNING”

MOUNT SACRIFICE

Up thy mount I go to sacrifice man.In its place I find a ram.Did mercy climb thy mount with me?To watch me surrender everything.My blade raised high to finish the deed.When mercy’s ram called me free.Breath of relief filled my lungs.There my heavy heart hung.On thy mount of sacrifice.Where my faith was multiplied,And God’s goodnessContinue reading “MOUNT SACRIFICE”
