Distractions
The things of life
divert our sight
of what we need, that saving light
Our sights are set
Our minds made up
We've given up that bread and cup
Yet I, I try
I try and see
This truth that keeps evading me
Earthly things
So full of pleasure
But reality will destroy our leisure
I wish for more
Yet mourn it too
Is it this I want, or is it You?
These distractions of life
That which I love and hate
These distractions of life
Will they decide my fate?
These distractions of life
Will I give Him priority?
These distractions of life
Or will they simply destroy me?

Do Not Fear
You who live in doubt,
feeling far away from God -
do not fear,
for God has come near.
You who are insignificant,
feeling ignored and overlooked -
do not fear,
for God was born a child.
You who are poor,
calling out for justice to reign -
do not fear,
for God Himself became poor.
You who are suffering,
feeling forsaken by all -
do not fear,
for God wants to bear your pain.
You who are lonely,
crying out for love and care -
do not fear,
for God Himself will dwell with you.
Oh you who are wandering
in the valley of the shadow of death -
do not fear,
for God has become Man,
has carried our sorrows
and brings us His grace

Where No One Will See
Where No One Will See
Bringing water
up in stained palms
cupped just above the rocks
where it almost fell
the water, nothing more
nearly lost to weeds there
but to my mouth instead
made open to taste more
than heat off stones
the stones, nothing more
I nearly forget to drink
my shirt torn and me left
kneeling like a stone breaker
as if I only had a moment.
Literature
You are
You are the BEGINNING to my STORY,
You are the LIVE to my LOVE,
You are the BEAT to my HEART,
You are the RHYTHM to my SONG,
You are the AMAZING to my GRACE,
You are the REASON for my LIFE,
You are the STRENGTH when I can't STAND,
You are the BIG in my BANG,
You are the SPARK to my FIRE,
You are the INSPIRATION to my ART,
You are the VOICE to my WORDS,
You are the INDESCRIBABLE to your LOVE,
You are the ROYAL to my BLUE,
and You are the GRAND to my FINALE.

Gah, I have a hard time organizing poetry into the right sections sometimes D|
Anyway, this is a much more personal poem in some way.
It's just something I struggle with I feel.
And if you didn't know (which judging by how many times I've said it in journals particularly, it would be surprising if you didn't), I am indeed a Christian. So I hope that all my family in Christ can read this and understand it well. It's a real struggle sometimes though...
