Just Waiting For Time

My flesh shivering

my body so weak…

could hardly lift a finger…

could hardly take air to breathe…

So tired with sadness…

torn worn by pain…

In my life

I stopped searching for meaning…

I have lived to my fullest…

I have given my best…

I have loved to the truest…

Now…

Just waiting for time

to take my breath and be one with the gale…

So shall my sadness and pain be gone 

then shall my meaning be mine…

Amazing Grace

 Amazing Grace

Are words beyond words 

could tell 

It is glorious and divine

Nothing can  ever compare

Amazing Grace

It is

when a heart starts to beat

when we inhale air, and breathe

Amazing Grace 

It is

when we learn to love

when we learn to forgive

when we learn to give

when we learn to live

Amazing Grace it is

when we learn to understand life

and believe 

The wonder of 

God's Amazing Grace

Poetry for Peace

My Space In Time

 My Space In Time

Helpless 

pinned in a corner 

Could only hear my sobbing 

Could only feel my tears falling...

and my heart could only 

comfort my being 

to just breathe 

and be still...

In the  space in time

where I am

I could only stare 

at the memories

one by one 

in my mind are always 

passing …

Could only grin a smile 

and sigh

realizing 

where I am

in my space in time...

From my darkest 

I could only stare at the light 

In all its liberty

illuminating rays 

lighting, warming 

the cold and dark...

I needed not to raise my voice 

and call upon...

For I know

In the darkest 

The rays of light 

will always come 

to shine ...

If Only

If I could only touch the skies 

I would paint the colors of my rainbow

with all the hues of hope...

If I could only pluck 

the moon and the stars 

to light up my darkest nights

with all my might I would...

If I could only tell time 

to stay...

If only God 

will change my reality...

I Dared...

I took a glance at hope...

My heart leaped in gratitude

to see some hues of greens...

Oh how comforting moment 

to see a glimpse

though deep within 

I wonder if it is within my reach...

I paused to hold my breath

braced my heart

again I dared to look at hope 

finding out

once again 

my heart ripped off

as before my eyes

hope faded away once more...

Though God

In our every today's 

the one we love

may not be with us...

They may not be there

in our every tomorrows...

But deep here in our hearts

they are always with us...

Though God did not will

that we belong in their life

that they belong in our life...

Have faith in His will 

for the reasons why...

The hopes and dreams

The life that we wished we have

The time gone by

that we can not bring back...

The thoughts and the memories 

in our hearts and mind 

may keep coming back...

Even then in these 

though in streaming tears

hold on and be comforted 

in trusting the heart of God...

In hopelessness...

I have been of no hope

Yet believing in hope...

In my hopelessness

I rest my grieving soul 

in completely trusting 

the will and purposes of God...

Faithfully His grace

is seeing me through...

      @MA9172015

Take heed...

Take heed...

God 

stretches out His arms

sending 

His mercy and grace

giving Hope 

to the Hopeless...

        @MA2015

When there's no hope...

When there's no hope to hold 

What shall I do Oh Lord?...

I will comfort my heart 

in completely trusting in you...

Believing in Hope

Yet in the world 

of hopelessness...

Though to hope 

is not for me...

My soul believes 

in Hope...

Please see me through

My hopelessness I give to you

My swollen heart I lift to you

You know how I am 

suffering 

great agony and deep pain

In hopelessness 

to you I kneel 

sustain my heart

please see me through

Hopelessness

How wonderful is the word Hope...

It brightens a way...

It opens a pathway to strive...

It gives life a meaning...

It invigorates a soul...

But there are things 

that Hope can never change...

They are called reality and truth

Which only acceptance and faith

for the will and purposes of God

is the only choice...

It is called hopelessness 

a bitter truth...

They said...

       They said...

They said..."forget..."

They never know it's not that easy...

They said..."be strong..."

Do they know how it is...

Do they know how heavy...

They said..."hope..."

Have they been in hopelessness...

Have they lived in painful truth...

They said..."have faith..."

Only God knows how I believe...

Call on God

Call on God

In your deepest sorrow...

In all your misery...

When everything around you

are just sadness and pain...

and your heart could no longer bear...

Call on God!

Just call on God

in Jesus name...

wherever you're left out...

Loneliness will eat you out...

Sadness will drain your strength...

The thoughts of every detail of your pain

exhausts your sanity...

and no reason would ever fit ...

In all the void ... 

when there's nothing to hold

and believe ...

Look on God ...  

trust in what He is doing...

for He is moving...

and working things out for good

out from wherever you're left out..

In losing the one you love...

When you love someone so much...

with all your life 

with all of yourself 

and lose him... her...

in whatever way

You feel like...

pointing a gun on your chest 

to blow your heart in pieces

to it's deepest recesses...

to nothingness...

Through all these...

God knows...

He will never leave you

where you are...

He will summon the universe 

to move and come to your refuge...

to make your heart know and understand 

that there are reasons why things 

has to happen...

In His marvelous way

His grace will sustain you through 

and heal you ...

You only have to trust in Him...

No matter what ...

Trust God!

No matter what 

your circumstances are...

No matter what ...

Breathe...

And just ...

TRUST GOD...

In Hopelessness

In Hopelessness

When things around are dim 

and you are losing yourself...

When hope is not available 

though you grope for hope...

When pain and sadness 

are overwhelming 

and your eyes and heart 

are sore in crying...

for everything have turned 

to nothing...

When days and nights are passing

and you are stuck in your own shell...

for todays and morrows 

have lost their meaning

and you wish to not wake up again

to another morning...

Turn your eyes upon Jesus...

Focus your eyes on God...

He made life and the universe 

what then can He not do...?

He knows all that you've been through 

All the days He is with you...

He sees you through 

with His mercy and grace 

sustaining you...

Believe and trust 

God is leading your way

His will and purposes 

are always the best and good

from your hopelessness 

guiding you all the way...
