The core of our earth gets up to 10,800 degrees fahrenheit. This is the type of heat I know I will never experience. A force so unlike anything I have ever felt. Love does not feel like the core of the earth. It is weightless.

Lifting me off my toes. Putting gravity to disgrace. The earth gave up on holding us down. We moved through the clouds together in a slur of elation.

God let us pass by with a turned eye. Knowing that power has nothing to do with love, but giving up. Letting go. Releasing every burden held between those hinged shoulders.

The universe accepted our love. Letting us glide into an ever open space of everything we will know nothing about. Our love will be translated in space as a constellation. A phenomenon we all drop our jaws to watch and will never touch.

Our love is something like that. Unstoppable, but further away than either one of us can reach. Only for the fact that if we could define this love it would not be so special. Our telescope will tell myths about us one day. This love will stand the test of time.
Everyone should feel this kind of love.

Guns and violence you hear of almost ever day
People take drugs or meds or ***** to try to make the pain go away
People abusing those they claim to love
Children not safe at school
People not concerned about breaking rules
Politicians corrupt, out for self not us
People not caring about the greater good
People in our nation starving for food
People abusing their own children
There is a cost to all of this
Our innocence is lost

I walk along these city streets
Traverse these country roads
Conversations with the souls I meet
Setting down our heavy loads

Helping to build it brick by brick
The pathway of mankind
Placing markers along the way
In case I come back to visit sometime

Arriving at the center
Where man has made his stand
The crossroads of all humanity
With high hopes and less demand

I come here bearing gifts
Everything it is I have
As the years have filled my pockets
With empty promises

Of all man has to offer
Of all that man has done
No one is the victor
In life's battle never won

So I continue to walk these city streets
Traverse these country roads
Conversations with the souls I meet
Setting down our heavy loads

Some days it is a struggle to get out of bed, but I'll do it anyway
Sometimes it is hard to concentrate and keep my focus, I'll do it anyway
Some days I don't feel like studying and would rather do sometime fun but I'll do it anyway
Someday I  struggle with self doubt or feel like things are not going right
I might be tempted to give up, I don't feel like overcoming another obstacle but I'll do it anyway
Some days I feel I lack the zeal the finish line of my goals seem so far away It seems tough to get back on track but I'll do it anyway

Follow the trail through a Forest green,
Whisper my name to the Wind unseen-
Walking along till you find your Dream,
Remember:
Im right where Ive always been

Watch as the waves of the Ocean Blue,
Carries away all your troubles
To
A Paradise where I"ll be waiting for
You-
Remember:
Love will always be True

So close Your eyes,
A Heart broken by Lies-
Promises made truely never dies.
And Keep your Heart,
With Truth as its guard-
Remember:

At the End begins a brand New Start...

Place a Prayer upon a Star
High,
Lit by the moon in a dark
Sky-
The answer will come like a
Lullaby,
Remember:
Hope will get you by.

Search Your Heart when you cant
Find,
Answers unknown by your own
Mind-
Faith slowly grows only with
Time,
Remember:
You will always be mine

So open your Soul,
For sadness must still go-
Believe that Love will always hold.
And Keep your Heart,
With Truth as its guard-
Remember:

At the End begins a brand New Start,
Yes
At the End begins A brand new Start.

To be happy
oh what a wonderful thought
I suppose we all are
in our own special way.
Is it riding in a car
on a glorious Sunday afternoon.
Leather driving gloves
creaking in the midday sun?
Walking endless miles
at the golf club
dodging clumps
scoring a hole in one.
Holding your grandchild
for the very first time.
A new life cradled in your arms
your own little grandson.
Or is it knowing in your heart
you have all you can wish for.
And to be happy with that
no more just what you have.
Happiness means everything.

Everything is separated from each other
But when you see silently
It seems all together
The day sleeps in the night as I exist in you

The born,
The death all for thee
Black or white
True or false all for thee

The continents are separated, isolated
As we are alienated from each other
But on the other hand we are all together
Apparently we are  moving toward the different direction

The dark,
The light all for thee
Silence or thunder
Melody or chaos all for thee

Either it’s a stone or an emotion
Even either love or hate,
Neither war nor peace
Neither dialectics nor mystic
All  have bent you and me

There are too many invisible divine strings
On every matter or even every non matter
yet bonded with the heaven and the hell
So, all we move toward the same destination

All we are moving toward the same destination...........

It was a wonderful experience
Working with Rupal
I am so fortunate
I have been very bold in
Asking these great poets
To help me
Their gracious response
Was truely Inspiring

I thought I saw you in a crowd
I wonder did I say your name out loud
The beating of my heart like a melody
My thinking of you stirring up old memories
It made me wonder why our relationship did not last
I just hope I learned some lessons from the past
I was so young
You were my first love
Things seemed to be going too fast
I was unsure how to communicate that to you
You also said that in the near future you would have to care for your brother and sister, your Mother's condition was so severe
I was afraid of caring for those children that were half grown and who were not my own
I now think I could have done it for you and with your help
I know that I can not get a second chance with you
I am happy for you that you have a family that Loves you so much
I wish that we had kept in touch throughout the years
I think everyone needs more friends to share happiness and tears and fears with.
I miss most of all the friendship we used to have
It was not you that I saw in the crowd it was a case of mistaken identity

With God, all things are possible
All things inside His Will
My heart beats fast asking for this
Believing, not for my glory, but for His
We will meet
And I will greet
Her to You
Please Lord, for me, come through
There's no way for me to pay
So it's up to You to pave the way
Trust is hard
Faith is hard
But I trust Your faithfulness
I have faith in Your goodness
You know my heart
I feel Your heart
To win a contest could be
Such a great testimony
To be a witness would be
A healthy planted seed
For March 1 8
Patiently, I will wait
This poem definitely isn't anything great, more of a prayer. Praying for the opportunity of a lifetime.
In order for this to happen, God literally has to make the way!! Without His hand on this situation, it won't happen. Trusting for His provision and guidance!!! Please pray with me for March 18 of 2014! I'll give details later down the road. Thank you!

Break me Lord...

So in my brokenness you can put me back together

Take me Lord...

Rearange the pieces that do not fit

Into your mold...

Pour me out for better

Bought and sold...

In Christ Jesus I will live

The God it is I serve
Does not come in a box
That I pull out from time to time
When there's something that I want
I do not make three wishes
As he waves his magic wand
Believe me when I say to you
That is Not the God I serve

The God it is I serve
Lets me go through the hard times
When all of it is said and done
It brings me closer to his side
Where I rely more on his strength
And much less do on mine
My hope in all this is that you see
The God it is I serve

The God it is I serve
Does more than I could ask
The Creator of the universe
Only wants for me the best
With love he looks on this, his child
And sees beyond the mess
Is there joy in the God I serve
The answer would be yes
It is well worth it all
For the it is God I serve
