God is most glorified in us,
when we are most… satisfied
in Him. Do we realize that our
Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus
  
sets the standard for living?
The practicality of real Faith
demands Love’s action each and
everyday; if we’re not giving
  
of ourselves, then what are we
really doing? Is humanity one
race of people, of various skin
tints? If we can begin, to see
  
Life, using the eyes of Christ,
then we’re on the lit path to…
personal victory, while being
an overcomer… of tiring strife.

The bluebird sits
waiting for the sun to rise
so he can sing his song

The sea turtle travels
waiting for the seasons to change
so she can return home

The writer idles
waiting for the right word to come
so they can finish their work

I wander
waiting for a lot of things
so I can feel satisfied and happy
but mostly
I wait
for you
And I’ll wait for a long time

each fold i forget
my troubles.
each crease satisfies
my obsessive tendencies.

every perfect creation
pushes me to make more.
they pile on my desk
and float down.

graceful little birds
hit the ground.
little sailboats sink
to the bottom of the sea.

overflowing desk
spilling into a mess.
cannot stop beautiful perfection
as my hands move beyond comprehension.

If tomorrow was my last
I'd do nothing.
I wouldn't skydive
I wouldn't travel
I wouldn't do everything
I've ever wanted to do.

If tomorrow was my last
I'd do as always.
I'd get up
I'd read my bible
I'd go to school
and have an average day.

If tomorrow was my last
I'd act as normal.
I'd smile to others
I'd say "hello"
I'd do my best
as I try every day.

If tomorrow was my last
I'd tell no one.
I wouldn't shout it
I wouldn't scream it
I wouldn't sing it
from every single rooftop.

If tomorrow was my last
I'd never know it.
That's why my usual
day to day consists
of all things I love
the very most.

If tomorrow were my very last
what I do today would be enough.
It would make me smile
It would make me laugh
It would make me happy
Because I have learned always
to be content in the ordinary.

Today I beg for the sunset,
and for stars to be revealed.

Yet I will not be satisfied.

Tonight, when I see their lovely shimmer,
I will yearn for the sunrise.

I suppose
I might have liked you more
before you liked me
when you were a
castle in the sky
a faraway dream
for others to have and to hold
but not me
certainly not me
when you were a
shining vision
of unattainability
I suppose
I've always been this way
always wanted more
wanted what I can't have
bored when I get it
always wishing
always wanting
dragging myself through the pain
in order to say
"look, I survived it
look, how strong I am"
nevermind
that I caused it
so I don't know
if I can deal with
your sudden attainability
don't know
if I can coerce myself through
the boredom of
happiness

Somehow
I'm never satisfied
I have this
but I'm always yearning for those

Somehow
this makes me sad
when will 'this' be enough
and I won't need those anymore

I fell for you like rain..
I'm full of your love like the ocean
You are the water to my thirst

God alone,
His my protection,
My soul rely on his salvation,
I am his wonderful creation,
Living in this paradise up to the next generation.

He told me not to limit my imagination,
Desperation,
Frustration,
Hallucination,
What a perfect combination!
Those problems has a solution.

His mercy and compassion,
Goes on and on,
He sees to made a right decision,
That keep me to stand on my own.

At times I've got frowned,
A little bit discouraged,
Totally damaged,
Eventually broken hearted,
God had promised,
That every heartaches will be cured,
As time passes it will healed,
That's a wonderful feeling of being secured,
His blood and water flowed,
His love was poured,
Yes! His heart is so pured,
As long as you will endured!
The only  one who can understand the human heart is the one who created it.
