ladybug Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Guide Me Lord Guide me Lord Through pastures wild Help me to see Through the eyes of a child Sail me away on seas of green In cool waters wash my spirit clean Lift me high on wings of a dove Carry me home To my first love Give me the key To heavens gate Where my dear Father Patiently waits Rock me away in waters warm Back to the caress of Mother's arms ________________ Valentine's Legacy Valentine... Patron of the entrothed Healer, martyr, and saint Vessel of the Holy Spirit Who lifts those who fall To walk again and not faint Defender of Christ Following God till the end A blessed heart slain at the hands of man Let's pause and remember Our special friends message To stand firm to what you believe in _______________________________ There is Always a Spring Cold and alone In the winter of my heart Frozen from innocence lost I fall to my knees Heavy from the iniquity God please set me free One ray of sunshine Gently touches my heart Slowly melting away the frost Like a pink bud of a rose My heart slowly flowers Catching raindrops From God's april showers ____________________ Journey At Midnight Sailing, drifting, tossed about Stars and moonbeams blotted out Fog commencing fearful dreams Nothing is really as it seems... Saint Elmo's fire luminousity Claims the mast and calms the sea From east to west turns right around Back to realms where angels sound... And fish swim in schools of seven With waters flowing back to heaven Upon the horizon an eagle takes flight No more fear in the valley of night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladybug Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 I wrote this one May 3, 2001 Thy Will If I could give my life for all I would do it without hesitation! What would heaven be for me If even one soul suffers damnation? Would I be able to rest in peace Can you not take them higher? Must the fellow men I love Writhe eternally in the fire! Can faith be forced against your will? Are you not the author of our faith? If you work through all and in all, Did you not choose their fate? Did you not say you blind who you will, According to your providence... The veil taken away in due time... Then where is the Christian confidence? You say you desire us all be saved That you wish none to perish But day in, day out, they tell me Your will cannot be accomplished Could you give my precious treasure To the men whose spirits are poor? Punish me instead, I cannot bear My heart torn for ever more! Each soul a beat of my own heart For every one my heart does pray Take my life and give it to them I can rest no other way!

ladybug Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 I wrote this one in 1999 Harvest Moon The harvest moon pierces through the velvet sky tonight. It's wistful moonbeams caress the shadows of my oak tree... and dance on my cold windowsill. Like a lullaby the vision soothes my spirit as memories drift through my mind... back to a place of youth and happiness...and of you. I still see you in my dreams so clearly. Like the harvest moon you almost seem within reach... yet a chasm of time and space lies between us. I reach out my hand to touch your beautiful face but you are an illusion... I grasp at thin air and it haunts my weary soul. The rustling trees moan in the relentless breeze, amber leaves slap my windowpane... So I close the windows and draw the shades as a lone cricket sadly sings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladybug Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 Written June 2, 2000 Empire of the Son Distant drumming spirits humming ancient earth rumbling Mother groaning child crowning new dawn rising Heritage lost, freedom gained bitter sweet decision Incense smoking dream envoking remembrance in the wind Deep warm emerald waters swiftly flow home to the sea Clock unwinding Book unbinding life secrets of the tree Horizon gleaming color streaming holy empire of the free!

ladybug Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 Written in 1999 The Sacred Tree We are but individual leaves On the tree of divinity And its roots are grounded in and sustained by God The 'leaf' may contemplate "I have this divine power within me Therefore I must be this power Maybe I don't need this tree" God's power does flow within each leaf And course through its veins Yet should one leaf fall It cannot survive In and of itself For a while after it has fallen It may still feel alive And believe it's own delusion But in reality, death is it's only fate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladybug Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 Written in 2000 The Guardian In a bottomless pit of darkness I fall Frantically reaching for His hand I barely escape by the skin of my teeth And on broken legs I stand Crying, scrambling, searching For the One that holds the keys A vision unfolds that I cannot deny And brings me to my knees! Sweet seraphim, I've found you! My guardian angel in disguise Your whispers water my seeds of faith And clear the mud from my eyes! Amber light upon her hair Pink roses in her hand Golden wings fly me through the veil Into a distant holy land Walking every step with me since my birth And from our heavenly home She has guided and protected me Lest I cast my foot against a stone Sweet seraphim, angel of the most high You've known my heart's desire You've fueled the spark within my heart Into an eternal fire! Now peacefully I lay to rest Christ safely nestled in my heart He encompasses me so completely I know we'll never again have to part! Heavenly Father all a-glow Seven churches in your hand They melt together like a honeycomb Face to face we finally stand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladybug Posted July 15, 2004 Author Share Posted July 15, 2004 [quote name='+GOD_iS_mOvInG' date='+Jul 14 2004, 06:50 PM'] you've got Wisdom, ladybug.. [/quote] Thanks you guys/gals. Those poems document some soul searching I went through a few years ago. I was going through a dark night of the soul I guess. It was very hard. Poetry helped me to clear my mind. I've had writers block for about 3 years now though. So I'm working on my art instead. I want to write some childrens books that rhyme sort of like Dr. Suess and illustrate them myself. They will teach christian truths, but be universal and disguised in symbolism so that people not of our faith won't put up barriers and walls and then all religions can learn from it. THEN, I can put in my biography that I'm catholic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
