Alphabet Soup Garden Varieties

just another insomnia night
rolling around in my mind,
playing music in this head
its memories that bind,
softest flannel winter sheets
like songs upon my skin,
eyes still remain wide open
while missing long gone kin,
slumber seems like the dream
for lids see all this darkness,
might I simply get some rest
so tomorrow Im not a mess,
tossing turns I throw pillows
and build me up a fort,
as my body tries to find comfort
and with blurry vision distort,
my greatest wish is just to sleep
and not feel all this pain,
but alas I hope for silence to seep
into my over active brain...

peace happiness love and hope

maybe I will get more than three hours
Im starting the process early tonight
it feels good to rest quietly
got some hot sleepy time tea
and an old printing of a fave
A Tree Grows In Brooklyn
too bad the type is so teeny tiny
cause its a struggle to read
but Im hooked on the classics
right now anyway...

hugs to all
 
dashing around life
in my laser blue Jeep
happy I have it
it seems like my phone rings
way too much lately
no winter wonderland
thank goodness there isnt snow
and there aint no frosty nothing
cause people here cant drive
we have deer in the meadow
that keep jumping out
like they want to meet Jesus
and Im happy today
there arent any fires to dream by
we have moderate weather
so Santa baby dont hurry
I dont want anything
but a glitter free house
for Christmas~

it is for us disciples to be fair
to honestly correct ourselves first,
for our sins to lay on the cross bare
and be studied in scripture well versed,

the truth is for all to see in His light
straightforward His word we believe inside,
with transparent accuracy what is right
as we grow in Christ and learn to abide,

sincerely wish His salvation to proclaim
gain knowledge to show thyself approved,
to be sanctified and not ashamed
and stand upon His foundation unmoved,

providing for honest things in His sight,
for the truth is our Fathers delight~
 
mayhem and mistletoe say goodbye
get the shiny stuff out of the living room
if I eat more cookies my waist will cry
cant I just fly away on a powered broom?

that would be too much fun though
as I have to play nice and remain polite
with my apple pie I had to eat some crow
cause I did have fun on Christmas night

maybe I wont choke on honey ham and eggs
so long as they arent dyed bright green
please no cheese or dairy my stomach begs
while I try hard to get this house clean

I survived this explosion maximalist holiday
when I would rather go minimalist camping
about that kind of stuff I do have a lot to say
as in my home this darn glitter keeps trampling

can I scream really loud just once outside
I dont care if the neighbors think Im crazy
before I get into my laser blue Jeep for a ride
and find a spot on the beach just to be lazy...
 
what is it about New Years
that has been drilled in our brains
do we or dont we have some resolution
why do we need to wait till now
its like a programmed preposition
want to make changes
just make them already
it seems to me that far too many
feel like cause its the beginning
of a New Year its the start of new things
which few stick to afterwards
so why even make them in the first place?
I have nothing to resolve on this eve
that is so immediate it has to be tonight
there is a time for everything
and our Father in heaven knows when that is
even though we think we do
 
in this life we all do experience the unexpected
like the loudness of a roaring thunderclap
at first it may be startling as we are riddled with fear
as though barely escaping from some violent surge

once that initial mindset passes we can think clearly
knowing that reaction does create a sharpening of vision
from the awe and panic we can then see through
when the weather has been storming around us

instead of running away and hiding under cover
our willingness is to transform that anxiety
not to be taken over by a crisis in our minds eye
its when we choose to confront unpleasant events

we rationally with sound thinking find answers
which can transform any trauma into a victory
through prayer and belief everything comes to pass
even when lightening races around like a hurricane

Our Father in heaven in the name of His Son Jesus Christ
has us safe and soundly under His umbrella
through those uncertain times when we are scared
He shelters us and gives us the hope we need

He is our essential internal compass to guide us
so we may handle any jarring surprise coming our way
and when we remember this the rain isnt such a shock
cause when we do get wet we will become dry again~

Amen.

Lets plant some words! Please feel free to post poetry, prose, any creative writing piece you would like to share, or a comment. Prayers are a most welcomed post : ) I will be using this thread as a place of self expression. I will share this poem with you all today:

might our father in heaven grant us with tolerance
to accept those friends we wish to help but cannot,
to love them unconditionally even when it hurts
to forgive their faults even though we fought,

in the name of Jesus Christ might we find the strength
to pray for those whom need to control their finance,
to understand their pain sorrows and woes
to lead those struggling in life to needed guidance,

might we pray for one another on this site
no matter whom we think is wrong or right~


Fair warning Im a typo queen so I will post lots of mistakes. We are humans after all... till we are made whole in heaven one day...

As we grow older we are told that our memory fails us, we no longer have a full grasp of past events, is that so or do we just seek to forgo the pain of yesteryear?
Is it because we are looking forward more and backwards less, I guess that is an answer that not all will accept in a world filled with exceptions, every day brings another event, a rent upon our hearts tearing us apart, a friend gone, a child suffering, a life lost without the Lord.
Do we choose to forget because remembrance is too painful?
Do we find less trauma in more favoured memories of better times past than the shadows cast in the Valley of Death?
I believe that the Lord himself eases the pain and allows us to lay the loss at the foot of the Cross, He surrounds us with His love and endows us with His peace that surpasses all understanding.
As we get older we may not remember everything but our souls sing God's Praises when we are assured that God remembers us, we look forward with intensity to that Heavenly City where pain, sorrow and suffering will no longer be and we will see our Saviour face to face. What a joy that will be to spend eternity with Him and all in Christ we love.

I just met Jesus
it’s like walking on air
Someone put their hand under my chin and
Close my mouth before I
Fall offa my chair

I just met Jesus
And I didn’t know
He was working on my heart all along putting me on the receptive
Blasting away the downward slope
So as Not to worry about what comes next

I just met Jesus
In a completely different way
A Good Soil
A fertile land
To brighten up the day.
 
some humans can be so fragile
sensitive vulnerable soft spoken
even cunning in their meekness
while others can cut through
bs in life like they are a sword
leaving the wounded by words
in their bloody wake of truths
I like to believe I found my place
betwixt the many juxtapositions
requiring deep contemplation
to skate imperfectly on that edge
and hopefully I dont lose balance
so I can keep away from guillotines
cause this world sure likes it when
there are those upon the chopping block
it takes attention from their glory of darkness
as deception flies fluidly in their air
therefore I never forget my gifted armor
for it is my helmet of salvation
that keeps me from falling
 
be thankful if you've had an easier life than most
theres a lot of pure evil in this place
some of us have seen more than others
that sickening kind of horror haunts souls

they hunt dreams like rotting soldiers
on the battle fields of this thing called life
recking wars havoc in minds of good men
therefore exercise kindness and compassion

everyone hurts and needs prayers
for some things its simply much better
not to put into the rawness of language
cause you really dont want to know anyway

its those souls numb to mundane woes
that really feel all energies around us
and do not wish for compassions sympathy
knowing little empathy is truly available

they are the ones who pray most diligently
to spare others of the same destiny of experience
so when you see that kind of nightmare glaze
be thankful you've had an easier life than most

love and peace to all my brothers and sisters
fighting the great fight of survival on earth
our days of rest shall come upon us soon
when the noise of this world shall be silenced
 
they hunt dreams like rotting soldiers
on the battle fields of this thing called life

I remember when I was running after a dream back when I was young. Oh boy how I felt like I was a cursed and that I felt I had to bulldoze anyone and anything that got in my way. Men was surely all I ever wanted lol....Lucky for me I am not keen on running people over to get what I want. But dressing up to please men was all I thought about going out.

The "rotting" part you mention came afterwards when I realised parts of me was rotting away as God made sure what I was chasing was not in my best interest. And I remember a track by the song by Leon Haywood "dont push it". in which case your poem has blessed me to remember I cannot push and force my way to a new job either😊

I know shes not a kid anymore
the kids been through heck
we jokingly sat in the kitchen
and counted all her surgeries
they are removing the stent
placed inside her liver
early tomorrow morning and poof
its like a casual occurrence
no emotion tied to the procedure
like a mundane boring day
in the life of get it over with
my heart is heavy at the thought
babies are still babies even grown
this will be number 14
I find this a sad state of affairs
but she does wake up again every time
and for this I thank our Father in heaven
in the name of His Son Jesus Christ
cause her life is in His hands
and He wants her well :)
