Void of friendship

An empty void, a forgotten love

The struggle to survive has now resurrected the will to reconcile two lives that drifted apart

A starved ear, a hungry spirit 
Longing to hear the voice and feed the hunger within

A forgotten love
Or is it just hidden and etched within my heart

Burning a hole of condemnation at each thoughtful interval

The price of friendship paid in full, but in part is it redeemed

Every try is shunned by circumstances

A void builds

Sucking in every opportunity to try again

Defeating the mission my heart so much longed for

The difference of dwelling places

Destinies I once believed were intertwined…still joined

But the strings

They disturb me

They are swayed by the wind

The wind of forgetfulness

Humble we must become
And never forget the roots that brought us to where we are

I am still the same

The name never forgotten

Light…the lily that rose out of sorrow and to unending joy

Hidden life stays hidden

Not seeking to search it out so much
But to be a part of it once more

Once more
Out of the deafening sound of silence 
There are many voices that speak

But I have one of my own
Always there

Never forgotten
Always there

What shall become of us my friend
I dare to dream

The journey begins from today

The mission to re-build

Riddles spoken but understood by the heart

I write to understand even myself

Here it lays in letters and signs

So let the journey start

Inspirational

Another year gone by and a new beginning. For some the same continuation of past problems and locked on burdens unreleased from their backs. Yet still it’s a new beginning. From the spirit of the past year we move ahead into a new era and hold on to the present, looking ahead to the future. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 zeroed now its double digit glory! Surely what held you back in the year gone by cannot be the same thing that drags you back this year, you can’t let it.

Feel the music in the air and celebrations as each heart beats in melody with the song of the season. Holding on to each note that shall shape my year and yours with the first person I have given a commitment, Christ. A lost ambition is renewed and the lens is refocused on my telescope of faith. Whatever I wish to get I cannot only wish but I must believe for faith will bring it right in front of me. This is a year of transformation and so we must be transformed by the renewing of our minds. Yes, our minds.

A phase passed where the real ambition had been denatured by the heat of worry and stresses of the world. But it seems now it has been re-anchored as it should be, our focus should once more be clear. All things will surely be added unto us when we first seek the Kingdom of God for that is the real ambition. Every person has a wish to look back at the end of the year and know that they have accomplished something. See we made it! We made it not by own selves for we are not able to cross over to each new day by our own doing. We made it because God brought us through each day we thought was impossible to live through. We made it because God saw us fit to live through another year and so He decided to keep me and you. So we shall hold out and live each day like it’s the last! The real inspiration is Christ and though people deny Him over again each year, He was, is and always will be the reason for the existence of every being.

Today the sun rose to shine light upon the New Year. My wish I wish to share, to keep the real ambition ignited and no longer see myself living but Christ living in me.

Happy New Year
