Nature's song

I'm in love with nature's song

A certain serenity that is just beyond words

An undefiled beauty

A  melody that is sweeter than any other song

The symphony is inscribed on every plant and creature that dwells upon the earth

From the rippling of the river to the sound of the birds singing

It brings a calmness to my spirit like no human can ever do

No singing or preaching can beat natures sermon

For its a direct connection from God above

The passing of the breeze is like God brushing a kiss against my cheek

The trees wave and cheer as He comes to sit by me

In nature I see a purity that I wish for inside

Lost for Words as I listen to nature's song

The dance we shared

It clearly wasn't planned
But we ended up on the dance floor
Guess I can say we learned
Or expanded something that wasn't there before

So the music began and so did the movement
It began slow but the dance was fast within a moment
Without really understanding the steps we did the tango anyway
Til we realised that everyone else did it another way

So we slowed it down
Calmed it down a little
However still we'd learnt something different now
So still I decided to stay on the dance floor with you

The song changed and so did the atmosphere
Moved on a little from the first place that we were
Slight distance between but I waltzed right with you
Keeping an eye on the steps so in the dance I wouldn't lose you

The melody we whispered set the pace of the dance
Words in their own right seemed to do their own dance
Like sharing a passion between, they coiled and brought wisdom
Like us being the builders, and the words bricks building a kingdom

The first dance it seemed, like no-one was watching
But on the second, we realised the crowd had been watching
But in the focus of the dance their whispers seemed to fade
So we enjoyed the moment for it was only for two made

The song has just come to an end even though I didn't want it to
But good things come to an end even if we don't want them to
Yet I feel blessed, I shared a dance with you
And while I do the next dance, I will remember you

Letting you go as you walk back into her arms
She's your partner for life, for her you can write psalms
Your destiny, your vision so lead her step by step
And I pray they play the right song for your next two-step

It was different, though un-prepared
But I believe I enjoyed the dance we shared

Yours truly...

Inspire me

Inspire me

Fill my brain with words

Flow through me

Let me get lost in a different world

Of motion

New emotions

Give me a vision

As I wait and listen

I trust you to be in control

Take my hands and my eyes

Let your spirit in me flow

Blind me to the worlds lies

Adjust me

Reset me

Switch on the You that dwells within me

So direct me

The path I want to take, you said ‘I am the way’

The truth and the Life, then you taught me how to pray

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be your name

Your name is the one I take and thus the reason you came

You knew me

Yet you loved me

Died for me

And redeemed me

My devotion and my hope

My strength when I cannot cope

My love, my friend, my life

My peace, my joy, the one to whom I’m wife

You’re everything and much more

When gripped by your presence, my inspiration soars

So back to you I come please refill me

Inspire me once more…please

Inspire me

Fear's match

My mind was at war
All around was desolation and my reason was at the brink of giving in
Fear kept turning up and taking charge over my life
So in its absence, I began to search for help
I took up weapons and pumped up weight by the Word
So when fear knocked...FAITH ANSWERED!

Legacy

The stages in life swiftly pass by
The days are numbered, and death will draw nigh
We're born; we live, one day we'll die
An inevitable process, but to its law we must comply

We have dreams and ambitions
So much we want to reach for 
For all of them we have reasons
And that drives and pushes us even more

We only have one life to live
The wheel of life turns slowly but surely
A second chance is only for God to give
And not everyone will get it, for some die prematurely
What stands before us are opportunities
While we're living in the face of present scrutiny
We must not give up our dream
"I will make it" should be our only theme

Look at life from the eyes that are above
For they that cheer you on left a legacy of love
A legacy of faith
A legacy of hope
A legacy of patience
A legacy that is left and known around the globe

What you do today, tomorrow will be a headline story
But without an impact, it can only just be history
Know to none, but only to you
For you will be the one that will account for what you do

So make a choice and choose wisely
Look at yourself and regard your chance highly
What you shall be depends on the decision made presently
For while you live, you're leaving a legacy

What will it say?

The Silent Voice Of Nature

The clouds above moving like messengers

Carrying a message that is decoded by the world below

The caress of the wind brushing against the leaves in the trees

Moving against my skin, making nature one with me

I'm part of the dance of nature

As I listen to the silent voice of nature

Sightings

The start of a day
"Father I ask that you keep me through today
Whatever I face may You please make a way
I commit all to You, in Jesus name I pray
Amen"

Stepping out into the world
My five senses fully in touch with world
My eyes wide open like the sun that gazes down upon this earth
My nose taking in the breath that I'm blessed to take so I inhale
The blessing of life that I'm privileged to have
Not deserving of it but I give thanks to He who gave

Above the hum of nature, my ears hear the movement of our modern transportation
My feet feel the force of the earth pushing against gravity, a perfect equation
The trail of sweetness left on my tongue
Complementing the sweetness I hear in natures song

I'm moving forward
Driven forward
As I pass by what they call a haven
I realise though blessed I live in satan's eden
So my ears fight the sounds that try to penetrate into my reason
I plug in the sound of the music that my soul will season
Questioning why man can so defile their body with wine
Why so many perish because of listening to the devil's lying

Increasing the pace
Not quite ready for what I'm about to face
My eyes look and behold a shock, its just a young a child
But their actions, how she's dressed just looks like a woman who's defiled
How could her mother let out, make her child prey
But she only teaches what she is, so releases to the hounds at bay
How so painful to see the blindness of a broken innocence
My eyes turn away to keep within the state of my inner immanence

My next step lands on a curse
Something I cannot describe the hatred for in one verse
A box so small but its use is so perverse
What is says is right but the actions are adverse
It reads 'smoking kills' so why are they still selling
Coz in reality the distribution is just the equal of serial killing
This world I still live in
Is full of the corruption of the unbelieving

Ignoring my other senses' experience
I keep going, my journey continues
But it seems like this day has a world of experience
For the buffeting of evil of continues
I breathe in an aroma I'm sure is the stench of hell
Drunkenness or smoke I cannot even tell
She just blew it in my face and its disgusting just to taste it
Repulsive is the word I have to describe it

In my heart I sigh and cry for the abomination in this world
For in my heart there is an indictment being spoken by the Word
The things I wish to do I end and return
Though disregarded by my peers I still have a rest within
Step by step
I begin my escape
From the surroundings outside back to my home
Now back in confides of the place I belong

The end of a day
"Father I thank you for keeping me today
I pray forgive me if any wrong I may say
I know there is no problem that you cannot make a way for
You're my only hope and to whom I give all
May you keep my eyes fixed only on your Word
May you keep my ears shut from the things of the world
Guide my feet and feelings to your ways
Let my mouth give thanks for every breath I take
In your holy name I pray
Thank you for today
Amen"

Friend

I do not believe that true friendships should have pain
I do not ever wish in a friend to be the cause of pain
Just like the walls of a family should shield you away from pain
True friendship should be the umbrella that covers you when it rains

They say love is blind
But love has its eyes wide open
There's more to love than just being kind
More to give and more unspoken

Realities
Qualities
Endurance
The value of the treasure you hold at heart as a friend

I'm not one to quit on what I believe
For what I have I did not deserve to receive
But I hold you at heart if I call you 'my' friend
Its not just a title but an inscription til my life's end

Only wish you could see you the way I do
Only wish you knew the way I love you
But we are on a journey that takes time to build
But I pray that may life the best fruit in us yield

Unknown to you is my value of you
But in all I hope I'll always have a friend in you

Yours truly...

Present realities

Realities unfolding before my eyes

Like the clouds moving away, revealing the blue sky

What lies beyond the smiles and the silence

The way we must be now tied by a compliance

For we must comply

Conform to the way things shall be

No compromise

This is the way we ought to see

New realities unfolding before my eyes

Why I write

Like a painter passionately painting upon a canvas

The brushes big and small moved by the faithful hand

The results of the picture judged by onlookers as marvellous

The harsh and gentle strokes now come to an end

So it is with my mind's dictations as I say

I transcribe the ongoing proceedings with a focused mindset

Yet not always so focused as the mind is swayed

But what is brought ashore is what is caught in the net

As a photographer with a camera in focus

The goal to capture every moment of the event

So I zoom in and out, snap a shot and stay in focus

To bring the full image til my mind is content

Outpoured emotions

Unwanted divisions

Set up commissions

Bringing clarity to visions

These are the pieces of the puzzle I play with

The pipes and the tubes my mind breathes with

In the moment when my mind is clustered with thoughts

Ventilation scarce so I weave in the thread of thoughts

My blanket has rough patches but still a soft lining

The words brought forth like a stage play of miming

Each writing is like a story but not always in full clarity

But still to the reader it remains the work of Charity

--

Only a vessel still, so here's the main reason in words

The One above me is the greatest Poet who wrote my life's lines

I'm a dictation that came from His lips and written in His Words

So my gift is on my life transcribed, with that He also gave me signs

Why I write?

Its not a simple one to answer

But I write

To reveal and uncover

To comfort but not to blander

To cherish and to love

To simply tell a story

And to express what's within me

Thus the reason why I write

Soul ties

The heart speaks, It hears

Every part of me reacts

To the emotions that are oozing the anxiety within

Soul ties

I watch the moves, the motions

Reactions and actions

In sync with the atmosphere that surround them

Tied, hidden and veiled in love

I watch and learn

Prospect

This is the future

Soul ties

Words

A little emotional poetry I wrote when I was rather disturbed      Subject I wrote was: Foolish complexities

In words we throw so many stones
We simply dive into the unknowns
In someone's life one leaves an unwanted hint
Which may just be caused by an unbearable split

Disregarding the feelings of another we move forwards with words
Words upon upon words in spite of different worlds
But all is said
There's left no apology
A gap already made
It now works like psychology

U did say a few
Broke it down like u knew...me
But alas we're lost in words
So I break it down in words
No wrong in consultations for lyrics
But pretence to me feels like shrewd gimmicks
I can't pretend coz I'm human I remember
Bad feeling in my heart is just an unwanted member
Not asking for no apology
But this will probably work still like psychology
Forget the thought and movin forward I go
But just thought I'd lay it down u ought to know

One thing
I'm a Christian
Next thing
I'm still living
Though annoyed by words
I still communicate in words

Words upon words
Even though in different worlds
Unspoken words
But written words
I'm through
All to you

A little odd bit of presentation
But thought it necessary after our little conversation

In lines
In rhymes
Whatever works
My way with words

Peace

C.E Taffy

Re-identifying myself - part 2

A new reality unfolded
A thirst that has sprouted deeper roots within my soul
There's only one way to get loaded
The Word I must feed on and a clearer identity will show
Not many words to express the feeling inside my heart,
But I know its real
Once more God is letting me feel the strength of that seal
The seal He placed when I was born again
Now I'm seeking to become a good sister..a good woman

Character is a victory I'm determined to get
To get it I have to meet the standard the Word has set
Set in His Will, His Word....His way
I'm willing and I shall be obedient
I shall eat the good of that land
This is a new start to climbing up the ladder of the supernatural
To live in the spirit I have to defy the natural
The flesh is the unbeliever
My spirit the make-believer
I have to only feed my soul which is the part of me that's the real believer

I believe I will make it now and I have no doubt
This burden had been heavy til I couldn't even shout
Now I'm clear and I know my direction
I have no fear coz I've got the pieces of my identification
He's still working on me
To make me what I ought to be
I may not be where I should be
But one thing I know is God is working on me

So I'll play my part well
Do all I can so that my life can surely tell Who dwells
I am a girl on a mission and driven by a commission
With a vision set though it tarries I wait for it
Knowing one thing that no-one can stop it
So this is me
I'm re-identifying myself.

Re-identifying myself

I was walking up the rough side of the mountain when life gave me a backhand
I never I thought I was going to make it when I fell, seemed like I was drowning in sinking sand
On the other hand...
I had embraced a part of the world that was dragging me down, yet still trying to make it
Not realising that I was never going to progress unless I was to lose it
Lose the talk and the walk of the very person I had become
The person that wasn't the real me for to Christ I had to come
Seeing it was painful but I had to give up many and gain only some
The only thing that could hold me up was Jehovah's mighty arm

So here I am,
I had been a daughter from the beginning
I had lost my way from my birth
but God did redeem me
May God help me be the person I ought to be
Til all the world can see Christ in me.
The way He walked and talked and made the blind to see
The way He changed every situation even when He calmed the sea

So where am I...how far is the distance from that place I ought to be?
I'm re-identifying myself
