Poem About Art Life and Vulnerability
—
by
Pure Art Pure art is fragile, stitched together and held by our dreams, joys, and struggles. It is not perfect for life is not perfect and the truest art reflects life as it is – imperfect, messy, yet full of possibility. It is the imperfection that speaks to our imperfect hearts, assuring us that we…

Growing Pains – A Poem

by
Growing Pains – A Poem Why are these dreams that stretch out across my heart’s field of desire, That glisten Like droplets of drew sparkling on the morning grass, So hard to obtain, so hard to take to take hold of, And so hard to lasso and pull close to reality? The burden is bearing…

Eclipse – A Poem

by
Eclipse – A Poem Two sides of a conflicting coin Flip like faces in a dramatic act. Two intricate and separate forces entangle In a bitter struggle, leaving Earth cloaked in black. How can such a powerful light Be smothered by such a small, sinister hand? A visceral visual of what evil can accomplish When given…

Beauty’s Battle – A Poem About Endurance and Fighting Fear She sits engaged in a battleBeneath the shadow of her own face,Slowly conceding to her own demonsBrought back by their blows, crushed beneath their weight.

by
Reflections – A Poem About Character Flaws The extent of my weaknesses are revealed Beneath the weight of uncertainty.

Accepting and Being Comfortable With Our Weaknesses
—
by
“So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited. Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. But he said to me, “My…

The Neglected Lover – A Love Poem About Self Love and Loving Yourself
—
by
Sometimes it is easy to love your neighbor, but much more difficult to have self love. Self loathing and self-hatred are real problems for some people. You would never treat others or hold them to the same standards as you do yourself, so why do you keep doing it? You’re just as deserving of love as…

Whom Shall I Send?

by
“And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?’ Then I said, ‘Here I am! Send me.’” (Isaiah 6:8) Many times my selfishness wishes my ears were mute to the Lord’s whisper of “whom shall I send”. I have been searching for God my entire…

Fortified
—
by
These castle walls have been built by the tears and pain of my own heart. Each stone carefully constructed and sealed in layers of mortar to make sure there are no breaches, that no enemy reaches my inner domain, no intruder is able to sneak and slip between the cracks. I’ve built these walls strong…

Stop Procrastinating At Work
—
by
Procrastinating has always been one of my worst character flaws. I always have the tendency to want to play now, work later. In the moment, I honestly have every intention of getting to the work; things just always take longer than I expect them to. At this point in my life, I’ve just come to…
