A Poem For Boys

alligators, Boys, Lessons learned., Poetry of Yu/stan/kema., snakes

He ran down a crooked path, 
Across a crooked snake.
It's fangs barely missed him.
I was glad for his sake.

He drove to the bayou
For an alligator's hide.
It opened up it's mouth 
And pulled him inside.

It's rows of teeth were scarey
And the smell he could not bear.
It belched him out completely
Into the cold, moist air.

I think he learned a lesson,
To follow straight paths instead.
And avoid all alligators
And be careful where he treads.

Sanctify, Oh sanctify,

This clean air I take inside.

Breathe it deep within my lungs

And exhale my wounded pride.

 

Glorify, Oh glorify,                                                 

Found on Pinterest on 8-5-16.

All the trees I walk beneath.

Teach my soul to touch the sky

And erase my unbelief.

 

Beautify, Oh beautify,

The flowers at my fingertips.

Inhale deep within each flower.

Sing their praises with my lips.

 

Magnify, Oh magnify,

All the blessings that I see.

Turn me from what’s negative. 

Focus on God’s majesty.

 

Sanctify and glorify

All the things within my soul.

Help me most to realize,

Nature’s gifts can make me whole.

 

Beautify and magnify

My faith and trust in God’s great art

And help me see His gifts for me

Come from a Father’s loving heart.

 

Breathe in and out the breath of life.

Breathe in deep and hold it fast.

Help me see the good in life

And erase my painful past.

Death comes like a robber 

In the middle of the night

And changes the faces

Of those we hold tight.

 

Found on Facebook Timeline on 7-24-17. Country and Farm Photography. Taken by Carolyn Anderson.

We sit beside the dying,

See the ravages of time

Reflected in our loved ones,

And feel it is a crime.

 

Because we feel cheated

That we’ll never see again

The energy of youth

And things that might have been.

 

We remember all the secrets

We wish we had told,

And words we left unspoken

While we both grew old.

 

No one knows the dreams

We hid deep inside,

Nor the precious moments

When we both gave in to pride.

 

So it is with sadness, 

We watch their last breath,

As they let go of life

To embrace the arms of death.

I Found Peace In A Wild Flower.

I went for a walk

To clear my troubled mind,

And to my surprise,

I looked down to find:

 

Found on Pinterest on 4-14-17. Blue Spider-wort. anniesannuals.com

A lovely blue flower

The color of the sky.

It was simply exquisite.

I could not pass by.

 

I sat on the ground and

I watched it for a while.

I swear by the stars,

I think I saw it smile.

 

It had three petals

Symmetrically placed,

And at it’s very center

God’s finger had traced, 

 

A heart of pure gold

That drew my soul in.

I could feel my heart beat

And my troubles rescind.

 

Found on Pinterest on 4-14-17. Saved from Wikimedia Foundation. Western Spider-wort/ Prairie Spider-wort. Hans Palta, Ph.d.

A peace flowed within me

As I joined with the flower.

I tarried there

For more than an hour.

 

As I got up  to leave,

My troubles went away.

Joy filled my heart and

I was happy I stayed.

WANTING TO BE MORE THAN WE ARE

Blue is the color of the sky.

I see it with my inner eye.

Golden leaves touch my heart.

Such beauty rips my soul apart.

Tall trees reach their arms to God,

While strong roots grip the sod.

I inhale the color blue,

And pull within the golden hue,

Of all the leaves I can see,

To feel God’s Spirit move in me.

Black and gray

Is the color

Of abandonment,

The total loss

Of all hope,

Of all warmth,

Goodness, and light.

The body clings               

To the feeling of         

Black despair,

In the darkest

“Inside of us lies more beauty than we can realize. It takes courage to go, where no one has gone before, and a desire to share what’s  waiting there.”

Yu/stan/kema

 

BEING ME

Freedom comes with a price

As every one  knows.

The freedom “to be,” does too,

Like a thorn is part of a rose.

When love is found inside  you,

You are likely to find some hate.

It’s a piece of yourself, like it or not.

It’s  part of humanity’s fate.

If You try to be perfect

And make no mistakes;

Give smiles to the world,

Even when your heart aches,

You’ll find the failure of being yourself

Is the greatest loss of all:

You lose your sense of identity

And build inside a wall,

That keeps love and others out.

You end up neglecting yourself

If you believe you’re better off

By not sharing your God-given wealth.

THE SUN TOUCHES ME

My fingers move to touch the light.

I  will not embrace the dark of night.

A  song starts singing in my soul

Where once despair took such a toll.

 

I dream new dreams to replace the old,

Nightmares that have now grown cold.

Your spirit fills me with peace.

I feel a sense of sweet release.

 

Your eyes watch my falling tears,

Hands heal  wounds from past years.

This simple gift of shared grief

Brings me such great relief.

 

Your warmth is like the summer sun.

Words soothe before the day is done.

You gather up the pieces of my soul.

Trust glues them back into a whole.

Betrayal Of Trust.

Betrayal of children, Pinterest photo, Poetry of Yu/stan/kema.

It came on quiet, soft feet like a cat sneaks up on prey.

Found on Pinterest on 10-10-15.

Found on Pinterest on 10-10-15. 

The quickness of the movement took my breath away.

I thought I had been able to bury the feelings deep,

And yet the tears came and I could still  weep,

For the small child who had been broken in two

And who had paid the cost for trusting in you.

How could a child still reach out and care?

Your heart is empty. There’s nothing in there.

The Purity Of Love And Sacrifice.

Found on Pinterest on 10-19-15. Isaiah 41:10

There was a time

When I believed

In the purity

Of love

Like Jesus did.

I believed

Pure love

Was

A living thing

That breathed

Inside

Every person’s

Heart and soul;

A thing that

Changed

The way

One saw:

A bad man

As good

Because of

God’s redemption;

That everyone

could become

Much more

Than He was

Before,

More real

To God,

Himself,

And other people.

All it took

Was someone’s

Strong desire

To transcend

The limits of space

And search the stars

For One

Who could believe

In the best

Within

The human heart,

That sacrifice

Was worth the cost

Of saving

Each man’s soul.

Yet I find,

Living in

This world

Of shadows

And hypocrisy,

Even the

Strongest heart

Can break

In it’s search

For pure love

And  self-sacrifice.
