Quiet and reserved is how I roll. Though once I get to know you, I go from being a shy person to a protective one, you can always count on me to be there when you need me.
Favorite Scripture
"Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me, for in you my soul takes refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed." Psalm 57:1
I know some of us are inclined towards the arts, and I was interested in reading them :) This is a five minute poem I just made up. My friend, J, asked me why I wanted to "beautifully broken" tattooed on myself. This is the quick, but heartfelt reply.
The heart is broken, the soul shattered.
With arms wide open, He holds me.
The tears fall, like raindrops on the petals of roses
And He catches them, thinking each a precious memory.
The body aches, and the spirit is lonely,
Yet He is there, waiting patiently for my submission.
I stumble; I fall, and can only look up.
The courage, the bravery: a façade.
The smile hides the pain and the laughter disguises depression.
Alone at night, the tears, the sorrow surrounds me.
I feel so lost, alone, and broken.
He demands my submission, my being, my brokenness
And He accepts it, calling it beautiful.
He holds me as I feel alone. He kisses my tears away, loving me unconditionally.
He patches my spirit together with His love, and He mends my heart.
He tells me I am a woman of worth; He loves me, regardless of my sins.
As He restores my soul, I begin to understand.
In this state of pain, loneliness, vulnerability, I am tired and humble,
I give Him what He has wanted all along: me and nothing else.
He wants me to be submissive to Him, to give Him my all, scarred though it is.
He wants my shattered soul, and He calls me “beautifully broken”.
here's one i wrote, hope your guys like it:
Sun and Moon
I lay there at night whispering
And just like the Moon and just like the Sun
You and I are meant to be one.
I was lost and I was broken,
You knew and You were whole,
I knew right then and there You were my savior,
You knew right then and there that I had to be saved.
I said to myself
And just like the Moon and just like the Sun
You and I are meant to be one.
I was the reason You fought for life,
I gave You strength and safety, I kept
You warm from the cold fingers of fear and sadness.
You gave me clarity and made me believe.
And just like the Moon and just like the Sun
You and I are meant to be one.
You were my light through the darkness,
To the mountain I avoided out of hate,
You stood there and told me when we get
to the top, that I’ll be once more at the Gate,
I stood there and told You,
And just like the Moon and just like the Sun
You and I are meant to be one.
I took your hand and followed the path,
And I feared to encounter His wrath,
You kept looking back,
making sure I was still in one piece,
we were halfway there, when I felt
your gaze turning away,
I fell to my knees, You cradled
my head and dried my tears and said,
And just like the Sun and just like the Moon
You and I are meant to be good.
I regained my strength and faith,
as we neared the peak, You climbed
on a rock and lost your balance,
falling in my arms, saying,
you’ve fallen from Grace,
I looked into your face,
saying, an Angel as yourself
can do no wrong, but you’ve
brought the fallen back to the Gate.
I carried you the rest of the way,
while whispering in your ear,
And just like the Moon and just like the Sun
You and I are meant to be one.
I gently set you down,
And led you to the Gate,
I fell to my knees awaiting my fate,
tears flowing freely as I grasped
your hand, You wiped my tears
and said that I’ve fallen
in His strong arms.
The Gate opened and we
walked in, I looked back and
saw the Sun and the Moon become
one when I heard His voice
in my heart saying,
And just like the Moon and just like the Sun
You two were meant to be one.
