Peaceful.
Watching the clouds go by;
tiny water droplets amassing far in the west,
in the serene blue sky.
Birds chirping happily in their nest;
an infusion of pleasant melodies.
Trees waving cheerfully
in the cool afternoon breeze
Mind adrift,
floating in the distance.
Lost in time.
Daffodils smiling in the sunshine,
Feels like a Deity
healing my heart,
soothing my soul,
speaking to me.
In that moment,
I sense God.
....................................................................................................
Ever Just sat outside one nice summer day and observed your surrounding? I look at nature and it just Shows God's creativity and ingenuity! God is just amazing and this just captures that for me,hope you are blessed! :-)

A moment
Wednesday, 14 July 2010
Connected/In your presence
Head bowed
Hands raised
Heart in total surrender
Waiting to hear from you
The simple pleasure of gazing into your eyes
Being still before you
Blissful Intimacy
For our hearts to be connected
Basking in your presence, not expecting anything in return
Burdens laid at your feet
In you I know I am complete
Nothing really satisfies
Like when you hold me and call me by name
The work, the money, and the cars – they don’t gratify.
Remaining in your love and enjoying your company
Soul longing for you as the deer longs for water
In your presence
Where all fear is gone
I find my rest
In your presence
Your Ubiquitous essence
Encompasses me round about.
In that place where I belong
Seeking you with all my heart till I find you there
The fullness of my joy
My refuge and strength
A very present help
I can come before you with singing and thanksgiving
Early in the morning
Receiving what you say
As a precious treasure; a heart-felt love letter
Till I connect with you.© The poets voice~~~ July 2010, All rights reserved.

Refiner's fire
Rough edges. Jagged borders. Cold disposition.
Accumulated over the years
due to rejection. Abuse
Life’s way of making you want to disappear
Throwing away all you hold dear
Holding a false perception that you are just a ‘mere’
- A Mere person and nothing more
But somehow finding yourself right in the middle
In the heat of it all
Where those rough edges are being smoothed
Wounds are being soothed
And the healing begins
Still in the fire,
Changes like spare parts
Come together in the assembly hall
Till you no longer look like YOU
The mirror now reads:
A spitting image of the refiner
.........................................
Most of us have gone through "fire" in one way or another. Through our trials and tribulations, rough edges were smoothed and we were molded into shape until we more closely resembled what we were meant to be.
God allows us to go through hard times so that we may grow and become smooth and shiny. His goal is for us to become a reflection of Him that not only He can see, but also so others can see Him in us.
The amazing thing is that while we ae in the fire,He's holding us and watching us because if we are in there too long, we may get damaged. So he cares! He's just trying to ensure you come out as PURE GOLD! © The poets voice~~~ July 2010, All rights reserved.

A virtuous woman
A virtuous woman, who can find?
She is worth much more than rubies
She is strong
Her lamp burns late into the night
A woman of virtue, yes she is me!
She makes cloth
So skillfully woven
That they are expensive
Worth a lot when sold
Her hands never cease to work
They know no idleness
Only relentless energy
Her husband praises her
Her children could have no better mother
Although there are many fine women out there
She surpasses them all
She speaks wise words
And teaches others to do the same
She never wastes her time
‘Cos she knows that it is precious.
She watches over her family
Making sure everyone is well fed and happy
Then she opens her doors to the poor
A selfless act of kindness by an excellent entrepreneur
She is a compatible companion; a loyal friend
Her husband trusts her completely
With her, he has all he needs.
She does not harbour evil intentions
She does him good
For as long as she lives!
She maintains a standard of
Moral excellence and Good character
Clothed with Humility, Self worth and self confidence
Her Dignity is intact
She is beautiful and full of charm
She looks to the future with joy
Most importantly, She fears the Lord!© The poets voice~~~ June 2010, All rights reserved.

Thoughts...
So that everytime I sit, I wonder and I think
Let it be your words that I speak
‘cos my mind is a mess
But for your goodness
I know you can fix me next
Give me the words to say
To the people that come my way
As I go about today.
............................................................................................
This is a little prayer in the form of poetry. there are times when i really want to encourage someone but i don't have the right words. There are times when i feel that there's so much going on with me that i cannot even bring myself to talk to someone else about their own problems. This was just going through my head and i was thinking if God can just anoint my words so that rather than me struggling to find my own words, i'll speak His own words and they'll be perfect.....just the right therapy for someone's broken heart or worried mind e.t.c

Jesus died...that's love
to calvary
To save the rest
like you and me
That’s love
They hung him high
They stretched him wide
He hung his head
For me He died
That’s love
That’s not how
the story ends
‘Cos in three days
He rose again
That’s love
......................................................................................................
this is just a snippet from a love medley by God's chosen. The words ministered to me and It kinda summarises what Easter is about- The Love of Christ...
He went through so much for us while we were still sinners and so undeserving...His love knows no bounds.We can't even begin to comprehend it's depth!
