Heavily Burdened

Every day i climb the same

mountain. Lord, allow me to rec-

ognise your never-ending mercy

which endures like a fountain.

I long to be sustained in righteous-

ness. But by far, I always miss the 

mark. It's like a task I can never 

accomplish.

When You said “it was finished,”

on the Cross, through repentance,

our sins were extinguished,

and we entered a new

beginning.

Don't allow us to be defined by

our flaws nor conditioned by

our inhibitions. Refine us each

day; so we can reflect Christ in

everything we do. 

Verse of the poem:

‭Psalms 121

1: I look up toward the mountains. Where can I find help?

2: My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.

3: He will not let you fall. Your guardian will not fall asleep.

4: Indeed, the Guardian of Israel never rests or sleeps.

5: The Lord is your guardian. The Lord is the shade over your right hand.

6: The sun will not beat down on you during the day, nor will the moon at

night.

7: The Lord guards you from every evil. He guards your life.

8: The Lord guards you as you come and go, now and forever.

Mirage

If you neglect truth,

you become tethered

to an inferior concept,

with effort to find reason 

to validate your intellect. 

You project your mind on 

others to find affirmation

but you remain confined

behind a supposition,

entering through the gate 

of fiction; leading to 

increasing confusion and 

delusion, until you become 

entangled by obscurity 

and contaminated by 

Impurity. You no longer see 

clearly. Your mind can't

discern or learn to escape

until you abandon the path

of independent reasoning.

Beyond The Stars

Never run from anxiety,

It will wait for you at the

door...ready for another 

opportunity to bring you 

to the floor. You need to 

face it until your time

comes to soar and fly 

through the storm. I know

it's easy to hide behind a 

facade, but that won't lead

you beyond the stars 

where you belong.
