life recently

Well in this past year i've grown so much more in who i am in God and every thing but just recently iv just been pressing in way more. The diference is huge in my life, like i never use to just worship when ever would only do it on wed. and sun. but jsut a few days ago i decided "hey why not" so i tossed on some hillsongs and just worshiped, and guess what it was one of the most powerfull times of worship iv had in a Loong time, so if you just take the time to slow down in life and jsut have your moments wiht God and just listen to his voice, things just go better. With all the great friends and leaders all around me to help me grown in Christ has been such a blessing on my life as i reflect this last year, jason always speaking encouragement has been huge( thanks so much man) and friends like Sam and Matt and hte rest of the youth church leadership team, just want to say you guys are so amazing and i love every one of you.

So i wanna just encourage every one who reads this just take time to sit back and have your moments with God in the silence, cause in doing this iv discovered talents that i didnt even know were there as well as passions for worship and other things liek this so, i hope as you read this its encouraging and uplifting. :)

Worship

Sitting in awe of the presents of God
Praising his name, you sing
Talking to your father in heaven
In the troubles of your life there is reasurance

While in the stillness His voice is heard
Letting us know how he loves us
Knowing everything about us
Pouring out his love and pride over his children

His voice plucks our heart strings
Emotions run high, tears flow
Resting in the love of God
Holding you in his hands never letting go

Although we are singing to our almighty father
His confidence is good, he knows he is God
The praise is to him but for us
We are the ones that struggle, and need the love
So just sit back and let God love you and love him back

Machines

The disassembled apparatus sits in the corner
Requiring attention the parts rust
Not usefull anymore people walk by ignoreing it
Decommissioned, wires spread out on the floor

Once standing tall, magnificent
Serving people as if it loved them
Got out of control it was worshiped
Deus Ex Machina

One individual recognized how mistaken it was
He pilfered it, then dashed the head of this beast
Citizens in outrage, asphyxiated this boy
Idolization was over back to routine

Forgotten what had once been revered
Resting in a pool of bloody oil
The machines cold cadaver
Waiting to be fixed and brought back once again


(dues ex machina---latin for god from a machine)

Music

Melodic harmony surges through the air
Lyrical lamentations touch the abyss of your being
Sound so full of passion flows through your head

Irresistable reverberation
Silence is severed by this noise
Poetic expressions well up inside of you

Can't sit still or become stagnant
Cosumed but constant motion
Tranquility, relaxation
Resonant echo calms the nerves

Rhetoric can raise the dead
As long as you speak with ardor
Loathing is evicted from your heart
The Beauty of this music can heal all

....

Thoughts rush through the mind of the young
Emotion cluttererd all throughout your head
Never felt this way before
Not knowing what to do walking in blindly

Butterflies assult your stomache
Can't describe the way you feel
Thinking and smiling for eternity
Even speach seems hard to handle

Can't sleep, constant actions
Laying on your back looking into darkness
Contemplating what to do next, not knowing
Waiting was the best option, Decisions made
It will all work out

Paradise

Blistering heat calms the nerves
Laying in the presents of this utopia
Soft sand on your back as you bask in its glory

Golden streets lined with giant palms
Coudn't be more magnificent
Blue sky, clean atmosphere

Peering down apon yourself realizing
That heaven was closer than anticipated
Seeing your self laying there in the filth
While siting by your fathers side

The leper

Diseased flesh hangs off the bones,
Desecrated is their life,
Hope disintegrated, conscience depleted.

Shunned from population,
Even his own kind banish the living corpse,
Screams are heard as people run in fear.

Synapses fail, thinking ceases
Wretched looking cadaver,
Breathing is no longer an option,
Crumpled to the floor, his dream acheived

Fireworks

Glowing stars penetrate the darkness
Silence is ruptured as explosions sound
Overwhelmingly beautiful array of light
Shadows are removed from the vicinity

Gloomy clouds of gunpowder hang overhead
Nostrils are filled with the wretched odor
Yet eyes are still immovable from the display above
Cheers seem to be whispers alongside the explosions

Animals whimper and whine at the sound
Not knowing what is taking place
Allthough its a celebration
They sit in fear, dreading what will happen next

Silence is returned unscathed
Darkness creeps back to every corner
All that is left is the stars up in the expance of space
Which are now shunned from the onlookers
Since the show is over they scurry away

Tofino morning

Gloomy mist hangs over head,
Haunting, not showing the unknown
Surrounding, collapsing over the bodies
Constricting, all the senses

Seeking out what you think is there
Walking over the sand, stepping on every grain
Accustomed to the sensation of being walked on
Damp from the constant cloud around you

Crashing, prowling, the waves seek the prey
Chasing after inocent victims
Once again the Wave is conquered
Sulking back into the depths of the mysterious darkness

Wind blows away the constricting mist
Clarity is acheived, cheers are uttered
As conceited fools we boast
Tripping over our victories, we fall

Plants life (the poem that started it all)

The Burning inferno, the source of light
Ostracized it seems out in the vast expance
Yet it still gives us warmth,
until the clouds steal it away.

Plants cry out in anguish, a straining plee
They live no more the source of life is hidden
Posture is slumped breath gone, sustinance depleted

Straining to escape the dark, the light fights
Prevailing, the misty presents is ripped out of exsistance
Blinding all that seek it, shadowing all that cringe

Gasping the plants sits up, it's plee answered
Anguish extinguished, breathing deep
Relaxing, as the foot falls on to its small life
Snuffing out what once was.
