I decided to share one of my many poems on here. I haven’t written one in a while and will probably start writing poems again in the months to come. Let me know what you think, okay?
T-JUNCTION
(copyright 2009 S.S. Schreüder)
What more can I ask?
You have given me LIFE.
Zestfully I pursue this DESTINY…
Never thought that this place would reveal itself.
Thoughts of You loom large in my head.
Mucho papers infiltrate my spirit…
I constantly CHANGE on this JOURNEY.
My eyes gaze upon many things,
My FOCUS now moves to what I yen for…
To what You embedded in this core.
My thoughts are on what lies down the road.
I hear the sound of parchment fluttering…
VISIONS overtake me now!
MULTIPLICATION follows me!
DECISIONS I make.
Oh how the Light warms my face!
My feet pound as I run towards
That coveted place!
Under my feet I feel Strength,
Under my feet I feel Peace;
As I run upon You my Rock!
I hold Your hand
And as a deer,
I pant with a thirst driving me
Beyond mediocrity!
Fear plucks me back to the T-junction,
A violent assault against my FAITH!
I will not endure this anymore!!!!
My spirit cries: “I am willing to DIE for THIS, Lord!”
I will not give up!
I will beat to ashes every box!
I will exalt You above the enemy!
To be continued…

Thank you so much Jessica 🙂 I wonder, do you think it would be good if I explained the poems in more depth, or should it I keep short and sweet as is?

For me it’s like seeing into the soul. Feeling every word like a wave crashing down and soaking me to the very core. It might be good for people to read where that poem came from, what experience lead you to such an expression of self, though I would hope your words would inspire a conversation on the subject line of your poem.

Thank you for your input Jessica. I guess a short paragraph about the poem would be appropriate.

A poem written for anyone who has an addiction and is trying hard to break it –
There are two days in every week
About which we should not worry
Two days
That should be kept free from fear and apprehension
One is yesterday with all its mistakes and cares
Is faults and blunders, its aches and pains
Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control
We cannot undo a single act we performed or erase a single word we said
Yesterday is gone forever
Then there is tomorrow
With all its possibilities, it’s adversities, its burdens, its rewards
Tomorrow’s sun will rise
Either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds
But it will rise
Until it does, we have no stake in tomorrow
For it has yet to be born
That leaves today
Anyone can fight the battle of just one day
It’s when you add the burdens of yesterday and tomorrow
That you break down
It’s not the experience of today that drives a person mad
It’s the remorse or bitterness of something that happened yesterday
And the dread of what tomorrow might bring
Therefore, it only makes sense
For peace of mind and hope
Live simply one day at a time
Live today!
(Thought I’d share one of mine with you)
