Hold On, to Me!

If the darkness is overwhelming, and your heart is afraid. Reach out your heart, hold on to my love. When the water won’t recede, and the waves of emotion, are crashing against your faith. When your heart, feels like you’re suffocating. Don’t let go, don’t ever stop believing. My heart, will be an anchor, hold on to me. When your heart is on fire, and your love can’t breathe. My heart, will walk through the fire, to show you. Beauty, can come out of the ashes. I will help you, spread your wings, and rise like a eagle. If you’re feeling lost, and your hope can’t be found. My love, will come find you, and take you by the heart. If the walls are closing in, and you can’t escape your fears. My heart, will be a shelter waiting, with an open door. Run into warmth, of my love. If your heart is broken, and your peace seems scattered. My love will be there, to help pick up the pieces. When the burdens, are weighing on your heart. My love, will help bear the weight, lean on me. Whenever, you feel all alone, feel like your heart is drowning, in hopelessness. Hold on to me, there is, a lifeline!

The Relentless Chase!

How, can a heart truly explain, a chase unexplainable? Breathless, the chase leaves the soul panting, needing, trying, waiting, to exhale, catch your breath. Ready, set, go, oh; the chase, endless. Words, don’t escape my heart, can’t evade my thoughts. Even when, my soul hid in a deep river. In the silence, I held my breath, but my heart, gave me away. Every day, the moment I woke; the relentless pursuit, to take another breath. In the deepest water, there’s an ocean. Seeking to attain, with no refrain; what the chase became. And even when, I gave what I was willing. My heart, couldn’t understand, why; the chase, wasn’t over? So, my heart kept racing, love kept chasing. The breadth was felt, the chase revealed; true love, requires your whole heart. For nothing to be missing, nothing to be broken!

Even, when I laid my heart down, my soul resting in a quiet place. In the stillness, my heart couldn’t resist the persistent charm, of love’s endearing presence, hovering in the shadows. What’s a heart to do, when love quickens your spirit, awakens your heart, finds you in your dreams? You wake up, chase after words, take every thought captive. Before they get lost, or drift off, into another day’s-dream. Heartfelt expressions of love, can never hidden behind, love’s transparent veil. Love, I see You, chasing away my fears, with the morning light. I feel you breathing, in the fire inside. Hear you whispering, my heart will become yours. I see you moving, to catch the falling tears, the love saying; I got you. In every moment, in every season; I feel the love, chasing. Distance, overcomes the miles. Moving me, closer to the inevitability. With every breath, I Am; my love becoming Able, a soul offered up, in reverence. In the giving, the taking; the surrender. In the darkest nights, a heart exposed, bares love’s eternal flame. Everything, is changing now, the chase a man, after Your heart. A heart yearning, can never evade, love’s relentless chase. For, it leaves the heart and soul, breathless!

How Sweet it is!

Love drops on roses, a heart laying breathless, within the sweet fragrance, love’s scented meadow. How sweet it is, to be moved by the sweetest lullaby. Love, resting deep within your peace. Love is, a song in the night, for your soul to sing. The angelic melody, sweetly holding you. How sweet it is, to taste, to see, to feel the goodness. Face to face, how love is seen. Heart to heart, how love is expressed, forevermore. The measure of a divine love, deepens the measure of the heart. Lengthens the breadth, in your soul. Heightens the perception, to know what it is, to encounter the sweetest love. The closing of the eyes, the opening up of the heart. To know the depth, in love’s crimson hue. Within the stories told, love captured in the pages of the heart, what words won’t convey. How profoundly sweet it is, to be loved… true. Though, the world can be cold sometimes, the warmth of love is deeply felt, by casting the desires of the soul, on love’s eternal flame. How sweet it is, knowing this heart of mine, wrapped up forever, in love’s embrace. Give to love, every harvest, heart and soul. The more passion sown, sweeter becomes the essence, within. In every season, the richness love creates, what changes everything. Love, the creation in me, to let the deep seeded words within, becomes a love set free, to be. How delightful it is, to know the most tasteful fruit, is love? The reign, my confessions of love, the truth within, my emboldened words. HOW SWEET IT IS, TO BE A HEART, NOT ASHAMED TO EXPRESS; HOW I LOVE. For, How Sweet it is, to be loved, by You!

The Anchor Holds!

In the journey, through the darkness. Though, your heart is taking on water, and the rain begins to fall. Steading your resolve, will be the wind at your back. In the open sea, faith alone. Sees that in every season, there’s a new horizon, where hope resides. Sight, will never get you there, you have to believe. Ships, pass through the night, still know how to navigate, the waves of emotions. Your soul battered, sails torn. Doesn’t mean, it’s not a heart tethered, to a love that anchors. Though, the rudder wavers, while facing the raging Sees, let your belief be strengthened, your heart will get through it. Even, if your heart is desperately trying to repair, the holes withn your faith. Your soul can still, finds tranquility in knowing. Love doesn’t bow, to the pressure’s of life. Watered down love, dilutes the texture of a heart. Deep, thoughts of love, an endless river flowing, with a nuanced perspective. Moments, we hold them in our heart, embraced them within our soul. True love, doesn’t need to walk on water, for the breadth to be profound. Love searches the heart, to fathom the deep things therein. In spite of the storms we face, regardless of how overwhelming what we see, it’s turning around. The tears that flood, will surely recede, your heart won’t be swept away. Look within, know love will be the anchor, that holds… you, in the middle of the ocean!

I See!

I see, you are the sun, you are the moon, you are in the starlight. You are the gravity, that moves me. You are the wind, you are my wings, you make me free. You are the ocean, you are my silent river. You are the depth, you are the breadth, in me. You are my breath, you are my heart, you are my soul, you make me whole. You make my heart swell, you give my soul, a story to tell. You are, the light in me, you enlighten me, into me you see. You are, in the words I write. You are, the silence I speaks, you’re the voice in me. At my best, you see me. At my worst, you won’t leave me. You are the sway, you are the way; to the straight and narrow. In every season, in every victory; you are the reason, I know my worth. In the subtlety, in the beauty, in every horizon. In everything, in my forever; I see, Love!

By Design; Acoustic Love!

Love, strumming on your heart, the melody, echoing resoundingly, in your soul. Love’s symphonic rhythm, tugging on heartstrings, breathlessly like a symphony. The simplicity, the range, the breadth; limitless. Love is, like a beautiful instrumental ballad, sweetly holding you, slow dancing with your heart. Like a deep river, love’s depth drowns your sorrows, in the breathtaking bliss. A heart, lost within the sweet sound of love. Your thoughts, on anything else, but the acoustics. Music to your heart, food for your soul; that’s what love is. A heart saying; let the music play, so the feeling won’t get away. Music to my heart, food for your soul; that’s what love is. Your every heartbeat, transcending acoustically; time and space. In the leveling, the knowing, the being… content. Love, doesn’t require amplification, for there be relativization. Love, has a distinct sound, preceding the move, with a heightened clarity. Even though, a heart can sometimes play the fool. A love finely tuned, sings in harmony. The heart making ready, for the soul to reverberate, what words proclaim. Love is a song, an acoustic portrayal reframed, the expression reformed. So the story can reveal, this is my, endless love!

Hi everyone, as I mentioned a few months ago. My late daughter, took graphic design in college, but wasn’t able to pursue it fully. So, I’m going to live her dream, through my created designs, a poem to go with it, and post them in memory of her. Justinea Angelina Richards, March 9, 1990 to March 2, 2021. I was hoping to post last month, so this is the first one. Hope you enjoy it! Blessings!

Lean on Me!

When you’re not strong enough, when your faith is failing, when hope seems lost; lean on my heart. I will faithfully, lift you up in prayer. Bring your heart, to the foot of the cross. Sometimes, I’m not always strong, so I lean. Love, will help you fight the battles, helps you carry the weight. A helping hand, something to lean on, that’s what love is. Love listens, when your heart needs to be heard. When you need a friend, love shows up, with compassion. Love, doesn’t have to be brave, just be endearing. When life, brings your pain, when the tears fall, let love wipe your fears. When a diagnosis comes, knocking at your heart, trying to steal your breath? Just breathe, love is there, in the shadows; hold out your heart. Peace through strength, love will defend your worth. Press into the heart of love, let the warmth be felt. Love doesn’t need words, to be resounding. My friends, if you’re ever in need, of a love to lean on, my heart is available. Lean on Me, and together we will lean, against the Father’s heart!

“Are you weary, carrying a heavy burden? Come to me. I will refresh your life, for I am your oasis. Simply join your life with mine. Learn my ways, and you’ll discover that I’m gentle, humble, easy to please. You will find refreshment and rest in me.” Matthew 11:28-29 TPT

My Quiet Place!

My silent river, speaks. When love calls, I leave my comfort zone. To engage, to encounter, to encourage. With compassion, with passion, with delight, I relish the engagement. Let my heart be, let resiliency persuade. Being in the moment, giving in love your all. The heart says, what words alone won’t convey, love holds my attention. For when, the moment has served its due diligence. My heartbeat, returns to its resting place; fifty three, beats per minute. To relinquish my thoughts, I take my heart, to my quiet place. Not to withdraw, but make ready my heart. Being engaged, genuine love, comes from the willingness, to give of yourself. When my, love gets weary, from battling the day. I take a step back, into the quietness. To rest my heart, center my soul, gain a new perspective. So, I’m never taken back, by what love demands of you, be a faithful heart. No one, can ever take, the love freely given. True love, has a quiet beauty, a distinguishable fragrance. To be seen, for your heart be heard; the love has to be, intentional. Trying to do, what love requires of your heart; being resolute, the love absolute. For me, and my heart; when it’s said and done. I retreat, to my secret place. To replenish, fill up my heart and soul, with what every encounter requires, love unconditional!
