Shalom in the Name of Yah and His wonderful Messiah,
i've been thinking for the last couple of weeks that this place needs a specific outlet for those here who pour their hearts out with pen and ink, to the edification of us all. and after seeing some recent posts on the Scripture forum, my thoughts have been confirmed.
so here is the place to post your poetry to Yah, your praise and struggles that have helped you through difficult times, and remind you where you have come from as well as what blessings you are headed toward, being led down the path of Torah by His Spirit to the Kingdom made manifest.
so feel free to add edification to the brothers and sisters!
here is one of my own to kick it off:
Adoption
A longing birthed deep inside my soul
For a Home at last to call my own.
A Place where righteousness is in control,
Where peace dwells within my very bone.
A Palace bricked with adoring praise
Unto a Father we have yet to see.
A Tabernacle to an amazing grace
That turned our hearts to love and set us free.
A Tent where we can fellowship
In a homecoming so long awaited for.
A rest at last from this toilsome trip;
An end to this self-inflicted civil war.
A Sanctuary in the midst of time
Touching the portals of the infinite.
A Kingdom laid with worship sublime
By a love unsearchable but intimate.
A relationship bound by covenant
To a unity that cannot be undone.
A meeting of our every need and want,
Adopted into the Person of the Son.

</font> Burning One, I think this is a wonderful idea! Your poem was beautiful, it is one of the best I've read and I am going to write it in my notebook. I'm not much of a poet myself but I do find it edifying! I made an analogy of the pen being like a tongue or two edged sword in a letter recently. Here is a poem I like: Reality of Life Life isn't just full of happiness, It's sunsets, it's love, it's tears. It's the thoughts of yesterday's memories, That can wash away all out fears. It's that very painful experience, That each one of us has had. It's the laughter that fills the air, It's the tears when you are sad. It's loving that someone special, That at one time made you smile. It's the pain of losing that person, But the memories that make it worthwhile. It's that child in every one of us, Although in time we'll all be old. It's the good times we'll never forget, It's the memories we'll always hold. It's the hug that we all need, When we'd rather drown in our sorrow. It's the hope in every one of us, That makes us hold on for tomorrow.Copyright ｩ By Stephanie Clark One of AdoniYah's fav verses is: Mat 6:34 泥o not, then, worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow shall have its own worries. Each day has enough evil of itself. He even had it as a website address at one time. [This message has been edited by naesimo (edited 11-05-2007).]

One of AdoniYah's fav verses is: Mat 6:34 泥o not, then, worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow shall have its own worries. Each day has enough evil of itself.
Naesimo, that is one of my favorite verses of scripture, probably because in the Old English KJV, it was the first to stick in my mind as a poetic example of pure truth.
KJV: Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

What Matt 6:34 is saying is don't "worry" about tomorrow or is it saying don't even think about tomorrow at all? It is very poetic. Shalom, Naesimo

Hos 2:16 And it shall be at that day, saith YHWH, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.
17 For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
18 And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.
19 And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.
20 I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know YHWH.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith YHWH, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;
22 And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.
23 And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my Elohim.
Shalom all
YHWH gave me the song and melody in my heart after reading the passage above. I cannot write music, so I share this is a poem. May the words bless and inspire you as they do me! All praise to YHWH.
Our Betrothal
Here I stand, YOou pledge to me your troth
We are finally together,
One spirit, one breath
Your love is flowing within me
And Your love I return to you
....I pledge to be faithful forever,
To YOUR righteousness and judgments,
Your lovingkindess and mercy
I am Yours YHWH!
For you took me to You forever as YOU said YOU would,
You betrothed me in Your faithfulness
Your righteousness is who I am
Your judgments stand forever
I'm cleansed by YOUR mercy
You made Yourself known to me.
Heaven and earth stands as a witness this day,
The whole earth shouts Your glory!
And I? ....
....I pledge to be faithful forever,
To Your righteousness and judgments,
Your lovingkindness and mercy
I am Yours YHWH
Words and melody--YHWH
Blessings,
Tamar

Shalom Burning One,
We will post more as they are revealed to her. She sometimes has them floating around in her head for days at a time, before they "congeal" into a full fledged poem.
She is blessed to have such talent bestowed on her. We give all praise to our Father! PRAISE YAHUAH!
Take care,
angeL and story

I really enjoyed reading everyone's poetry, my notebook is going to be full sooner than I thought! Shield of David said: <font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Occult means secret things. Often reproaches of things cause us to discount all things that may appear related. The satanic occult is meaning the secret things of satan. Satan does not have a lock on "secret things." In fact, YHWH is the creator of all things, revealed visibly, or unseen and secret.</font> This is dedicated to Messiah: Title: On Fire lyrics Artist: Switchfoot They tell you where you need to go Tell you when you値l need to leave Tell you what you need to know Tell you who you need to be But everything inside you knows There's more than what you致e heard There's So much more than empty conversations Filled with empty words Chorus: And you池e on fire When He痴 near you You池e on fire When He speaks You池e on fire Burning hot at these mysteries Give me one more time around Give me one more chance to see yeah Give me everything You are Give me one more chance to be... (near You) When everything inside me looks like Everything I hate You are the hope I have for change You are the only chance I値l take Chorus: When I知 on fire When You池e near me I知 on fire When You speak And I知 on fire Burning hot at these mysteries These mysteries... mysteries mysteries You're on fire You're on fire You're on fire I知 standing on the edge of me (x3) I知 standing on the edge I知 standing on the of everything I've never been before I知 standing on the edge I知 standing on the edge Chorus: And I知 on fire When You池e near me I知 on fire When You speak (yeah) I知 on fire Burning hot at these mysteries...

Title: The Beautiful Letdown lyrics
Artist: Switchfoot
I think this is a great song about how we don't belong to the "world" anymore since we are in Messiah Yahshua!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was a beautiful letdown
When I crashed and burned
When I found myself alone
Unknown and hurt
It was a beautiful letdown
The day I knew
That all the riches this world had to offer me
Would never do
In a world full of bitter pain
And bitter doubts
I was trying so hard to fit in
Fit in, until I found out
I don't belong here (I don't belong) *AHEM*...that is "the world" FYI
I don't belong here (I don't belong)
I will carry a cross and a song
Where I don't belong
I don't belong
It was a beautiful letdown
When You found me here
Yeah, for once in a rare blue moon
I see everything clear
I'll be a beautiful letdown
That's what I'll forever be
And though it may cost my soul
I'll sing for free
We're still chasing our tails
In the rising sun
In our dark water planet still spinning
In a direction no one wins
No one's won.
See, I don't belong here (I don't belong)
Well, I don't belong here, I don't belong
I will carry a cross
With a song where I don't belong
I don't belong
I don't belong here (I don't belong)
No, I don't belong here, I don't belong
I'm gonna set side
And set sail
For the kingdom come, kingdom come
Your kingdom come
Won't you let me down, yeah
Let my foolish pride forever let me down
Ah, Easy living, you're not much like the name
Easy dying, you look just about the same
Would you please take me off your list
Easy living please c'mon and let me down
We are a beautiful letdown
Painfully unkewl
The church of the dropouts
The losers, the sinners, the failures, and the fools
What a beautiful letdown
Are we salt in the wound?
Hey, let us sing one true tune!
YEAH!
I don't belong here (I don't belong)
It feels like I don't belong here, yeah yeah
It goes like I don't belong here
I don't belong (I don't belong)
Won't you let me down (I don't belong)
C'mon and let me down (I don't belong)
You always let me down (I don't belong)
So glad that I'm let down (I don't belong)
C'mon and let me down (I don't belong)
'Cause I don't belong here
Won't you let me down!
Ain't it AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

SWITCHFOOT LYRICS
"Meant To Live"
Fumbling his confidence
And wondering why the world has passed him by
Hoping that he's bent for more than arguments
And failed attempts to fly, fly
[Chorus]
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Dreaming about Providence
And whether mice or men have second tries
Maybe we've been livin' with our eyes half open?
Maybe we're bent and broken, broken?
[Chorus]
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than the wars of our fathers
And everything inside............
screams for second life, yyyyyeeeeaaaahhhhh!
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live!
We were meant to live!
