Hope you all enjoy!
All of the Pieces
All of my pieces I’d scattered o’er
The cracks in the surface of my stone heart floor
All of my days were lost so empty
Then You came and picked up the pieces of meAll of these pieces I wish would fit
That something would let up for a little bit
Yet in every day I must trust You
To put pieces in place, see this puzzle throughAll of these things I should leave with You
Because You see it all, the best point of view
Every piece You know where is goes
You saw how they connect before time arose
I should leave in the hands of Him Who can see
All of the pieces of meAll of the pieces I see around
They fit well into other lives, safe and sound
In the moment my wish in
Their pieces were part of my puzzling lifeAll of their pieces I force to fit
They bend and break apart and sometimes they split
All of theirs may never fit in mine
You never mix up pieces. All in time align.Even though I may never know
Where You worked, where all my pieces go
All of the pieces I can’t see
All of the segments of my destiny
I should leave in the hands of Him Who can see
All of the pieces of mePsalm 119:11
Your word I have hidden in my heart,
That I might not sin against You.February 24, 2021 at 1:46 pm #125245Dakota

Don’t really know what to say about this one. Any and all critiques welcome!
My Morning Song (What you will say to me)
The sunlight is dawning
And though I am still yawning
I will say ‘Good Morning’
And open my ears to hear
What You will say to meThe sun climbing higher
Ringed by gold, amethyst and fire
As I sing hallelu
And extol Your name to honor YouUnto the hills so high
Bathed in light from the golden sky
To You I’ll lift my eyes
And put all of my life into Your handsThe sunlight is dawning
And though I am still yawning
I will say ‘Good Morning’
And open my ears to hear
What You will say to meOpening up Your Word
Is the only way for Your voice to be heard
To start this day off well
I must gather truth and never sellYour words are pure and clear
Every humble prayer You’ll hear
So I will humble me
And open my eyes to truly seeSo I’ll quiet the hour
So my life isn’t turned sour
I will say ‘Good Morning’
And quiet the hour to hear
What You’ll say to me
Before I go about
All the daily routine and route
I’ll stay upon my knees
Long enough to lift my heart’s pleasHelp me quiet the hour
So my life isn’t turned sour
I will say ‘Good Morning’
And quiet the hour to hear
What You’ll say to mePsalm 119:11

@libby@dakota I love this <3 I’ve been really feeling what you wrote in My Morning Song, especially of late. It was so refreshing to read and quieted my soul : ) Thank you for sharing, my friend. I hope you’re doing well!

Okay, I guess I’ll post in this thread when I remeber too! LOL.
Here is my latest poem. Critique and enjoy!
True North
It seems that all the world has lost it’s directions
All sorts of excuses, all kinds of protections
Against the True North
And here I am, lost in all this confusing chaos
In the questions whirled, in a tempest toss’dIs all they like out there confusion in dense fog?
Through muddy and dark sidetracks and switchbacks slog
Where is a compass?
I want to know where I am going on this road
Am I on the narrow path to my abode?
Where is a compass?There is a True North
The never-changing absolute instruction
The go-to, no substitute direction
There is a North Star
For them all both the great and the small
The Right Path to take, and that’s all
All that I will need
My only True NorthOn Earth there are really only two ways up above
In search for destiny, quest for lasting love
Searching for a home
The One ends in eternal glory with the Son
The others in punishment for what we’ve doneTo ride that highway that is wide most are hasty
The faithful, those who take this road are in safety
They have a Guide
Those riding the way that is wide endanger
The Wrath of the King, be to Him like a stranger
Without a GuideChrist is a True North
The never-changing absolute instruction
The go-to, no substitute direction
Christ is a North Star
For them all both the great and the small
The Right Path to take, and that’s all
All that I will need
My only True NorthChrist is my True North
Confusion reigns, but He is my only guide
To land me safely on the other side
Christ is my North Star
I’ll navigate this insanity
With His help arrive at His city
All that I will need
My Only Truth NorthPsalm 119:11
Your word I have hidden in my heart,
That I might not sin against You. -
