Being heard

 



Feelings, emotions and threats of all sorts 

Can no one else hear my thoughts

They're running around in my mind

I'm doing mental gymnastics all the time


I can open my mouth that's easy to do 

But I cannot express anything to you 

It's painful, I just can't verbalise 

Thought processes of any size 


I'm not being difficult or strong willed

But to voice my thoughts I don't feel skilled

I often feel completely trapped

My life and energy are totally sapped


A friend draws near to me 

They noticed that I'm all sea

They sit with me and wait 

No searching questions which I hate


I sense acceptance and care from my friend
Not feelings of being condemned 
This gives me space to begin to explore
My thoughts, feelings and a lot more

I start slowly to speak out my thoughts 

My friend is there being a support

Thoughts that were going round and round 

I am now speaking them out loud 


It's very different to hear them out loud

They're not stuck in an imaginary cloud

I don't feel I'm in a mental fight

I now see there is a bit of light


This friend is so important to me

Their love and acceptance is plain to see

Will you be a friendly face  

Offering a person time and space

    Lovely poem Nick. Thanks for sharing Rob. The courage to share is often stymied by fear of rejection.. once that fear is overcome there is room to be authentic. Perfect love casts out all fear

All at Sea

  Hmm, its not happening and I am all at sea Why is it difficult especially for me It is not working out at all I feel as though I've hit a brick wall I cannot see the way ahead I don't feel positive, I might as well stay in bed! Its not working out as I thought I don't feel hope of any sort I have dreams, hopes and words from the past Where are they now , and will they ever last What is God saying to me And how should I act and be Dare to be open with God and a friend Be very real and don't pretend Release your heart cry and all emotions A change of heart will then be set in motion So lets go back to the foundational block Its says, The Lord is our rock This is a foundation that does not move Know this and your mind, soul and spirit will improve All God's promises are yes and amen They are permanent, forever , again and again So Declare God's promises every day Meditate on them and pray

Raindrops from heaven

Image
  The darkness was pierced with a sharp knife  As Light from heaven brought life Grey skies split open and the sun blazed through The landscape changed as the sky turned blue Everything changed within an instant The grey clouds and heaviness seemed distant Hopelessness and depression disappeared A shoot of hope began to appear Then coloured raindrops fell from above Magically full of redeeming love As raindrops touched people's skin Something supernatural started to begin The greyness of life was blown away Isolation, insecurity were cast away God's great love began to flow Life's colours began to grow And Now... All around there are people receiving  Open to The good news and believing Lives are changing and being transformed Their true identity is being formed

Flying high

Image
  My wings are open and ready to fly There is a call from above to fly high Here we go, my feet are off the ground  My wings are making a mighty sound Caution and waiting has been my stance Not leaving situations to chance Yet I know in my heart there is more To fly in the sky as an eagle and soar Excited and spreading my wings I fly into the air and begin to sing What amazing joy and fun As I go higher and higher towards the sun I'm sensing the thermals in the air And dart around with great flare I feel my wings are growing stronger  And now my journeys are longer The caution I had, has disappeared As I let go of things I've feared I release rubbish from the past Things that were never meant to last Our heavenly father is filled with joy Proudly saying "That's my Boy" He is always for me and loves my heart He wonderfully created me from the start
