Mayflower's Poetry/stories

[Mayflower]

You pour your love on me
I am humbled and amazed
You turned a sinner into a saint
You turned a prodigal daughter into a warrior

You set the captives free
You awaken my soul
You transform me from the inside out

I pour my love on you
I lift my hands up in praise to the God of the universe
I sing with joy to my God and my salvation

You took away my fear, and in its place, You replaced it with Perfect love.

-------

Whereever I go in life, You are there
You guide my every decision
You give me wisdom
You take away my fear.
I am grateful for who You are
You are the Great I am
My Maker, my Saviour, my redeemer, my friend

-------

 

[Mayflower]

If my dreams all end tomorrow,
I hope that I would see,
Everything my Lord done
He has been so good to me

I would want to run to the Father's arms
I would want to rest in Him
I would want to remind myself of His transforming graces outside and within.

Never would would I want to leave Him
I know He would never leave me
He said nothing can seperate me from His love, for all eternity

No. Not height, nor depth, nor any other created thing...could seperate ME from loving HIM.

Whatever test, whatever trial, I hope I pass
Id feel so bad if I denied Him three times
Id cry and not want to look myself in the mirror

But no, I would say not

Because if my dreams ended tomorrow
This one thing is true
Everything can be taken with sorrow
But God, I will still and always love You

 

[Mayflower]

Goodbye pain
Goodbye tears
Goodbye nights of anguish fears.
Goodbye heavy burden
Goodbye bitterness
Goodbye unforgiveness
Hello joy
Hello grace
Hello hope in finishing this race
Hello arms of unfailing love
Hello new life from the Father above
Hello forgiveness
Hello peace
Hello rest
Hello Jesus
Hello to your loving arms
Your nail pierced hands protect me
from every harm
You dry my tears
You calm my fears
The once broken heart inside me cheers
You pick me up and call me daughter
Im parched and thirsty but You are the living water

December 2017

I put up the Christmas tree
Lights first
Then garland
Ornaments
Icecycles
Presents
Gingerbread houses
Manger scenes

Inside me cries
Mess inside

Sing Christmas Carols
Candy canes
Christmas cards

My anxiety goes up and down
Confusion

I see the tree
It makes me happy

It makes me sad
It makes me anxious

It makes me feel warm inside
I see the snow
I see it glistening in the sun

I feel the cold
I feel its bitterness on my skin

Come back soon Lord
Rescue me from my anguish
Rescue me from my anxieties

Let me be completely happy with You

No more depression
No more anxiety
No more urges of self injury

Just a tree
And lights
And garland
And ornaments
And glistening snow...
A manger scene
A rejoicing heart

 

[Mayflower]

Haikus and the like:

Gentle dove flew down
Holy Spirit moves me now
Rushing Rivers flow

-------

Thank God for seconds
Second chances or helpings
I take either or

-----
I am in the light
No longer do I fear dark
Darkness bows to light

------

Salvation gifted
Religion is a nice box
I am open now

------

I drift on a raft
There is no land in my sight
I see land and smile

------

The sun is on me
The Father's Son forgave me
I am radiant

------

Marriage gown is white
It is lace and delicate
I am loved and pure

-----

Hopefully Spring comes
The Winter ice slowly melts
New Life is Reborn

----

Anger is a storm
An untamed tongue can murder
Words of Life bring life

-----

I swim up for air
I am breaking through the ice
No more fear, just faith

 

[Mayflower]

A man gains wisdom
He listens to those around
Most are quick to speak

------

The brokenheart waits
The Comforter will comfort
The hurting are healed

------

Praise God for His Love
His hand is open to all
Thank Him for His peace

-----

Time is infinite
Time is redeemed or wasted
Time stops for no one

------

God's finger brought art
The cross portrays guilt and joy
The tomb is empty

 

[Mayflower]

Choices do matter
How one thinks is how one lives
Choose life over death

------

Regret is summer
Summer heat can burn the skin
Regret burns the heart

----

Healing is the Fall
Colored leaves fall to the ground
I fall to the ground

-----

Victory is Spring
New life brings restoration
Lillies grow in Spring

-----

Holy Spirit speaks
The faithful listen to Him
The wind blows gently

-----

The hour is fast
Seconds tick by on the clock
The King is Coming

-----

Words bring life or death
Power of the tongue is great
Listening matters

 

[Mayflower]

Silence can be hard
Talking is very easy
Silence takes much strength

-----

Nothing is greater
I can live in God's presence
I sing of His love

------

God is majestic
Everything He says happens
He reigns forever

-----

Holy Spirit lives
I am completely amazed
He empowers me

----

Summer is no more
Fall and Winter are ending
Spring is only left

-----

Religion has walls
It is technicality
Love breaks barriers

----

Jesus Christ healed me
He takes all my doubt away
Sickness leaves fully

 

[Mayflower]

Poetry is fun
Lines can be deep or funny
People are the same

----

My life has seasons
My theology was off
My life is changed now

----


When I write, I rain
My thoughts pour down on paper
My faith is released

-----

I write what I want
I am like my cat on my chair
She has her own rules

-----

I am in the light
No longer do I fear dark
Darkness bows to light

 

[Mayflower]

My redeemer lives
He is working in my life
He teaches daily

-----

It is frustrating
I have growth but over time
Take me deeper now

----

Take me deeper now
I want knowledge past my years
Breathe in me wisdom

------

Breathe in me wisdom
I want to grow closer now
I want to serve You

-----

I want to serve You
Big ways, small ways, I love You
You have saved my life

----

You have saved my life
My life and spirit are yours
Your love gives me life

 

[Mayflower]

A new me has been born
A part of me has exploded out
She is praising the name of the Lord
She is praising Him for His goodness
The praise awakens my spirit
The boldness flows within me
Christ reigns in my body
I am safe
I am redeemed
I am alive
Nothing can quiet me now
Thankfulness pours out to God
I am satisfied
My soul is being renewed daily
Storms come
I have peace of mind
The Worshipper has been awakened in me
My entire being cries Holy to the Lord God Almighty God
He is Jehovah Nissi
The Lord is my Banner
He goes with me in battle
I sing and lift up His Name
Darkness flees
Beware to the enemy
The worshipper has awaken
Her power is in her praise
