I Am Meant

My heart has a pulse
My lungs full of air
I'm reminded of life
And that you're not here

I've done all the rights
I've committed the wrongs
I've prayed for my sight
I've sung all your songs

But the vacancy persists
The pain without a name
You promise the filling
But I still feel the same

I've questioned all your words
I've loathed my own
I've embraced the hurt
My faults all along

Relief you do not promise
Are my prayers in vain?
You promise Your presence
And to fulfill Your ways

My heart continues beating
My lungs, empty and fill
Reminding me of life
And that I've always been Your will.

My first poem

So I found this poem that I wrote when I was 13. It was my very first one!

Fading Beauty

Oh how the years have gone by.

Hence, first looking at the world with innocent eyes not yet wounded  by the painful scars that are to come.

Oh how the years have gone by

Flipping through the transparent photos that were so vacant yet now are everything that I hold dear,

Oh how the years have gone by

Sitting absentminded toward spiritual values, instead taking on the world's standards of immorality

Oh how long will the years go by

Until beauty fades and the earth's marvels turn to dust, until the intelect of  human beings is taken advantage of

Oh how long,......

How long will we trust it

So my first thought when I read this.... Geez Keely.... take a chill pill!

Second thought.... how many years have really gone by for you?!?..... 13!

Third..... wow! HA

The Two Become One

I know I'm prone to darkness
But was made for the light
Know I'm prone to breaking
To losing the fight

It's in my faults I find You
When I'm brought to my knees
It's in the versus of my vice
That grace is made complete

It's the emptiness that fills
And parts that make a whole
It's You inside of me
That's when I find my home

My heart was made for You
Created out of Yours
There is nothing that could separate
Like the sea and the shore.
