Black silence creeping up on white
Helpless rendering of the night
Locust swarms desolating fields
Utter destruction of harvest yields
By the sword, famine and plague
A curse is called down like flake
In anger, wrath and jealousy
The husband pronounces adultery
What to say of his harsh judgement
That left naught an altar unturned
Of every thought, deed and attitude
He demands kingship altitude
To exile each abomination
Three generations' culmination
Of disobedience and non-compliance
The continuation of illicit dalliance
But great is he who banished
The multitude of sins vanished
Is anything too hard for him?
Doth he go out on a limb?
To save, deliver and heal
Every hurt and pain you feel
To gather those exiled to safety
Abandoning all worship of deity
A promise of restoration
To you who's in desperation
Redeemed and renamed as Beloved
More precious than gold, one doth covet
A reversal of fortunes, he bestow
With love, prosperity and peace in tow
A singleness of heart and action, he asks
To obey and follow him, he tasks
Can all darkness turn into light?
Can I be that light in the night?
Who's to stop the tainting of the white?
When doubts and questions assail the fight?
Alas, he watches by the side
His aide ever close by, reside
When you yield to his gentle voice
Come what may he'll make good your choice
So arise my love, my darling
Fear not sin's hold, unrelenting
For my grace will be enough
To keep and to hold you tough
Take on the impossible
Shrug off the implausible
Renounce the insidious curse
Its effects will be reversed
Go forth in abundant blessing
My promise to you in testing
Put on your rightful armour
The rest will burn in karma!
Inspired through the book of Jeremiah
 | hey girl... have you thought of writing music?? This is intense stuff!
- Jono |
 | Yeah.. like write for the orchestra! I feel cymbals and timpani arising.... a mash of strings.. WOHh.... subdued by the strong yet gentle breeze of a woodwind..
heh.. ;p |
 | ha ha.. intense huh... I found the 2 songs I wrote when I was a young girl lately, and can't imagine the intense pain and melancholy in me then. I don't think people can handle that kind of songs.. ha ha. maybe when things are more balanced out.. perhaps i'll write more encouraging songs! =)
and ads.. whoa.. you've got the feel, gal! you can be my arranger/producer next time, heh. |
| sometimes I wish I was more melancholy... wish I had gone thru more pain... i just cruise through a blessed life... and can't write poetry, have no songs of angst, just shallow happy thoughts...

 | heyhey... I can imagine Michael Card doing this in narration and singing with all the ochestration and effects! =D |
| I meant Carman, not Michael Card. Wonder why I type his name... =) |
| Shallow happy thoughts are blessed too, Jono! =) gosh, i can only take comfort in knowing that Jesus Himself suffered more than any of us and its in my suffering that I can identify with Him, even if its only for a fraction, and truly come to terms with how I can be alive each day without condemnation and live a life of destiny and purpose!
And Lynette, I admire your talent in photography :)
Phoonie, who's Michael Carmen??!! |
| Carmen? Opera Carmen? Italian? heh heh..
|
| no, not carmen opera!! Hmm... italian peotry reading for Adeline! haha... Carmen is a Christian artist who is really good with narrative songs... thought his voice will give the dramatic effect to the poem with rhythm and melody at parts! Uploaded 2 of his songs at my blog. They are the more upbeat ones but he does slower ones too... =) |
