Upward

We play in the open field,
below the waters above and the clouds,
under the light of the sun, like children
without care, where no time is, and the days seem endless,
and the nights are covered with a blanket of stars.
We gaze upwards and dream of what can be as our love grows.

Shalam,
Zarach

Waiting

To wait for you
is not hard.
I know you will be there,
just like you said you would.
I'll wait right here for you.
I wont wander, or go nowhere, or fly away.
Your love is my motivation.
And my heart is tied to yours.
To wait for you is not hard.
Summer fades into winter, but I will be here waiting.

Shalam,
Zarach

Baby Girl

 

Who would have thought that you could have changed the world?

But that’s just what you did, when you made love your strongest quality.

Baby Girl

Poverty could not hold you back, lies couldn’t stop the true beauty that was in you from shining.

You made us feel rich when you dressed us, fed us, and told us, “Honey, you’re just as good, even better. The world just don’t know it yet. But you go on out there and show them.”

Baby Girl

You stand tall among all the women of the world.

Hair like God, like the pure wool, natural, (Dan. 7:9, Rev. 1:14)

Braided, pressed and styled,

Crowned with the stars of heaven.

Baby Girl

You are blessed among women.

You changed the world.

From you kings and princes come, even the king of kings.

Why, even God himself calls you Princess( Gen. 17:15,16).

Shalam,

Zarach

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now

 

I was once naïve.

I too thought the world was flat,

That all there was, was America.

She dominated my imagination from my youth.

Her stories of discovery, building new frontiers,

Conquerors, and great generals

Dazzled my mind.

I too was once naïve.

I believed this too was my home

Where I could roam,

Build, plant, any purse my every happiness.

I was once naïve.

But now my eyes were opened,

And now I know.

Oh, how the blue pill could have been my dream,

But I chose the red pill,

And the Metrix was exposed-

And now I see.

My blindness is gone.

The more I learned the more my sorrow increased.

Yet, I had hope, because He that opened my eyes had

Overcome the world.

And now, I too am an Overcomer.

John 16:33

Shalam,

Uprise

In the spirit
moving through the visible
and into the invisible
Entering the shadow of death,
where only a perpetual dusk exist
He opened my eye through the mist
around me was misery and all manner of horror
In the steep valley below the high mountain
many ten thousands gone
the hunter and all his prey
scattered people-
a diaspora
the hunter and his prey
Can he come up out of his grave?
God only knows.
Where is that good Spirit?
The one you told me about.
You remember? The one you said
would come, and cause my Uprising.

Revive us, in the midst of the years, O God, cause us to live again.
And in the time of trouble remember mercy.

Shalam,
Zarach
