random poem

[magicalweasal]

this is going to be, a rather random poem
as I haven't written in a while.
And it will probably make you smile

with laughter.

I went back today, looking for a poem
looking for a memory of what I've written before.
I found many old memories in poems I've written

from the days of yore.

I tagged the poems, you're welcome to read them
if you should so decide
I have to warn you before you see them

they encompass a great divide.

You see, I didn't also write things that were postive
or uplifting or glorifying to God.
I wrote about my feelings, attempting to bare my soul,

which, in my opinion, are rather odd.

But one day the Lord came to me
and changed my desire
and I started writing about many different things

my faith burned with a fire.

Now I don't write so much
and I really don't know why
I've grown in some areas

others have taken a slide.

I used to think that writing hardcore poems
would change people's lives
but I've often found that sharing an honest opinion

is quite unwise.

So I began to squelch my words
and practice biting my tongue
and strange as it is I often find myself

with no words at all.

I need to find a rawness to my faith,
practice speaking my mind
but words need to be seasoned with love

they need to be kind.

I see now that my words in the past
were really quite harsh
and I know that people were hurt by them

my love was rather sparse.

I hope now that things are different
I try to love through action
but sometimes my actions get misjudged.
