Welcome to Gaia! ::

Thanks for that! As I read the last line I smiled cause it's so true! And I know that I keep saying "it's so true" but it's true that they're true! That's what makes them all so great! 3nodding

Just a little something I wrote....

Valentine

Beyond the Rim of Starlight, outside the world that seems,
Rests a Captain and His sailors, a Dreamer and His dreams.
A sunset burns the blazing sky, and dusk shall turn to night.
In the darkness, in the silence, there is Love, unchanging Light.

In all holy majesty, the Prince of Peace does stand.
A day shall come when every knee shall bow at His command.
Yet I come and He is waiting... Oh, the joy that fills my heart!
For we are one, and I from Him do never wish to part.

Perfection held in timeless hands, sheer beauty in a smile.
All glory, honor, be to Him, the Love none can defile.
One summer night below the stars He gave to me His name--
My own to keep, to cherish, when His child I became.

That act, the gift of love my Savior gave for me
He offers to the world-- you have only to believe.
He calls me His beloved, and I know that He is mine,
And He shall ever, always, be my Lord, my Valentine.

Reflections in a Silver Glass

Precious memory preserved in fire
The void beyond so faintly glowing.
More secret still than marsh and mire,
This memory preserved in fire,
So far from planet winds, still blowing.
Come, solar flares, across the sky.
From star is born a sacred flame
And truth of world becomes a lie
For solar flares across the sky
Cannot heal the broken lame.

Burn, O star in blackest space
Beyond dappled clouds of planet land.
Light streams through dark and endless waste
From the star in blackest space
To then be held in small child's hands.
A true mystery from dawn of time
Trapped in poem, tamed in song,
Reflected in a timeless rhyme.
True mysteries from dawn of time
Have been hidden for so long.

All have some painted counterfeit,
Captured true Light in a word.
But to Sun, such room is candlelit,
A sorry, painted counterfeit
Of a Song which none have heard.
They chase a star into the West.
A ship through ocean, stream, and river
Passes sea and havens blessed,
Chases star into the West
Until all has turned to silver.

Shine, dear star, on shoreline white.
Beyond the reach of crystal sea,
True harmony and perfect Light
Shine from star on shoreline white
As though 'twas fated destiny.
Your Master, your dear Crafter, builds
Your brethren from mere fog and gas,
And watches as a plan fulfilled
Lets me look on ocean stilled
And see Him in that silver glass.

((Might as well share, huh?))

I was listening to a rap before I wrote this so it is fast paced.
I call this"
"God Gives Us Everything"

I'll remember all your teachings
As long as you continue all your breachings
Into me you warm me up
As I drink from your loving cup

[chorus]
There's no talent but of that God given
Unto everything that's livin'
There's no skill but of that from God
All the other skills are just fraud

Theres more to it all you know
And You are the one who makes it show
When I am down you raise me high
All the way up to the sky

[chorus]

There's nothing that happens that you don't know
Even if it happened long ago
With every thing you are involved
And with you nothings unresolved

[chorus]

God gives us everything
Which is why I choose to sing
With you I belong
Which is why I end this song


I am not the greatest song (actually I think I am near the worst), so my songs aren't pieced together very well. Hope it is at least decent.

I would put music to it, but unfortunately I am untalented when it comes to music, so pray to God to give me a talent for instruments/singing. (as I said in the song, "there's no talent but of that God given")

I was going to ask my dad to see if he can write music for it because he does have the talent.

But thanks for the positive feedback and I will try to write some more songs.

Man, you're just full of writing talent from God! Although you didn't spend as much time on this one, it's still a good one! It might not be worth a grammy, but I could see this being sung in my youth group someday. But I picture it going a bit slower...but that's just me. But anyway, it's still got 100% truth included and I can relate to what's in it. Thanks for posting again. biggrin

Geez technoyoshi! You've got a whole library of songs! eek You should seriously form a band sometime so you can put these words to good use! Once you get in college it would be really easy to form a group, especially if you're planning on going to a christian college.

Now about the song, again I can relate to it. God is always there and makes you feel better when you talk with Him. He's always there, day and night, like you said. Nice job, again! biggrin
