By: Wilbanice ayala Passing by We are all just passing by Sojourners on an unknown path Passengers on this cross sea voyage Gypsies seeking their true love Homeless nomads Passing by This train doesn't stop No it won't slow down If you don't pay attention It may just pass you by Watch for those blinking lights Prepare yourself Because none of us is getting out of this one Alive Passing by We are all just passing by Sojourners on an unknown path Passengers on this cross sea voyage Gypsies seeking their true love Homeless nomads Passing by All you have is the life you've been lent The love in your heart Though forever restless Accompanying you on this one way expedition Your light to enkindle those snuffed out by blasts, Gusts of submerged Despair Keeping them trapped in their past Heed my warning...

There's beauty bursting from within Treasure inside the old weathered tin Faith's still growing , though the branch is dried out and withered And though my scars are covered Their stories don't die No they just accumulate Like balls of snow Rolling down a hill Layers of collected scraps In between the perfection of the Snow White There's beauty bursting from within But will it ever be recognized Seen for what it is? Uncovered in their nudity and truth The wounds that remain Those that form the innermost part of me Branches unpruned that yet can reopen wounds Vines covering the beauty within a solitary soul I'll let it go for you I'll let it go for a chance to for a chance to experience the things I've never felt or seen For wounds to be healed Pain relieved , anxieties released Placing my trust in higher things Only God knows what will be of this story
And like leaves fall off the Tree So go the years in our lives When we realize our loneliness is only in our reflections Allow the rush of the river to fade The lullaby shall slowly play As the crescent moon hangs Through skies where wishes shine Stars in the twilight Shooting eternities with tails of a comet But... if you listen closely , You might just hear The grandfather clock as it strikes Pain and strength unite Fountains of grace Cascading over emptiness, years of suffering The urgent and essential Declare the hour of twelve Feel the ground shake beneath you Roads of your former selfs Make you realize the things you want and what you need Black and white , clearly seen Hardly will they ever draw water from the same well And logic like an opinion Come on and throw your penny see what time will tell Like leaves falling off a tree...
Faith is born of broken dreams, broken hearts, ripped at their seams Faith stems of wrinkled hands, scabbed and bruised from tending the land Weeding fertile grounds, making room Faith's planted fruits Faith is found in a single word It's born in a yes Proclaimed in surrender Bearing the weight of our crosses In enlightened expectation Two eyes tired of crying yet joy somehow still shines despite trials, despite pain Faith sometimes has tried to hide to escape me from time to time Just as I'm about to give up Faith's song pours into a heart Lifting you up in it's chorus of celestial rhymes
I didn't know there existed something like this A realm where reality and love co-exist heart open , prayers sewn to my sleeve I decided to take this leap Eyes blindfolded Now I fear the water rising Arms flailing madly It's the fears that have me sinking Doubts keep bringing me Here And though I want to be walking on clouds Something will not let me Take this route, With my heart open prayers sewn to my sleeve I decided to take this leap Eyes blindfolded Now I fear the water rising arms flailing madly It's the fears that have me sinking Doubts keep bringing me Here My heart's open Though eyes shut tightly There's still hope A sign might awaken this heavied soul You say to lay my burdens down I'll come to you Hands open Heart open Prayers sewn to my sleeve The youth of my will Will pass like the winter's cold Slowly and bitterly Years dance on by With every new day Prayers keep multiplying Candles flames burn through the darkness surrounding In it's win...
Fountain of mercies freed from misery taking the old and dirty washing it clean In my misery I cried my soul broken to pieces enslaved by worldly desires, Sent me on a quest to find a way out myself More miserable I grew, Yet nearer to me you drew Washed me clean with your mighty right hand, though I knew it not it was the beginning all over again Delivered me from the misery that had taken over my state Directed me on your path telling me to run on, you carried me to the end of the race
When your breaths all become labored sighs years seem to be flashing before your eyes When the ocean of tears has no end in sight The weight so heavy It's burying you alive Questions come and questions go Pain can be like a long tunnel underground... Amidst a tundra of darkness In a land unknown Let not your heart be troubled In me you'll always find, The strength has woven us Together Love conquers all, Yes, Even time Though the vision seems blurred Can't see why you're still here keep your head up This too will heal It soon shall pass, Courage shall replace The hurt and the heartache The sadness and pain Let not your heart be troubled In me you'll always find The strength has woven us Together Love conquers all, Yes, Even time It is the struggles that unite us Our humanity, weaknesses and doubts Our need for one another, To be lifted up when we are about to drown Let not your heart be troubled In me you'll always find ...
Life is a labyrinth twists and turns Unforeseen meetings Unexpected goodbyes We live for tomorrow as the present passes us by Take a deep breath and enjoy the ride Sit back and take that sunset in listen to the waves feel the breeze against your skin Dance til your feet can no longer stand Don't let the summer storms rain it out Life's too short to be watching from afar Sun rises over darkness Let it enlighten each and every little worry Let it shine upon all you hold in, Because everything can change in a moment It's a story yet to be written can be a dream worth waking to It's a hymn Makes your spirits rise and your heart rejoice in the sheer beauty that is life Take a deep breath and enjoy the ride Because none of us are getting out of this one alive Let it shine upon all you're holding in Because everything can change Anything, can change in a moment Sit back and take that sunset in listen to the waves feel the breeze against ...
My Unchained Melody
Stillness surrounds the sound of my thoughts reverberate My destiny is beckoning and like a child in a play A note in an unchained melody I’m lost on an empty stage Just another child in a Broadway play A tear stain that never fades Imperfection graces my role like a child in a Broadway play lost on an empty stage I’m a girl trying to learn how to sing A soul awaiting it’s unchained melody Hoping someday it might be sung back to me the poet she stands and courageously reads evoking emotions that had been hidden away hibernating in the deepest caves of your very being As the spirit entwines itself around our broken hearts so have the words she speaks a beautiful vine of prose flowing off of her tongue A tear stain that never fades Imperfection graces my role like a child in a Broadway play lost on an empty stage I’m a girl trying to learn how to sing A soul awaiting it’s unchained melody Hoping someday it might be sung back to me My words are few but they are inflamed with pass...
Since I left I feel so lost It's like I'm walking in circles on an endless straight journey Blinded by the sight Of a never ending road Reaching for something too far away The distance is slowly killing me Oh wandering heart Misses you like the air I breathe My lungs gasp for a single breath This wandering heart struggling to bear the weight , the depth of the water that is this storm, The storm sweeping over me Gasping for air underwater, I may just sink Oh wandering heart Misses you like the air I breathe I have forgotten what it's like to walk... without a cloud over me Tears left tracks footprints on pieces of my scattered heart I left in your hands my only comfort is in knowing ill see you again But when? Oh wandering heart Misses you like the air I breathe My lungs gasp for a single breath This wandering heart struggling to bear the weight , the depth of the water that is this storm The storm sweeping over me Gasping for air underwater...
Your words are like poetry to my soul filling me with comfort, filling me with hope if only you knew the power your words have When troubled and saddened, They were streams of life onto a barren land They were that one lone flower rising up from the cracks You are my dreams when wide awake you're my sunshine at 3am you're my deserted island's winter snow You're prayers attached by the thorns on a Our Lady's rose My midnight offerings, Yes, the very prayers attached to my bed post Your eyes pierced through me reading every single word to my story and though only for a minute or two Oh, sweet peace from a sunset's breeze all I can say is somehow, someday I'll see you again You are my dreams when wide awake you're my sunshine at 3am you're my deserted island's winter snow You're my prayers attached to me by the thorns on a rose for Our Lady My midnight offerings Your smile was escaped my mind's picturesqu...
Just some musings ... Hard to come by inspiration nowadays To love is an act of faith It is a chance , a risk you take It's a single drop of water, In the scorching heat refreshing a soul from its own defeat To love is an act of faith Armies of hope Marching in unison It's not giving up When all else fails you're still hanging on At the other end of the rope Against waves of hate You are a voice One more voice Marching in an army of hope This is not forced It is my choice To believe beyond reason To love in every season To love is an act of faith It will bring you to your knees Take the very air from your lungs As you struggle to breathe For faith is believing in that which we cannot see You must train your heart to be the guides faith will be your eyes It's like Holy Water From a desert stream Cleanses you from all you impossibilities you see Though you can't explain it, how it feels , or from whence it leaps To love is an act muc...
Our reasons, far too complex to ever try and understand as the Spirit, she blows gently a breeze and I heard it all from the mouth of the creek it speaks It says the wind over the willow blew softly through my hair til there danced our shadows Into the midnight's song to and fro danced our shadows into the midnight's song of the springtime air Our reasons, far too complex to ever try and understand as the Spirit, she blows gently a breeze and I heard it all from the mouth of the creek it speaks Memories fill this frazzled mind so let the Wisdom the bird spoke fill us with hope And the words that you wrote down deep in our souls fill our hearts with courage to get through the night Our reasons, far to complex to ever try and understand as the Spirit, she blows gently a breeze and I heard it all from the mouth of the creek it speaks These lips shall never deny of a love that's more true of the unconfessed truth that has become...
Beauty quietly lyes beneath the dirt and leaves the little sprout trying to get out pushing it's way through all the weeds Beauty quietly lyes in the glory of the sunrise Passionate reds, and joyfilled yellow hues, painted across the skies, purples and pinks Beauty quietly lyes behind reddened bloodshot eyes, it's left it's mark on knees who've knelt for much of their lives Beauty quietly lyes where we least expect It's a smile marking a soul, the rainfall during the sunset Beauty isn't so obvious, not everyone can see it It has been disguised, hidden for those whom care to seek it
My restless heart it's on attack but there's always a way to get back on track restless heart be still in the midst of chaos be still in the midst of war hold on just hold on This too shall pass Monsters they come out every now and again resembling the ugliness we all hold within frail and feeble we are human and these creatures of the night terrorize With blankets of deceit trying to cover up the light My restless heart it's on attack but there's always a way to get back on track restless heart This soon shall pass There's grace in every step we take when we choose not to walk by sight, but walk by faith though you may feel tired, lost, and faint truth will guide you uphold you on your weakest day Restless heart be still in the midst of chaos be still in the midst of war remember this is just a journey remember who you're fighting for be still in the midst of chaos be still in ther midst of war hold on just hold on Th...
Ripped out from my roots like a weed from the ground you've severed me forever cut the little life from my very stem and yet expect me to be okay to be jubilant and elated When I've been pulled out of the garden where I bloomed so beautifully I have no oxygen with which to breathe you've stolen everything.. Left me here empty handed broken-hearted, completely stranded i don't know what will come of me' i don't know where i will go but i know i cannot follow where it is you wish me to go Lists of reasons come and go all I know is, this is home If I'd heard Him call my name I'd surrender and follow but you're ripping me out like a weed A weed from the garden where it bloomed beautifully I speak, yet no ones listening I have no oxygen with which to breathe Broken-hearted, completely stranded I don't know what will come of me i don't know where i will go but i know i cannot follow where it is you wish me to ...
Jan. 28, 2013 Your song it plays loudly Drowning out my pain, my worries There is no room for fear here And where there were mistakes Only grace remains Beauty of beauties sings over me Songs of Love, songs of hope Notes written perfectly to the sound my heart makes and when I thought it was all over His song burst forth from the river my path took a turn then there was you Uncertainty disappeared Tears wiped away I was strengthened by your courage Taught my identity Shown that with You, there was nothing I couldn't acheive Let this song overtake you Melt over you like honey on a hot day Allow the sweetness of His promises to transform you He will exceed your expectation Beauty of beauties sings over me Songs of Love, songs of hope Notes written perfectly to the sound my heart makes and when I thought it was all over His song burst forth from the river my path took a turn then there was you Now I patiently await for you to hear it too th...
our lives blank pages with no lines typed out letters perfectly aligned like flowers in a garden awaiting their ray of sunshine blank pages with no lines just a beautifully hand written plan Our design is that of One whose love is far too vast to hold in your hand resembling an image so glorious no artist can quite portray blueprints, molds thrown away constructing us from scratch, each with a purpose, a plan.... the wonder of the Creator's pen Our lives blank pages with no lines books without chapters just pages, perfectly sequenced, Dreams, passions fill pages disappointments and choices our hearts deepest cries here on these lye in this collection We are bound by four rings Truth, Love, Hope and charity For what good is a book if there's no one to read it? what good is a word that has no meaning the secrets to life buried deep within you The beauty of life will unfold with the turning of every page
Life it's all the same we're all lacking perfection prisoners to our negligence forever seeking that brighter day Freedom awaits in the silence watches quietly in truth it's visible in the perched eagle it is the autumn of youth and only in our growing surviving these tangled roles which cover our paths will we discover the peace to the war embedded in each one of us
