Hey Lil' Artist

Narrator:

Hey there love with your cute lil hat,

matching frames to match

& your great lil tweet’s, so cute

You’d rather escape

and simply create

this life that you try to compute

Day Dream on

my lil’ soldier of light

Fear not the time you waste

Through the work of your hand

you live on to withstand

The perils that you must face

Color the world green & purple

Cuz they really match your eyes

Hum the bass notes

to melodies of hopes

when fears & hurts arise

Rock the design

Bold & refined

Mirror Image of sheer perfection

Thinking on your feet

you always must compete

with your lastest & greatest creation

Those ear muffs are so hot

& those shorts are too

I’m just wondering if it’s just too much for the zoo

I agree you’re impatient

speaking truth on the run

always giving mad props to the one & only SON

Just help me understand

Are you an angel or a man

Can new life exist on purpose

Pass the thought. sight. & zeal

Have these vibrations lost their thrill

to much paranoia to walk in your purpose

You’ve been given an ‘eye’

but continue to deny

the lifeline of light that fuels you

You sew & construct

draw & conduct

but you fake the faith that proves you

I don’t mean to hold you long

or keep you from your song

But real life must start here now

No more half hearted hissy’s

cuz the quitting is for sissy’s

And you’ve come way to far to give up now!

Hey Lil Artist

w/ your lil’ swag apparatus

& your appropriately matching gear

Time to live past the surface

and truly embrace your purpose

Run full-speed ahead toward your fear.

in his closet

In his closet

are technicolor layers

In his closet

Are labels for the players

In his closet

you can look but not touch

In his closet

Is much too much

Close the doors to that catastrophe

Closing the doors so you can not see

All of the layers in this closet.

So many clothes on a broke man's budget

Too much pain went into this closet

Fear and hurt make daily deposits

Rockin' the latest heart break from the spring collection

This here closet never met a recession

Overflowin' with styles from every single region

Got boys and girls alike always steady reachin'

Peakin' in my closet looking for the clues

Got many of fashionistas singing the blues

This dirty little closet

Is just full of secrets

Keep poking around

and you're bound to see it.

Turn on the light

and what do you see?

A closet full of junk

stacked on painful memories....

~S. Byrd

untitled~~ Renovation

is painting the pain with praise.

No longer living in the house of pain as is, but I take my brush of worship

& with each stroke of my tongue, cover what is the plague of hopelessness.

I saturate this flimsy dwelling with the power of the most High God

& he will take this structure, intended for my demise

& fill it with all that He is..

#love/life/joy/peace/hope/liberty/power/protection/light.

So with each word of adoration

& each profession of faith

Christ then inhabits in this structure of security.

He blesses it & deems it a worthy workplace.

Where He constructs new standards of living

& completes the work according to the blue print of victory that existed long before I became willing.

So now living in this home of praise & worship

No big bad wolf can penetrate, shake, or remove me from this place.

My secret place... my safe place

I am new through Christ Jesus.. !

*yawns from exhaustion*

Hey all!

Got nothing deep or spooky to say today! But as promised, I am making a post everyday!

This is more for myself. To stick to my guns for once in my life & follow through. (with something). lol My brain is awfully fatigued from three (four hour) final exams back to back! So creativity kinda took a back seat for tonight!

But what I must say is that I am amazed @ the people God will put in your life.

To support you, to encourage you , to inspire you, to help you, to pray for you, to push you, & ultimately to keep you on the right track. So even when my brain is not working, their brain is.

#goGod

Be of good cheer, oh broken hearted!

Until the next post.

luv s.FlyByrd

DREAMERS

Where is your head?

Seems so far pass the clouds

Where is your heart?

'cuz I hear it beating loud.

Come out of your dreaming

For the day is so young

Revive your sweet spirit

For your song must still be sung

You hopeless romantic

Some how you lost your way

But love is still waiting

Your dreams can not delay.

Return to your first love

The passion is still proof

Return to your first love

It embraces you in truth.

Good morning my sunshine

Let not those clouds block your light

Good morning my sweet heart

This time it's worth the fight.

As long as you keep dreaming

I'll bring each one to pass

As long as you keep loving

Please know your strength will last

Return to your first love

The passion is still proof

Return to your first love

It embraces us in truth.

With arms stretched wide open

Compassion unlocks the door

This melody in your spirit

Sings my love forever more

TRIED

I tried to make it easy

I tried to make it straight

I tried to get your love to stay

but you just couldn't wait.

I tried, I tried with all might

but you just dropped the ball.

And when I said 'Im sick of trying

you tripped to make me fall.

I tried to say I love you back

& choked up on the fib

I tried to sing this love of mine

but never cracked the lid

I tried to see it from your view

to help me understand

I tried to wrap my head around

me trying to love this man

I tried to get it through my head

that this could never work

I tried, I tried to tell the truth

that your scent just makes kirk

Tried smiling, when I'm frowning

I tried rolling through the mud

I tried to change up my hair & shoes

I even poured out my blood

I tried dinner & the movies

I tried taking you trips

Tried to keep my patience up

even when you threw those fits

I tried giving you body

almost up to my soul

I tried to find your peace with in

& found a big gaping whole

See, I tried to run away

& you found me yet again

& I tried to say I love you

you know..... just as a friend

I tried to deal with drama

that had nothing to do with me

I tried to keep myself in focus

But you blocked my sight to see

So like I said I'm sick of trying

Trying to make it work

cuz all this pain from drama

Is really beneath my worth.

So try & take this notice

& put it through your head

& try try try again

like the lil engine said!

WTF....in the SON!

The sun is pleasant

And God, our patient Father is tossing the ball of life

back & forth between us. No matter how many times we drop the ball...

He lovingly retrieves it. & continues to instruct us on how to position our whole person, so that we may strategically throw this ball, to the correct angle, for the win.

in this sun

In this glorious Son

Do you begin to inherit

the true character of this gracious Father

Watching Him intensely for the stance

Mirrored almost mime-like for the win

In this sun...

the Father will throw the ball of abundant life in your hands

How will you position yourself?

Are you in ready position to secure it in your grasp?

For the win is in your hands!

Watch the ball,

but most all,

Watch The Father!

LOL!
