Yep

simple things

sing until your lungs are exhausted

dance until your feet can't move

paint until your body is covered

in a mess of color and sticky hues

jump from the tree

land in the leaves

take your blanket to the middle of the field

hide in the high grass until...

someone yells for you

watch the clouds

smell the breeze

feel the warmth of the sun on your cheeks

watch the bugs

run home... wherever that maybe

talk to your pet squirrel

can you make a "believe"

bring your world to reality

bring your world back to the little things

enjoy your reality

i love you-khristen

maybe

you sit there in your empty space

thinking

you pace the absence of everyone

wondering

you roll over in your lonliness

weeping

you stand in your fear

hoping

maybe you'll decide to write or read

maybe you'll decide you want to breathe air that's free

maybe you'll decide you want to be apart of society

maybe you'll decide to do something...

something more than just surviving

love-khristen

DIFFERENT YOU/ DIFFERENT ME

When do we walk as

"different"

people

People who are stronger

than fear

People who love

violently

I want to be

violently patient

violently kind

violently gentle

violently selfcontrolled

when do we love

without fail

Think of others

before ourselves

make choices that are best

for everyone

instead of

"me and i"

make choices full of

wisdom

faith

and

confidence

instead of continually

reacting in fear

walk out our lives

knowing that the

peace that resides

in "us" is

OUR CHOICE

to take on

and

OUR CHOICE

to protect

Selfish ambitions

are for the

ignorant,

the corrupt,

and

the destructive

people

who are determined

to rot

in

"their way"

to

crush themselves

beneath

"their"

will.

We, brothers and sisters,

walk humbly

knowing

we

"know"

NOTHING

but that which

our Father

has put before us.

We can not

allow people

who are determined

to walk in their way

change

who we are-

how we walk-

how we think-

how we respond.

LOVE is the unfailing response.

Whether it be

tough love,

fierce love,

violent love,

screaming love,

or whispering love.

We must choose for love to be our intent.

We must choose our intent on purpose.

(no more NOT KNOWING why we do things)

If we are seeking for purpose then we must act on purpose.

Strategically walking our lives out to be

"unique"

to be

true,

loving,

"different"

people.

deep and dirty

roots

deep roots

deep insecurity

non-security

feelings/emotions of a/an ____________ being

INTENSE EMOTION

INTENSE FEELING

hurt enveloped (in) pushed down until rooted

NO PLACE to go

takes it's residues of pain and pursues

other ways to

RELEASE this- self hate- hurt of a PAST DAY

hurt of a negligence

stupidity filling these bones

cowardness overtakes all knowing

childishness manipulated to the highest extent

leaving stains of scorn and resentment

set into the soul

leaving this man completely unwhole

not knowing how to restore

turning to all sorts of SUBSTITUTES for TRUE DESIRE

every time complicating his "unwhole" attire

consumed with thoughts that feed his need

of feeling somthing other than him being empty

UNTRUTH is the light that dims

hiding reality of what really sleeps in him

longing to be awakened and dealt with.

(restructure this heart of mine. re-equip this mind's eye. allow me to see truth in my life. to know life as YOU designed.)

innocence stained with mistrusted acceptance

eyes of attraction/ admiration mistaken for definition

mistaken for emotional recognition/ mislead admiration

CHAOS filling all voids

security now believes

what is consistently being perceived

stained perceptions won't wash away

stained perceptions promise to stay

leaving NOTHING truly new

forever feeling used...

(dry rotten-ness)-

BROKEN TRUST

broken desire

broken relation

depleted introvert

back in to your own seeing

redesigned all your thinking

all that i observe is seen through broken eyes

responding with a broken smile

broken confidence changes my mind

every time- challenging my dreams

challenging my pride

challenging my strength and my design...

forgiveness brings life

forgiveness changes the mind

forgiveness transforms this preception

forgiveness brings forth this beautiful redemption place

awakening desire for life

for challenge

to be more than just ALIVE.

To STRIVE to CONQUER to FIGHT.

-khristen

after you

Freedom has torn her dress...

Liberty has broken her crown... in pursuit of you.

Healing bruises her knuckles to keep you.

Peace has bloodied her feet.

Strength has been cut in battle.

Courage has muddied his armor.

Determination has ruined his eyes straining to keep purpose in sight.

Purpose has stood starving continuing to hold up her light.

Life has been sickened following in circles for so long.

Wisdom's throat is scarred.

Patience's hearing is shot.

Kindness has been dressed in weakness.

Truth's face beatened

Love's army continues...

-khristen

long suffering

...having a package in your possession for almost a whole week that is "time sensitive" and can not be opened until Saturday at noon...   (it's worth the wait therefore i'm going to bed)-khristen

Complete inspiration for entry: Bunk Price

his-guh

to love me as you do

and me barely know you

to sacrifice as you did

knowing i would sin

to pursue me in your way

as i steadily "ran away"

to keep me as you do

and me barely acknowledge you

to stand so strong and true

and unconditionally always be you

to look at me with grace

knowing the shamed expression that lived on my face

i love you

to tangibly express your love for me

in the form of simplicity

the form of one touch

one hug

that moment may feel like an infinity of graces wrapping me up

healing every crack, scrap, and smallest cut

like ointment to my festered pain

calming my rage

redeeming my name

one hug-one love

-khristen

lovelegacy

break up this life, solid and strong

defenses so high, protecting the lost-parts of me

broken pieces, not found so-easily

puzzle showing it's face

astonished at the outcome and place

ready to reach into the deepest deep

jumping off with both feet

empowered to leap, soar, and dive

plunging in waters that awaken and revive

the source that flows so freely through

quenching the parched and springing life anew 

as far as these waters reach

flush green past what is seen

farther still past all you've known was meant to be

this production rare and undiluted...

elements of pure immutable qualities

timeless attributes that keep

past temporaries of shallow legacies

cultivating more than materialistic securities

developing a culture for eternity

reaching the core of our families

shaking the grounds of truths and liberties

producing richness that sets us free

sharing freedom that gives eyes to see

revolutionary giving that creates simplicity

creating a love legacy.
