Zombie

I was spiritually dead, walking the earth,

Temporary happiness quickly turned to hurt,

I was a Zombie, feeding on fleshly desire,

As I ate, greed spread through me like wildfire,

Sin is was what I lived in.

 

I was the walking dead,

There was poison in the fruit to others I fed,

I wore clothes as a disguise, to hide the death on my skin,

Hypocrisy was the word my heart found refuge in,

I was never satisfied.

 

My grave was prepared for me,

In the mirror, death used to be all I could see,

My spiritual death longing to become physical,

“I will never let these thoughts become visible.”

Distance became my armor.

 

“I’m a burden to the people around me,” I thought

I leaked poison where I went and couldn’t stop,

The flesh I ate was my addiction,

I felt no conviction,

Till one day, life was spoken upon me.

“There is no purpose down the path you are walking”,

The truth hurt, but it was strengthening,

Through the book of life, I found truth,

I found how to produce good fruit,

“Iron sharpens iron”.

 

I found friends that helped me grow,

Now I don’t always feel low,

The process was hard; occasionally I faltered,

But that made me bounce back and move farther,

I didn’t live in my mistakes; I learned from them.

 

The path of healing was long,

Patience made me strong,

I repent, no more lies,

God helps me face my challenges, no matter the size,

I walk through the shadows, reflecting His light.

 

It isn’t easy going through trials,

The Lord makes it possible to face those evils,

The enemy may tell me I’m worthless,

But God says He made me with purpose,

I am perfectly and wonderfully made.

 

I’m alive, living the way of Christ,

My way had me wallowing through strife,

I was a Zombie till He found me,

My life has changed; look at my testimony,

I’m no longer a slave to the grave,

By Jesus Christ, I’m saved.

Hope In The Glow

 In the stillness of the winter's embrace, 

Twinkling bulbs like stars in the sky, 

Whispers of warmth through the frosty air, 

Each flicker is a beacon in this sacred space, 

Illuminating dreams that lift us high, 

Guiding our hearts through moments of care. 

 

On streets where the shadows quietly blend, 

A cascade of colors begins to unfold, 

Each ornament echoes tales from the past, 

Even when weary hearts struggle to mend, 

These radiant wishes, like treasures of gold, 

Hold memories sweet, forever to last. 

 

Snowflakes swirl with a glimmering grace, 

As tendrils of light wrap around the trees, 

Each shimmering strand, a promise anew, 

In the hush of the night, we find our place, 

With glows of hope that dance on the breeze, 

Beneath this brilliance, we both shine through. 

 

We gather our thoughts, our burdens in tow, 

Yet lights above grant us strength to pursue, 

A reminder that warmth can conquer the cold, 

In silence, we let our true courage flow, 

For every shadow, a flicker comes through, 

Together we rise, both resilient and bold. 

 

As we stand 'neath the festive array, 

Our hearts find solace in shimmering spheres, 

The glow of the season ignites a bright spark, 

Each flickering light keeps all darkness at bay, 

A reminder that hope can banish our fears, 

With whispers of love that dissolve every dark. 

 

Let the lights guide our path through the night, 

As we wander along this winding road, 

When heavy, remember the glimmers we see, 

Each bulb a promise, each flicker a light, 

In the depths of despair, love's pure code, 

Holds us together, a soft, gentle plea. 

 

Through every struggle, we search for our light, 

With each heartbeat, a chance to renew, 

In the magic that fills the chilly air, 

We’ll treasure the moments, laughter, and bright, 

Holding tight to the hope in all that we do, 

In the glow of the season, we find our care. 

 

So let’s celebrate each luminous thread, 

Woven through life in colors so bold, 

With lights that inspire and brighten our way, 

Together we journey, free from our dread, 

For the shine in our hearts can never grow old, 

In the glow we discover our warmth’s gentle sway. 

 

As the world spins 'round, let us take a pause, 

And breathe in the brilliance that soothes our plight, 

Amidst all the chaos, the laughter and cheer, 

We'll find in this light a moment to cause, 

To cherish the small things that make us feel right, 

For love lights our way throughout every year. 

 

In the hush of the night, let hope take its flight, 

In the glow of the season, together we stand, 

For each twinkling light shows how deeply we care, 

Uniting our spirits, igniting our might, 

In the beauty of moments where dreams are planned, 

With whispers of joy and wonders we share. 

 

In the quiet of evening, let laughter resound, 

Echoing softly through the streets that we roam, 

Each chuckle, a note in the symphony's song, 

In warmth of connection, we’re beautifully bound, 

Creating a chorus, a harmonious home, 

Where the glow of our hearts fills the night, fierce and strong. 

 

With each fleeting moment, let kindness ignite, 

As we spread our wings and take flight on the breeze, 

A ripple of warmth in the frost-kissed air, 

For the love that we share can shatter the night, 

Bringing together those longing for ease, 

In this vibrant tapestry, we lovingly care.
