Poetry:

Poetry has often been called the language of the soul. I have always loved poetry, and I have often turned to it whenever I couldn't express the deepest feelings of my heart. Somehow, the words of rhyme can speak so much louder and paint a much brighter picture than just mere words. So I'm dedicating a page of this blog to poetry about the realm beyond and spiritual experiences. I hope you enjoy these pictures of beauty as much as I do!

Temporal...


Temporal, passing, fading, gone
This life, yet something still lives on
Unbound, it stands beyond all time
Its reason found through life's rhyme
A storm cannot wash it away
Nor tears you fear will ever stay
Its call is heard beyond, above
It is that thing known as love
Always, eternal, endless, forever
Love that nothing of this life can sever
Begins in the heart, at home in the soul
The haphazard pieces at last become whole
Temporal, passing, fading, gone
Most things of this life, but love lives on...

Reaching Out...


The world around bid me forget all but that which is seen
The veil is thick, yet beyond its shroud are truly wondrous things
Yet they say no, just turn away, there is no such truth
No answer or hope can they give to lost and searching youth
Yet my heart bid that I believe in what I hardly feel
A voice inside, so deep inside me, says it is real
Yea, more, it asks me to beckon you to my side
To join me in this place where time and dreams and eternity collide
And find that in the clash of these a rhythm true is found
Its beat finds its way into my heart and lets me hear the sound
Of waves upon the shore of eternity's sweet haven
A place where I find a solace for my soul's deep craving
Where joy I find, where love is mine, where dreams are always true
Where I know reality will meet one day to find me there with you.
 ~Zephyr Angel Chanson

Ocean of Love!

The rippling rays reach down to me through ocean's placid flow
In its embrace and your love's face I was rocked to and fro;
Protected, loved, safely kept, I was held
And within the sacred place with your soul mine did meld;
For one who has never know such a priceless feeling
Could not know what to make of such a blessed reeling;
My heart, your home; your heart, my own
Knowing I would never again have to be alone;
This is hope and this is peace, finding joy through sorrow
Knowing that beyond all else eternity is my tomorrow!

Forever...

The times I remember
The look on your face;
The touch of your hand
No time can erase.

I wish you were here
So close, here with me;
I long to feel you
Set my heart free.

The times that we share
Don’t seem hardly enough;
Long moments without you
To go through is rough.

But then I remember:
This love will not sever;
It comes from above
And we have forever!

We have forever:
Though now maybe not;
We have forever:
A beautiful thought!

We have forever:
I can love you;
We have forever:
I know that it’s true!

So when in my heart
The longing is great,
When I think of your touch
And I don’t want to wait,

I am reminded of this
And so I can smile;
We will have forever
Though it might take a while.

His love never ends
No time or distance sever;
This love that He’s given
It will last forever!

 ~ Zephyr Angel Chanson

Your Journey Home...

Silent and unseen,
Unending love and strength,
Gifts of spirit held out in His arms;
Mercy that forgives,
Joy that ever lives,
Calming, lifting, keeping safe from harm.

Light that drives away,
Turns darkness into day,
Touching hearts and remaking a life;
Soul-quieting peace,
Gently-felt surcease,
Bringing calm and melting away strife.

Value oft forgotten,
Touched by the begotten,
Sin is covered, only love remains;
Simply as you are,
No one is too far,
Blood poured out to win you once again.

Knows what’s in the heart,
Suffered at the start,
For your sake, so you could share the joy;
Are you ever thirsting?
For love ever yearning?
Love eternal waits to fill the empty void!

His thirst is for you,
His desire ever true,
There is no reason to aimlessly roam;
There is a secret place,
An eternal heavenly space,
You are now on your journey home!

Wish I Could Express...

Wish I could just express Your love
And what it means to me;
Wish I could somehow let You know
That Your touch makes me free.

Your love is strong,
It never fails,
It never fades,
Encompassing,
Holding me,
Filling me with Your strength;

Your love is steady
When I am not,
Still you hold on
You never let go;
You bring my heart peace
As I rest in You.

Your love is deep
Like an ocean,
Or the vast universe;
Like treasures unearthed,
Mysteries waiting
Just beyond my reach;
Yet I touch You
And You speak to me.

Your love is new,
Though from the start;
It has been,
And always will be,
Still it is breathing, alive,
Changing and fresh.
You make my heart anew!

I make attempts and try my best
To describe Your love so true;
But nothing could ever aptly express
The love I share with You!

Belong...

Would I belong?
Will love stand strong?
Will it find its way to your heart?
Would you even see?
Will you turn to me?
Will you let forever's song start?
Could it be bought?
Can it be sought?
Can love last through it all?
Could you dream?
Can love seem
Can it catch you when you fall?
Should you forgive
Shall we live
Shall we find love's sweet home?
Should we try?
Not ask why
Shall we never again have to roam?
Could it be?
This love I see?
Is it that for which I pray?
If so, if so
Then don't let go
Hold on, forever, today.
Passion's song
Cannot go wrong
When sung to the heart's call
It is forever
Will vanish never
This love will conquer all!

Another Goodbye...


Another friend has said goodbye
To a piece of their broken heart
Upon a time 'twas unbroken, whole
Now it is only a part

Another love has bid adieu
A final moment shared
Yet one more wish another knew
Just how much they cared

Another one in sorrow gave
A final, parting embrace
The bittersweet moment sadly passed
Crystal moment no time can erase

Another heart that wishes things
Changeless could always remain
Yet finding itself torn apart
Seeing nothing but loss and pain

Another soul destined to find
An abiding, timeless hope
Love that endures beyond the pain
A promise that gives strength to cope

A promise whispered beyond the veil
That distance and time cannot sever
That says you can never say goodbye
To love, because it is forever!

You Want to Run Away...

You want to run away
But something bids you, stay;
It whispers in your dreams
A call, or hope, it seems;
But life, why is it never
That which we wish or hope,
And when we cannot cope;
Abide, abide with me
Let love's haven be
That which you know you've seen
Within your deepest dreams;
Open your eyes, awake
See that it is real
All that you think you only feel;
Listen, hear the sound
It's love, for love abounds!
It finds its way, though you feel lost
You are not lost to stay!

Thank You for Your Heart!


Thank you for your heart!

I didn't put it on the shelf;
I didn't want it obvious to anybody else
For fear someone might try to claim
What I know is mine;

Thank you for your heart!

I didn't put it under my pillow;
To hold to me each night
For fear it might take flight
And never return to me 
When day dawns with its light;

Thank you for your heart!

I didn't put it in my pocket
With a hundred random things;
Coins and paper do not go
With that which makes my own heart sing;

Thank you for your heart!

I didn't put it in the fridge;
For I know that it will stay
As new and fresh as it is upon this very day
Your heart cannot be stored away.

What place then for this heart of yours?
What place then for a love so pure?
I found the perfect place, I know
A place where it can thrive and grow
A place no one will ever know

I placed it within my very own
Two hearts that now do beat as one
For longer than the moon or sun
Until the story is fully spun
Two hearts did meld and will always be one!
