Oh, to write an original Christmas post.
Hah.
There is nothing new under the sun...but still, every Christmas has it's wonders.
They may be old, but there is something comforting about things that are old.
That makes me think of something in a show I watched recently.
"I like old things. They make me feel sad," one character said.
Her friend replied, "What's good about sad?"
To which she said: "It's happy for deep people."
So if I talk a little mellow, a little deep, a little bit thoughtful, know that it's coming out of my heart, which, at the moment, is in a thoughtful, reminiscent mood. It may be 'sad'...but it's truly deeply happy for me.
Christmas is nearly here. I'm glad for the break from school, work, even the internet. I think it's good to get away from all the things that clutter up our lives and relationships and simply spend time with people. Sometimes I overanalyze and over plan my relationships. But this Christmas is reminding me of the value of simply being together.
So with that, I'll sign off until New Years...

Poetry: He Is Near
"He Is Near"

The sun will set
The clouds roll in
The darkness will engulf us
Yet he is near
He sticks close
His light will dwell inside us
The valley is dark
The road much narrow
The trials hard to bear
Yet he is help
He guides our steps
He will sanctify us

Poetry: Past, Present, Future
Being 13 was a big year for me, in a lot of ways, learning, growing, struggling, dreaming. That was the year I attended a Rebelution conference, got baptized, wrote like crazy, watched a lot of US politics and dreamed. It was also a year I wrote a lot of poems. So, I'm planning on posting a few! I didn't follow any rhyme or reason or rhythm, and they wouldn't win awards, but they came from my heart. As I read them, I am strongly tempted to do some editing before they appear here, but I'll refrain.

"Past, Present, Future"
November 21, 2008
Hey you
Over there
Stop lookin’ only to the past
Stop wishin’ just for the future
It’s time to live
In the here and now
Hey you
Over here
Start living for good now
Start making your life count
It’s time to live
For God right now
Yes
We should be
Eternity minded
But we also need
To be working
Right now
Our life now
Needs to be
Lived in the shadow
Of eternity
And
To do God’s will
Right here
Right now
