Poem: The Sign of the North Star

The Sign of the North Star

Upon a cool dark night,
I was looking up towards the sky,
looking back on fond memories of
so long ago.

And in that midst of darkness,
there appeared with hope,
and yet so bright,
was the north star,
shining in all of its might.




Up there, it sparkled so high,
it brought forth a hope in my heart,
It helped me to remember,
that not everything had fallen
apart.

The north star,
that lead so many from afar.
A light that provided guidance
that we seem to search for throughout our lives.

In a moment, when I prayed for hope,
when I was remembering so many memories that 
had touched a broken heart,
Its light shone anew
Reminding me,
that with His love,
yes, I could still cope.

A time, when you feel like you've come down,
there's always a symbol, or a sign
turning your heart completely around.

His love for us is never lost,
because we are His children,
we are always found. 

Just look up toward the sky,
for the north star.
It will bring a leap of faith,
and lift your love,
high up off the ground.

Poem: The Monster in Me

I keep it locked up inside
So that the fear subsides

I don't grow angry
for the fear
I won't recognize me.

She grips the cage bars
and quietly meets my gaze
as she pleadingly looks up at the stars.

It's that other side,
that I so dearly secretly hide.
She will never be free,
It's the monster in me.

I've tossed the key
and thrown it away,
I'll never let her out to play.
You'll never see
the monster in me.

A few battles were fought,
but sadly, she was caught.

A heart of love beat her to the core,
for the monster in me,
was nevermore.

Inspirational Poetry:This Place is Only Temporary

This Place is Only Temporary

We all may not be from this world,
but we are of this world.
A universe of infinite love,
is the place that we call home.

This place, in which our feet touch the ground,
and gravity ties us down,
is only temporary.

We are in a classroom,
learning lessons that God has come to teach.
Each and every one of us had a mission,
before breathing our first breath of life.
It is our task, to full-fill that mission,
and to radiate, infinite love
to everyone.

This world is so much bigger than we think it is,
there is more than we can imagine beyond the universe.
We are only a small,
minute particle
in this galaxy that we are a part of.

We are all one.
Connected by love.
the hurt, anxiety,
Unsureness or anger that you feel,
are trials that you face on this earth...

In the aftermath,
you will feel only love.
Love is what will unite you.
This place is only temporary.

One day,
you will go home.

Poem: Materialism

MATERIALISM


Hoards of people set out to fill their pockets
with the latest treasures and gold pieces.

In a search of the latest trend,
they fill their pockets full,
as if they have no end.

Their mouths watering at the sight,
they pack together like wolves,
savoring every bite.

As they fill their pockets,
they search for happiness and enlightenment
that they believe is hidden at the bottom of the well.

They urge to find their hope
buried beneath the treasure.
But only those who are not mad men,
will realize it is all part of an evil spell. 

They dream of houses of gold
and search for a fountain of youth,
so that they never grow old.

Pearls, rubies and gemstones,
the noise of their searching chatter increases,
sending chills to my bones.

As their desire of need increases,
my love that I had
breaks my heart into pieces.

They continue to search through the gold and treasures
within the well,
Hoping for a happiness that they may 
never be able to tell.
Some may even drown in self pity into their own
personal Hell.

If only they could open their blind eyes,
and hear the truth to their sad ugly cries.

Forget about the pearls, gold and rubies,
and see the reality behind the evil disguise. 

They will have to seek the love of their Master,
who will bring them to their knees.

Only he shall provide the path to happiness
and righteousness.
But he will not bring it
in the form of gold, pearls and rubies. 

Inspirational Poem: A Visit from Jesus

A Visit from Jesus

Some years ago,
one evening,
as I lied low 
in my darkest hour,
a bright light shone
in my corner.

Confused and alone
I had thought I sat.
But it was he,
who came to comfort me
and wipe away my tears.

He took me in his lap
and held me close
as He allowed me to cry.

"Never-more my child,
I am always with you,"
He told me,
wiping away my tears.

In the most brightest ray,
I sat there in the chair
as he sat shining in
his white robe
smiling down at me.

My heart leaped,
and once again
I was comforted.

Jesus pushed away the darkness
in my corner,
gave me a hug
and promised that he would
never leave me alone,
because he loved me.

Minutes later,
I awoke from my slumber,
refreshed and new...

And He told me
to share this message
and bare witness the truth.

Poem: He is the Way

An original poem written be me (Ariana R. Cherry). I put the poem on a photo that I took.

 The clouds were gorgeous that day :)

We are all part of God's Plan

Our lives can be so busy sometimes with work, our family, events and technology. We fill up our calendar so full, that we have forgotten to make time for ourselves. Have you ever really stopped and thought about why you are here in the first place? What is your destiny on Earth?

According to some research and books that I have read, we were all given a mission or provided a destiny to full-fill on this earth before we were born. Our souls need enlightenment and are forever learning. The day that we came into this world, became day one of our mission. We may not understand what that mission is for quite some time, but God will lead us in the direction that he wants us to go. It isn't always a coincedence that we might run into certain people or become a part of someone's life. God was directing us to that specific corner so that we could full-fill our destiny.

Although, life does get in the way. There are different things or even people who will try to lead us away from our chosen path. Then we must try to find our way to get back on. If we allow our attention to get redirected elsewhere, it is very easy to get lost...

Some of us are gifted with special talents and skills. That wasn't an accident either. We are all wise spirits who are accustomed with a variety of special skills that help us reach our full potential in life. God gave us the tools that we needed to complete our mission. Be aware of your special talents and skills so that you can come to understand exactly what that mission may be. 

It's easy to get caught up in the everyday life. There are times though, that it is essential to take a time out. Life itself can catch us off guard if we aren't careful. 

This universe is so much larger than we can even fathom. It goes on for entire lifetimes. Our life here on Earth is just a stepping stone into something even bigger. Once we complete our destiny, we will move on to the afterlife, where our souls will still continue to learn and grow wiser... We are all part of God's plan.
