Short Thought: Journey

I have to enjoy the journey because the destination makes it all worth it.

Love always, Esha  <3

Good Men

Good gracious, Lord have mercy 

Cover me in your grace 

Wrap me in your love 

Turn me not from your face 

I have sinned 

Again and again 

Dug, deep, dark trenches 

For the hearts and souls 

Of good men 

Knowing I could never 

Care for them 

I get it in 

Impaired evenings lavished 

With Dom Perignon, fast food and gin

At some point 

Ya gonna speak 

Only so many times 

You can kiss on a man’s neck 

And make his mind go weak

Love always, Esha  <3

Help

Eyes closed 

Head bowed 

Hands clasped 

Knees touching the ground 

Prayers raised high 

That's why we are hopeful 

All the time

Because we know... 

Where are hope comes from 

Love always,  Esha <3

Competition

Move past the competition with ease and grace 

There are no competitors in a one man race 

There is no fear here 

Your presence can not be replaced

Because you were put in place by God 

Think it not strange 

Though some may see it as odd 

You were choose for a reason to walk a path 

That many can not follow 

Some follow ambitions that are vain and hollow 

But your faith will persevere

Let Christ be the light to your footsteps

Hold your head high 

You will dance on water 

You will walk on baby blue sky 

Love always, Esha <3

Lust for Money

Happiness doesn't start with money. Silver and gold doesn't satisfy the soul. Covered in gift wrap and tied with a little bow. Yet and still it fails to cover and heal the lack that people never show. Cash works for simple things like gas, rent and purchasing a wedding ring. But it can never buy love. It provides all the shiny objects we can think of... Let the light bounce off surfaces and twinkle in dim eyes. But it never penetrates the darkness inside. It's just the luster of money. 

Love always, Esha  <3

Failing Words

Our words fall short 

They collapse before I love you 

Breaking like a vase hitting the floor 

We wonder bout the meaning be hide it all.. 

How to find the closeness of connection? 

Without stuttering in the moment when we receive an urgent call 

Only to realize that at times we are a bit too harsh on ourselves

On cloudy days we all need a bit of help

Love always, Esha

Something More

Oftentimes we judge the book by the cover. So we don't read it and never get to the precious information inside. Failing to read the forward. Ignoring the author's bio. Going past the parts that pertain to the index. Thinking what book of value can I reject next? The eyes bypass the context. Attempting to select the best thing but choosing according to the flesh. Scrolling through eBooks hoping to find deeper subtext but always coming up short. Look for easy reads in a library full of complicated stories. Running from grace while a closed heart secretly searches for the Lord. Why are we alive? What do we suffer long for? Questioning minds wonder... A lonely soul implores that we read for the pleasure of finding something MORE. 



Love always, Esha  <3
