1/13/11-13 is one of my favorite numbers :)

This is a poem, Hi, I haven't written one in a while. since my emotions were loco, have i not written. but they are not now. Just thoughts which loom....    
Just a meaning... just a "breath".


A flower fades away as the seasons change
a petal falls off here, maybe one suspended in air
for a second.
something happed.
be careful to watch carefully
before it's gone
fallen and fading into a watery puddle
it can be beautiful
but no longer is it the same as before
this petal once so beautiful
once so delicate will be come apart of something new
it will die
it has died
for a moment life cannot be seen but the remnants of a past season
Winter is a long time.
It is a cold long challenging time
for nature and the life in it
bears hibernate, the snow comes and goes
colors change
all but the evergreen
They stay, enduring, lasting.
They are not the prettiest but they are admired and grown for their character
something happened.
the wind passes and brings a warm breath
like God formed man with the "breath of life" so this warm wind changes things
it stirs the plants animals and beings
spring is coming. have hope. prepare and bud.
remember to watch.
be careful to watch carefully.
a springing from the ground begins
a budding of new growth.
the seed which was dropped because the outer beauty called a petal fell.
remember.
watch
be careful
to watch carefully.
pay attention.
because the past is a witness to the future
the petal which faded into a watery puddle was just a reflection
a reflection of beauty
this the flower knew
but it continued to change as the day passed
never staying the same
a home for the hungry and a cover in rain
a pleasing sight but protected by thorns is this rose
this budding flower that continues to change
because it is willing to shed
shed its beauty
even more replaces it
this flower spread its seeds
and after the seasons change growth will happen again
after the long cold challenging time
life will begin this time more
this time stronger
this time more beautiful than before.
because it understands
it understands what it means to give
without holding onto anything
it understands

Romans 6:13

Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin. Instead, give yourselves completely to God, for you were dead, but now you have new life. So use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God.

^{1 Peter 3:3-4}

³ Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. ⁴ Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.
