I Am Love

I am love
I live and I breathe
And yes... I am free
I am very strong
So powerful
So mighty
A fragrance of beauty
A rare pearl
A diamond hidden in rough
I am love
Tender yet so bold
Release you into total freedom
For there is no fear in love
And I will only set you free
You will fly upon my wings
Into an eternal bliss
Of heavenly high clouds
You will float then soar
On the wings of the dove
My Morning Dove
For the Great I Am
Lives in me
I am Love

I am a gentle rose

I am a gentle rose
Yet so strong and bold
Fadeless under adversity
Using it to grow
Though I am cast down
I shall not wither away
For my heart beats loud
Against the torrent waves
My house stands firm
Against the winds of change
Cast down, but not utterly
I shall withstand the test
Break me and I will shine
My light shall shine forth
It peeks through the clouds
Though I cry many tears
My heart battered and bruised
Yet it beats so lovely
At that perfect tune
And I shall dance until I fly
And soon...once again...
I will soar on eagles wings
My arms shall release
The breath in me
I speak, live, and breathe
I am Love

Pushing Toward

All Writing and Art by ©Tonya Ashe

Separation

My heart is bleeding
As I awaken
Unbearable pain
Of aloneness
Time goes on
My world is shaken
Eyes never-ending
Person fading
Disguising reality
Moving past and on
Choosing a different view
Looking up
Temporary exchange
A breath of new
Aching for touch
Reaching into depths
Unheard and unseen
Thoughts swinging
Rolling back into view
What am I to do
Sitting here contemplating
Possible moments with You
Hurting to sing
Pain quaking within
Heart breaking
I see my sin
Causing separation
The door is open
The hinges are rusted
And the nobs are broken
Panels beaten
Please come back in

Love Is My Banner

My banner is love
My heart does sing...
My heart speaks
My heart doest fly
Love flys here
On clouds of the morning skies
A sunset of disguise
Pouring out my heart
I reach out unto You
I touch moments of bliss
I savor Your heart
How can words describe
How I felt when with You
I am that lingering rain
That washes sin away
I passed by You
And I noticed Your heart
Stayed awhile to view
Consumed by the beauty seen
Reconnected for eternity
