Poetry By Taylor Fink

Soothing The SoulA touchFrom a wordWorking its way inResonatingA resource to look forLonging longevityThe burn that brands meAn incision to live inHeart hurtParalyzing from workSurgical solutionsMending the madnessContendingTending to transformationRestless to move on fromThis body I live inSkin stretched to its limitRipping apartA station to startInvasive incisionsFrom my inability to make decisionsTangible boundariesFeeling surroundedDigging up to establish a foundationRock bottom, a place for relationThe cross is at ground levelKeep your head on a swivelArticulating perspectiveConnecting the dotsFor a line of visionThe eyes of the heart see from withinMirrored motivesStudying devotionPicking up what's been brokenLending a helping handTurning on the lightsBrightening the sightPhysically, mentally, & spirituallyIroning out the wrinklesKeep it simpleLeveling the playing fieldMutual encouragementSymbolic to representA bond to connectThe language of the heartEncryptedCoded chaosCoursing throughAdhering in attitudeImprovements to includeConcluding to characterizePreparing for each, surprise

Enemy AttacksEmpty the enemyGod's love will, set you freeAs you're stepping into, your destinyThe darkness that lingersAs the enemy hindersMy surrenderTaking me back in timeBefore You were on my mindTransformationWill I make it?How do I embrace it?I can barely face itFaced feelingIs this how I'm feeling?Welcome willingnessWealth to investIdentifying the in speckThe suffering spotInflamedTo enraged to engageGod doing for me what I couldn't do for myselfActive actionTreading tractionAmazed by what's happenedNever easy in completionA trivial pursuitLetting looseUnwind the tense handsMaturing through recoveryDiscovering what's under meUndergroundWhere I get turned aroundSeeking a solutionFor removing what's withinUnconventional methodsBaffles the brainAiring out the attitudeComing to conclusions about the craniumIn this processOf finding purposeGive it a shotTo get lostExhaust the thoughtTo stop the talkChit-chatI've had enough of thatInventory the solidarityThis killing spreewithin meConquering the characterAndSicken the soulEmber and ashesBlowing off steamComing cleanThe light has been diminishedThough, the warmth remains acquittedSmoke signals arisingThe hope left for admiringAdmit the deficitApplying the rest of itLessons to retain dailyInstruments to find a rhythmHelping to make decisionsDirection, depicting, destination

* Inspired by the song Fire & Rain by James Taylor.   - Thank you for the challenge, JustinImprisoned & DistantMusing to mendMy brokennessBreaking newsChoking throughGone without goodbyeNow I sit here and cryReminiscing realityFear festering the fallacyTesting the watersSeeing how much of a botherGoing furtherTo get startedAt the end of myselfFinally ready to accept helpAltered terrainSanity shatteredIn a matter of secondsWith no way of turning back the hands of timeWhy was this designed?Without the badHow can there be any good?With no way to be understoodDriving off into the sunsetI won't soon forgetMemories mapped outTears shed through every accountRecounting the memoriesEngraved within meShaped by fireStudying the details of desireSculptedClay conformedMolding memoryForever tethered to beDetailing to presentResetting all that I resentSetting the tableOne last timeWaiting, with you in mind* Rest In Peace, Savana

Pursuing PurposeLooking for a purposeThat's been buried all this timeTil it's revealed in the right frame of mindYou're not that far awayThough it may seem that wayWhile the enemy is at playWishing he was at bayBeing consumed by the wavesWaves of emotionDisorientingDistractingCausing to reactNot equipped with all the factsOf how to actAttack the processProceed in the attractionAttained with passionRealizing assetsSorting to be setFor the questQuestioning the quirksHow does all this work?Wondering why I'm hereIn times that I can't see clearSteer me in the right directionHelp me understand Your affectionTo help with my inventory inspectionThe speck spotted from another personRevealing something stuck withinLearning worth to understand the wealthProgressing to improve my healthImplementing implied suggestionsWhile,Answering more, of the questions

Lamentations 3:22-23The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness!In times of doubtIt seems we are withoutUnable to seeWhere to goOr what to doBe reminded of what is most importantFix our eyes and mind on You, oh GodOur fortressThe firm foundationWhich can't be shakenShaking off the shacklesTo share our storyYour mercies new every morningNo matter what we've experienced in the pastIt doesn't have to lastResonating in the mindAll the timeNurturing the seed of faith to growInto abundancePreparing for any hardshipWith our worshipStudying the wordThe life maintenance manualUnderstanding identityRevealing purpose and callingWhere we are truly belongingFrom the guidance providedBy GodWhoDesigned us

SatisfySeeking to findWhat satisfies my mindOnly to findI was wrong all the timeOnly through YouShall I ever be completeThere's nothing in the worldThat could ever compete (x3)

Father GodYou are my providerRevealing blessings dailyAs my thoughts betray meYou sustain meWhatever may comeYour will shall be doneWhen it appears hopelessYou fix my focusAs the storms rage onWe carry onOvercomePersevereEndureNurtureNeeding consistent connectionAnd to continue learning lessonsPraise be to God, always!Forever & ever, Amen!

Lost In TranslationFlooding the floorI can't take this life anymoreOpening up the fleshTo help forgetPuncturing the painTo open the veinLet nothing remainBleeding out the disdainStaining sanitySaturated in sicknessI can't quit thisA room that I will never leaveBound to foreverI go in, but don't come out aliveFrom the life I deniedDead to the worldBeaten to a pulpI can't take another step

A Shipwreck In A BottleColliding with these barriersContradiction in conversationCollaboration on the invasionBuilding bubblesClosing in concern to burstFragile fragmentsFlying futilityThe illness that lives in meSurfacingWanting to be facedNot applying some kind of maskBut navigate head onSo, it doesn't rear its ugly headYet againThe worry some wavesBuilding from the tearsThrough the yearsBleed out the overflowSo, it has some where to goWhat shall I do with myself?Self-sacrificeTo solve the sickness

Hello Everyone!Welcome to Poetry By Taylor Fink!My name is Taylor Fink. Now that I've released ten of my poems, I'd like to do a little introduction. Over the past few years my writing has drastically developed. From journaling to this rhythmic articulation of experience. Expressing how I feel. As well as sorting through situations and seasons. Through this life journey. Only from what I've seen and felt. I can't speak for other people's experiences. That's not my story to tell.In life it can feel as though we are alone in this journey. The enemy in mind wants to carry us away from community, cutting us off from connection. We don't have to do life alone. Through connecting with those who have dealt with similar experiences, can form a common thread. Stitching together to build bonds. Through the connections can establish a brighter complexion.Poetry is powerfulThe words with the weight of the meaningSpeaking life for the anguish to releaseBleeding out the baggageA therapeutic outletMay you find your own outlet along this journeyAn outlet to plug intoDiscovering a common connectionWith people you can invest in
