This photo I took inspired this poem, yesterday. I was in deep despair when I took it, and was waiting for my ride for evening church.... And somehow, I randomly typed that poem on instagram as a way of choosing hope, rather than depression. :3

Birthday Countdown: Strengthen Me


FOR MY DEAR FRIEND, CAT_BAZOOKA!

Strengthen Me

Copyright © 2015 Mari Fahel McKimzey

I love you
yet I fear you
I am afraid
of surrendering

I call you
yet I push you
I do not want
to live in terror

I need you
yet I leave you
and abandon
you for cold shadows

I want you
but I am scared
Scared to give you
My every part

Strengthen me
Encourage me
Help me be brave
In this day and age

I don’t want
to hide always
I want to be
strong in only you

I need to
Trust in your love
believe with all
my heart and soul

But it’s hard
to trust what one
Can’t see or hear
but here’s my life

Help me to
release hold of
my fear, worries
and bitterness

I want to
forgive these hurts
Seventy times
seven, forgive

FOR MY BUDDY, CARA B.!

When I listened to a song, I was inspired to create this. In it I wanted to express Christ taking on the full wrath of God, represented as the flame, and the blood that flows from the middle heart... There are supposed to be 12 spirals that stand for the 12 disciples, and then the hearts that are on the outer rim spreading through the end of time, some fading into darkness and others standing in the light.

FOR MY BELOVED SISTER, SAVANNAH!

In this piece, "Twinkling Thoughts" I was trying to express the thoughts that overwhelm those with bipolar. The stars in her hair and clouds in her skin represent mania, the light and rain represent healing and recovery, the locked shining heart represents the light we lock up. and the brick wall and the fade represents isolation and depression.

FOR MY DEAR BROTHER-IN-CHRIST, JEREMY!
Copyright © 2015 Mari Fahel McKimzey

In this piece, Blood Bound, I was trying to make Jesus and the girl look one... trying to make her hair look like part of the cross and the cross to look like the fire within our soul, the blood to look like it's deep cleansing her with light... I used fire and shapes and arranged them then make it... My goal was to express the unity of Christ and His Bride...

For Charleston, SC & Lake Worth, FL

My heart breaks for Charleston... This kind of thing has never happened in South Carolina in my lifetime... and to have it happen in the place where my daddy was raised... And knowing friends and family that are in Charleston... Then it happening again in Lake Worth, FL makes this more of a reality for me... this could've been my father, my sister, my mother, my brother... My daughters and sons... This could have been your father, your sister, your mother,your brother... Your daughters and sons.... These are our brothers and sisters in Christ... Can we not pray for comfort and love to wash over these families? For, the truth about it is... they are our family. Be there for the ones that are left behind in prayer. These hearts are so broken and hurt... Remember, dear brothers and sisters, the LORD is with you in your grieving... It is so hard to find words to say for you all, the only way I know to express myself is through art and music with a broken heart for you all... </3
