In Your Eyes

The wind brushes the earth, a calm breeze enchants the dancing trees As if they took to life and ran off with me, oh the beauty that I saw was breath-taking She gave fruit as God commanded, her hair flew in all directions, a season of new life To see the cycle begin again, and all old was brought forth anew So many greens, yellows and oranges I saw, a vivid image emerged in my mind I remember of my past, memories that fill the heart in joy Some tears still appear, bringing with them lots of fear, errors to relive and weep about I question my self in part, oh weary troubled heart will you fail me now? I have come to see myself past the lenght of reason given by God Immortal? Cursed pleas my soul and I smile to the face of death itself For I will come to beat her in spirit, let it feast on my flesh that nourishes just as dust Dust I was, and dust again I shall be A ugly feeling drowns in my tears of salt, tears that dry only to remind of pain My sky angers an awful roar that even the ocean splits My cloud pours on me, cold and bitter I fall to sit and rethink of life It ends now, but my spirit dwells in the eyes of the Lord Father I forget about You at times for my mind is only of flesh and blood But I ask that if I come to forget, you would only keep me in your graace God I love you, and I leave my all to Your will I fade into nothing, the golden gates appear and I see Jesus, Amen

This is wonderfully written! The words hold truth and sincerity-all to His honor and glory! Life can be hard but we do well to remember that we are never alone! Thanks for commenting on my poem. I will continue to enjoy yours also. Peace, always, Audrey (Ladybug12)

Another poignant write I am reading today. Beautifully written, expressing beauty and agony, the peace and the war within. The desire of the mind and the desires of the flesh at war, needing God's help to win and find peace through His Son. Nice write. Thanks for sharing, Caroline.

Very powerful. If there is anything that the world can agree on it is that we are all but "flesh and blood", and sometimes faith, no matter what god or gods it is directed towards is the only way to face the day.

Dear Edwardo, Your inspirational poem has impressed me a lot- Reverence and aesthetics combined together has generated this awe inspiring work. Thanks for your enlightened comment on my poem Disguise. I quote here a Quatrain from my book Rubai'yat of Josh Malihabadi - A Drop & the Ocean (Second Edition): Soft and delicate sounds unheard/ And palaces of flowing silk all are weird/ Every new leaf has a concealed dagger/ In fragrance of each rose is a hidden sword/ - Mohammad
