Poem
alone, forlorn, lonely with a heart darkened by sorrows I felt my thoughts become like arrows Piercing through my lost happiness Lost and abandoned by pleasure My feelings were like tears falling On the heart that beat gloomily within Reminding me that I was haunted By failures, faults and flaws Desolation weakened my hopes shouted through the silence in despair making me aware that I was without a chance of finding the answers to soothe away my pain Vanished were the dreams that breathed light Into the blackness of a mournful night Leaving only tragedy in hues of silvery gray And feelings of solemn grief to give me the chance To know that my dreams didn’t have the grace To discover the brilliance found when fate Brings the feathery sight of butterfly delight Alone, forlorn, lonely With a heart darkened by sorrows I felt my thoughts become like arrows Piercing through my happiness Until love burst through, like starry flames Filling up my soul with joyous rays From the sensations that happen when someone prays And a heart is lifted from the shadows Taken into the light that melts away the blackness And colors the entire heart in crimson praises For the One who knows that love Can relieve any dread that comes With a sense of the peace of God Who answers prayers with the assurance That real love is the answer to every fear And God knows, in His wisdom, how to bring cheer! The ultimate surprise comes alive When, finally, I see God’s light! Surprise Me Poetry Contest Sponsored by: charles messina June 21, 2021
