Poem
Darkness settles around the heart Of one whose light trembles on the air As the sadness pours over the soul Who knows a loved one has gone away The struggle, the grief, is like a soft rain Never letting up, just wet enough To dampen the thoughts, the mind All the wondering of a weeping, mourning That never stops – it haunts and mocks Every tear that falls, every lonely ache Besieged by the faded call of such pain Dread empties its sorrow into the heart Who knows that gushing shade of black Never remembers it is meant to find rest Amid the hope that comes from the light Feelings of inspiration found on the inside Of a soul who sees that love is still alive Dancing to the tune of memories assured By their beauty and breath of tenderness Drifting on the wing kissed air of silent winds Shimmering in the sky, listening to the One Who remembers us – our hurt – our worry The reflections of darkness coloring us in hues Of madness – crazy colors of the tempest Who hisses fear through the ebony night Petrifying dread that grows a freezing alarm Over our hearts and souls, through our love Which comes alive with the assurance that He Will bind up our wounds, heal our grief And save us from the devil who is greedy For our pain, our anguish, our misery The darkness that shudders with the horror Of knowing that hatred will fight us Try to destroy all the love, hope and faith That live inside us to guide us and provide us With a grace which sustains, a grace that awaits When we simply say “I’m sorry” and let God Work out the details of our lives, our love The way we give and live, the way we will Become the children that He can fill with His Spirit He is the answer to every dark and dismal moment He never stills the joy and He never subdues the love He arranges for us to know Him the way we know hope He lets us know we’re His by the way we sense Him with us He is the Savior of the world and He is our personal Savior! He is the miracle of all miracles, the wonder of wonders… The light in my heart – the sparkle in my eyes The dream that never fades – the kindness that delights He is my entire life!
