Poem Title:
Poem
God as conscience is that inner voice within me, the infinite spirit that has formed my morals; a holy power that reminds me of my duty and scruples, and each day I thank God for his divine lessons. Childlike innocence has made me a prey, for wicked people who see me as an easy target; like a child spontaneous, trusting, a trustful fool, but I listen to the voice within and turn away. When I disobey the lessons I know are right, it never ends well, I run riot, a rebel lost; I ignore what is my moral code sometimes, God knows I am not perfect and gently speaks. Souls blue skies turn grey, murky and gloomy, and my heart and soul is bleeding my essence; but I reach out my hand to God and he holds me, darkness turns into azure and shadows are defeated. Betrayal by my hand is like a Judas kiss, when I have been unfaithful to my morals of life; I am let down in myself and will make penance, promise God that I can be a good faithful believer. Life's barren and bland without God on my side, everything is empty and parched and unfruitful; my life is dull and tedious, flat and nothing, I need my faith, I need God to be my true me. Until I awake to evil that seeks me always, for the devil takes many forms so I must be aware; vigilant, heedful, watchful with each person I meet, it is sad that I must be on guard but this is life. Dark desires forsake and yearnings tempt, but I must go slowly and carefully in my actions; be it passion or ambition, I must not surrender my faith to feed my cravings- I must be strong. _______________________ April 14, 2022 Poetry/Verse/The Voice Within Me Copyright Protected, ID 04-1447-827-14 All Rights Reserved, 2022, Constance La France Written for the Premier contest, Soul Betrayal sponsor, Unseeking Seeker, Judged 04/24/2022 Second Place
