Poem Title:
Poem
It is a secret You’re afraid to reveal Too much of your heart You’re afraid, so you conceal The real you, the real truth The hues of hope and faith The sweetness of such grace It is a worry You’re too aware of A darkness that hurries To dim your sparkle, to dissuade Your kindness, your blazing Spirit, your warmth and sincerity The feelings that make you believe In the brilliance of a light… That pours out over the blackest night It is a doubt You’re ashamed to speak of A discouragement, a dread – clouding Out all the good, the amazement, The wonders that assure the soul There is a joy that grows and grows, A miracle so abundant it consoles, Phenomenal love, compassion so perfect It is a lonely ache Surviving the hopes in your heart, Isolation from the whisper of grace, Seclusion from the chance To reach out to someone with faith, Smile through the burning of a past Where you didn’t know kindness or the Meaning of relationship – fulfillment It is a detested place Where there is no honesty or thanks Where light never makes its way Through the desperation, the grief, the despair That seems to penetrate each inspiration With seeds of distrust and reservations, Suspicions that keep you from the answers, The trust that stirs your heart to assurance It is there, in the shadows Where hearts are broken and spirits Are destroyed by the sorrow and pain, The endless feelings of loss and disgrace The abundance of miseries and mysteries Who make life feel like a horror tale Instead of the promising narration of inspirations… The poetry of a life who is guided By the hand of One who knows The heart is made up of more than one Poem, more than one tale, more than one Verse that leads to the conclusion, the victory Comes in believing that the ending, the finish line Will bring a reassurance, a confidence, more penetrating than the Past could possibly destroy with its uncertainty and malice! The poetry of a life – is created by Listening to His love – His light Breathing softly, gentling… All the dark shadows and strife And - FEAR is the final sacrifice!
