Poem
Born into November, just past autumn Almost winter, yet still walking over the crisp Colors, scarlet and gold, bold carpets Covering the ground, an earthly promise To those who know that somewhere, spring Is waiting in the darkness, echoing Its music, dancing in flaming daffodils and tulips, Hoping to arrive just before the heart Finds itself beating with the dance, the chance To find amusement in the miracle of a snowflake The tenderness of the silent night, the grace Beneath the stars who seem so wise – so alive The years wore through my innocence Eventually training me to listen to the spiritual Words in scriptures, in peace – serenity Fading beyond the shadows who foretold of faith Belief in the prayers who I would ever speak, Pleading with the Father for His mercy, His compassion The blessings that would forever agree To soothe away my darkness, my doubt, the dread That kept me in a hollow place, location of lies, depression Despair that told me I didn’t have a way, there was pain Beyond the words, beyond poetry, beyond the heartbeat Pain that remembered every dishonor and shame, Every feeling of doubt, the dreams just wouldn’t come out I was lost somedays – in the ache, hurting Tears flowing like dew against a petal, sliding Haphazardly along the lines of my cheek, beckoning The silence to speak, the memories to believe The skies to fill up with their stars, glistening like the tears, Promising to cure all my anguish, destroy my grief Bring the peace that would assure me that my Father, The One I had been praying to and saying to… Listen, hear me – I’m alive here in this darkness Take away this sorrow and bring me through tomorrow With your gentle touch, kiss me with your love When I remember, though – the pain is always reduced To a nip, only a mention of the darkness, a silhouette Surrounding my thoughts, stirring my verse, my vision With heartbreak, dread – feelings that are led my fear Poignant and weakened by the chains of suspicion, Lingering in the pessimistic, the murkiness, misty Clouds passing over the luminous light of a day filled With kindness, pregnant with laughter, happily ever after The conclusion to knowing the One who brought me through His love a breathing thing, a sweetness, a moment When wonder covered in kindness breeds hope and faith Bringing to life the miracle of a love that is eternally burning Away the darkness, surrounding my life in all that is beautiful With God as the pilot, I am bound to survive this ride we named life
