Poem Title:
Poem
She is anxious Like the rushing wind She bleeds worry Because she fears within She is insecure, an exposed doubt Vulnerable to rejection, to the Unlocked shame, regret So dark it has no name She is afraid to listen To the sunlight and the stars As they dust her feelings With gentling whispers, kisses Like reflections of kindness Wonders dancing to the silence, Singing grace over the night Releasing her from the darkness She is troubled by the waves Pain, dread – dismay Wherever her heart smiles There seems to be self-doubt Clouding the caress That might give her stress reprieve, Her worry – comfort and support, Releasing her from the shadows With reflections of sweetest joy She isn’t my friend yet She doesn’t trust the intentions When I give her my best gift, A mention of His spirit, But, I hope – one day, she will listen When I tell her that there is hope It is written in His book And on the hearts of those who know He is the reason there is love That destroys every worry – LOVE That releases the heart from the darkness Bringing light that erases all burdens! Someday, I hope she listens… To the calling of His gentleness, To the courage that created us, The still, small voice that is trembling… Eager to convict and bring salvation to her, Writing her name in His book of life… With a pen that erases all pain and strife! Pick-A-Title, Vol 34 - Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Edward Ibeh Title Chosen: 3.) Navigating Through Life's Highway January 22, 2023
