Poem
Where are you when the darkness closes in? Where are you when doubts destroy my dreams? Where are you when my faith has vanished, When the hopes have failed me and the past Seems like an echo of all the reasons I shouldn’t Have listened to your whispering – because Your wisdom doesn’t seem wise at all – Your insight seems like it’s lost its judgement And your perception has colored my confidence In hues of uncertainty, distrust and disillusionment Where are you when I really need a friend? When I need someone honest, tender and real? When there is no where else to turn – and The feelings make me tremble with fear, Drown in my own tears, lack the reasoning To know what it is that really brings me peace? Where are you when I feel so alone – so in need? Listen, dear heart… To my silent thoughts, the sigh That so often hurts, the smile That is really filled with questions The longing that is filled with desperation Listen, dear heart… To all the memories, faded prayers The reasons that I know I’m to blame For the melancholy and the dread, The fiascos and the let downs, All the reasons that I have for turning A deaf ear to you, the voice Who gives my heart a reason, a cause The sense… To listen to the faith, the hope The wonder and the grace The feeling that I know is love Beckoning me away from the pain, Silencing the darkest days with The light that never fades, the light That comes from the heart… Who believes, without a doubt… In the love that never fades out! DEAR HEART Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Mystic Rose Rose January 29, 2023
