Poem Title:
Poem
Caught up in the shadowy, Silhouettes dancing, trembling Like wings in breathless Whispers, erasing all the fearless Memories, blending worry With confusion, desperation Despair and sin’s onslaught stirring Anxiety, stalking the heart like Burdens and struggles, troubling Even the light that remains, Where history portrays the limits Restricting prayers, praise, portions Fragments of the heart’s faith, Hope lifted to the skies who hemorrhage Like stardust doubts falling, shadowy, Reflecting the glistening promises Destiny calling like the mystery Anonymous glimmering in the heavens, Wiping away the way it seems, Replacing the moments with memories, Hurrying life with a sense of relief Knowing that this is the grace, Bringing awake the gentling faith Darkness surrounds my spirit Bringing with it the sound of fear, The desperation and dread, the doubt Dooming my spirit to listening Beneath the hope, silence Explaining away the music, the dream The beautiful that pleads with me Believe, believe, believe – nothing Lives there in the shadowy suspicions, The reservations and misgivings Are only memories who know that When I believe -there is victory The shadows become moments Pleasant flashes of feeling, Enthusiastic and blessing me So I believe and in the believing Discover my hearts reason for being, My soul’s reason for achieving, My life’s reason for bringing the feelings The beautiful, the blessings – Into the light, where I can see There is more splendor in my heart When I let the shadowy places melt away Delighting in the presence, the love Of One who created me to always pray For the chance to know, to believe With a heart that never doubts or despairs, A soul that imagines only the goodness Found in the presence of His grace… With faith, the shadowy sadness Fell away and I know what it is to say – Love never fades, never fails – never Flees – it is forever, like the King of Kings!
