Poem
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10 The lie, twisted and distorted, Wrapped haphazardly around valor, Seeking to destroy the strength, Pursuing the panicked, the distressed With worries, anxieties, dread That deafens the words of creativity. The lie, wound around the purpose, Distorted as the demon’s intentions, Perverted nights and desperation, Cruel and bitter doubts, Piercing through the promise of peace, Who washes away the darkness. The lie, listening for the hope, Deafening inspiration with warped seas, Melancholy and defeat, Reasoning with the soul’s belief, Reaching beneath shadows of grief, As aching wounds flow in weakest terrors. The lie, signaling to the joy, Hasty to survive the heart’s wishes, Exaggerating distrust, inflating cynicism, Phobias challenge the faith, the feelings, When courage reaches beyond the silence, Into the wintery colors of anticipation. The lie, rising from the flames of failure, Growing strong on nutrients of disasters, Erasing the music of laughter, Collapsing the promise of acceptance, Causing the soul to believe its apprehension… Isn’t just fear, but authenticity – so sincere. The lie, writes darkness in the shadows, Sends the soul feelings of depression, Defines the light as merely a reflection – Moving through the days, despairing of the grays – Who tempt the life with second chances – To just see past the fear, into the soul’s daring,… Where the lie ends – in the beautiful winds of nerve, Found in those who can see past the fear, Into the faith that makes a way through every doubt – Faith that agrees with the grace that can see… Beneath the cowardice of the lie, the fear’s fire Will surely be blown out by the curls of God’s breath.
