Poem Title:
Poem
It aches in my spirit, the heartfelt music of stillness clinging to the breath, tender erasing the melody of gentleness restoring the memory a sense of what if… being revealed on the gray thoughts, the shadows risking it all to tell the heart what is coming – the dread of knowing life’s shame colored in flames of yearning, hungry urges, thirsty for the light… the knowing, that He is bright singing on the wonder, dazed by everlasting peace who blesses away the silhouettes memories fading into the jungle of regret, will time forget? the seeds of yesterday, erasing the still he walks slowly, old as the quiet who reveals what it means to seek solace in the music of trees, leaves dancing trembling with grief who sees beyond the memories, to the hesitant shape a heart who ignores the remorse, pouring out its guilt, its sorrow, its lament for those who remember… twilight’s glistening, stars revealing will forever reach out and take him, as I mourn the face of a past where he hated me, loathing my innocence, my destiny – forbidden gentleness will he see the truth that was hidden in a heart whose rhythm was a naked soul, who came from his coveting, but would never do justice to the fervor, the storm, the anger that expressed what is missed when a father reminds a daughter this life, this love, this silence it is more than hurt feelings and rejection, more than the quiet destiny, this is the breeding ground, God’s garden, where we learn about love that never dies, love that decides for us… is he thinking of the time, the past the music that plays on and on does he regret? will time decide or reject will he ever know that my heart reflects what it means to see the peace, hear the music of grace, the salvation that comes to those who simply believe love came down, to save us from – not only hell but from the devil who stabs at our peace, the enemy who fractures our truth with doubts and disillusion, fear and confusion. but we see through the veil who has ripped us from the darkest hell and brought us to the light, where we meet with Jesus Christ and remember, even when sin seems to win there is One who never allows us to give in… He restores our souls with grace He always makes a way, through faith He is the love that abides and I’ll praise even when the darkness tries to take away the light of His love, the hope from above, the reason I know… He is deep in my soul and, whatever comes, His love surely wins. In the father, in the child, His blessings abide.
