Poem
My heart egos and my life drained from me Simple life I live, I act as I know all But I know not, no, not even a little I earnestly seek for recognitions But my life and my heart is a hole. An empty vessel, soulless, loveless I have been succumb by the pain of heart aches I have become a broken man, Know not what my future holds I envy those who went before me, who were acknowledge I hold on to the little shred of hope in me, I am being drowned by my own sorrows. Love, hate, a new beginning and ending of my old self never seems to happen My wrath against my enemies is nothing for they humor me with insults. Let not death come to me in misery and despair, For life is full of joy and full of sorrows. Love me, as who would love a stranger from nowhere. Let my sorrows be taken away by the love of many But at last, no one would. Don’t cry for me, for no one knows me They came before my grave and said “who is this man?” “Why is the name not written?” It is not written because I am nothing Don’t shed a tear for the stranger such as me. Life is like a dream on a calm sea, As the captain gracefully steer and gently moves its rudder. The passenger puts their lives in his hands, A calm sea is the heaven of any sailor. “So, where is my captain?” The wind blows every so gently, But my heart sinks gently into the sea; Who will mourn for the stranger? Drowned from my grief, My faith begins to waver like a ship tossed around by the winnowing wind My heaven, my calm sea turns against me as I sail the Galilean sea “Where are thy words that calm the raging storm?” Ay! I have no peace even in my passing. I have not thy words of command, For my faith has been tossed away by the hating winds, Shallow, empty, and broken I lay here in an unnamed grave. Only thy mercy will guide me to the third heaven! Let my sorrows be washed away by the blood of the innocent lamp. Let thy words be the honey drops for mine, As this world knows only lies Blinded by greed and lust, They seek only to destroy of what they fear. And my sorrows are tossed away by thy promises. For thy compassion for lost sheep is great. "Have I found peace?" I have, for I know my heart is at rest when my body has aged And my salvation has come When I died with thy Words of truth
