A Lament
I have swallowed the poison...
suffered through darkness.
I have tasted the ashes,
lived in utter lostness.
I remember the pain
when hitting bottom;
desperate I dreaded,
what I had become.
To be punished for sin,
how dare I complain!
Is The Lord not my life
from whence I came?
I have entered The Light!
My Soul has been taken.
God proves to be Faithful,
To The called He's awakened!
Milton L. Delgado
Inspired By The Book of Lamentations
