Chris Hagy Poet Rhyme

Awake

This ticking clock it just won’t stop
And the tortured soul won’t let me go
So I stand alone in what I know
While my sanity bleeds this blood red flow
So much easier to just go along
Forget my discernment and accept what’s wrong

Yet like the one who stood for me
I stand alone in what I believe
And I feel the madman smile at me
Quite content in all he has deceived
But it only gives me stronger faith
Knowing my soul he will never take

For the purest of loves he cannot fake
And more than ever I am Awake
Religion blinds my eyes no more
God’s power speaks to my very core
Faith doesn’t simply believe… it knows
That’s when the power of spirit flows

And how much stronger than all deceivers
Is the powerful spirit in all believers
Waiting for the inevitable change
And the wondrous day for which prophets sang
When evil is gone from remembrance of the earth
And thankful spirits return to the place of their birth…

And the clock will tick no more

Lynn Marie April 11, 2017 at 5:51 PM This is an amazing, inspiring poem. The 'ticking clock' is very creative, I feel the strength in your words. I remember a reply you wrote saying you were a broken soul and from your poems, you are far from it. We all have issues, if we didn't we wouldn't be human or dead inside and that's not living. Caring for animals and nature as you do is an incredible inner strength of faith to persevere as you do. Love and faith is the light within you. Your poetry shows us all this beautifully Chrisxx Chris Hagy April 12, 2017 at 4:08 PM Thanks for reading Lynn, always enjoy your visits!:) You are right everyone has baggage. Maybe broken soul was the wrong word...wounded, scarred... but yes...stronger and wiser for it:) Have great day:)

I hope you laugh with me when I tell you it's Mrs. Hagy...I know it's spelled just like a boy, but I'm all girl...funny fact, i received a notice to sign for the draft when i turned 18 addressed to Mr. Chris ----
