Broken and Risen

When you are struck to the ground by struggles bolt
When the pain of lies, betrayal, and secrets unfold
Gazing upon the cliff of life's mountain
Holding in the pain with all that your might can,
Hold out your hands and touch the sky
Watch as the clouds pass you by
Let the wind carry your pain away
Do not think of what stands in your way
Just close your eyes and forget the past
It’s just a moment that already last
Then think of the future and what it holds
Because it’s the only story that's never been told
Reach out for God and he will help you
For he has done for me the same way too
Then open your eyes and do not lose hope
For the prizes are given at the end of the rope

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
