Dark To Light --- Soul

My soul emaciated, starved since birth
  A cold ebony soul  that has no worth
Love, feelings, emotion, nothing but words
Lasso of Hell pulls me with the unsaved herds

God had a purpose for this blackened  Soul
He started with  His Grace, to cleanse my Soul
A Purification that made me whole, a Redeemed SOUL
GOD'S LIGHT surrounds me : Thank-YOU GOD for I am Whole

Excellent one! This is going in my favorites for sure. I love the last stanza. And the first I can relate to tremendously. Once again, excellent job! Always, Laura

Wow, Were there movements with your poem here. Healing changes your spirit just as you said. which i believe that makes your precious memories even more cherished to think about.Because you are calmer, and your thoughts are more so positive.so when that happens, your mind, grants you with the thing that you want most.and you are more aware, that it will happen one point in time. I am glad of your poem.but just always know that you never have to be "afraid" of 'anything'. -Always&Forever Lynn
