Eye See the Day

Nights have been dark
Days have been dim
My vision became apart,
Of the poisoned root & blemishing stem
Now the wool has set
And I can finally be
A radiant child to God’s eyes
Because there’s a brighter day I can see
I see a vast season of bliss
Sunlight of new growth
Old attitudes will whither
Rain of new seeds will soak
Clouds of pain will migrate
For I now see the sky
New life soars through my heart
All peril life is sure to die
No longer am I blind
To what God has in store for me
I shall receive with sincerity
And look forward to the day I see

Brandon Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
