Faith Is a Powerful Thing

Faith is a powerful thing




Faith in Him was about to fade,
Absolute darkness and weary jade,
In my head and heart though lived a spark,
The dying hope flew as high as skylark,
His enormous blessings flooded at gate,

Iridescent colours brightened the day,
Succour found swirling in spillway,

Aura of positivity did spread its wings,

Paring all the woes of a harsh spring,
Of the chilled winters and falls of autumn,
Weathers changed but stayed the faith,
Euphony that set the melody in life,
Reminiscence of joys and no strife,
Fierce pain that pierced the heart,
Unfathomed passion that tore apart,
Lionise a feeling strongest of all,

To make believe that thoughts do live,
His ways are strange to take and give,
Incurable, innocuous to insufferable,
Nautical sun when goes red  at horizon,
Gold of faith scintillates at the furnace !

You were right to keep faith in this inspired poem, Upma! We might not always understand His ways, but deep down we know that they are to be trusted. ~ Congratulations!! // paul

Very uplifting write, Dr Sharma. I really like the way you'll tend to leave articles out in some of your work. The effect is a rolling flow that lends a sort of big picture intimacy (if I may use an oxymoron!) to the feeling of the piece. Congrats on your win! xoxo LyLy
