Notes About The Poem

Written on February 10, 2024

His Will

If He wasn’t the answer,
Answering every need, every doubt,
Even the fear – He persuades,
To leave, whispers of ash in its path,
Reasonable worries, darkness
Dims the hopes, the dreams, the prayers…

But, He answers…

Yes, sometimes.
And, from there, we reason,
His blessings are more vibrant,
Tantalizing in hues of joy,
Laughing at the blazing fires,
Passions in hearts who believe…

He answers,
When we least expect His presence.
He is there, reassuring even the air,
We breath, in prayers – still and silent,
Soothing away the doubts, the dread,
Fears – rising rapid like the waves,
Forcing our feelings to panic – then,
He reminds us that He is there, always,
Forever, like the grace He brings,
When He saves us, forgiving the shadows,
That remember when…

We refused to listen to the voice,
His still, small voice…
Quieting the winds and remembering
Without Him, we couldn’t even live.
Without Him, we would be emptiness,
Nothing at all – only His will makes us real.

Dear Regina, What a beautiful and deeply personal exploration of faith and doubt. strength lies in its raw honesty, moving between moments of questioning and unwavering belief. Your ending leaves a powerful message of surrender and acceptance, and that true fulfillment lies in embracing His will. What a moving testament found within faith. Many Blessings, Regina! - Daniel
