Notes About The Poem

I Saw God, But Now What Poetry Contest, Sponsor - Unseeking Seeker. Date written: 04/16/2024

I Saw God, But Now What

Once faithless;
hopelessly trapped
in isolating darkness, I began
searching for God,
and he came to me
in prayer.

He whispers to me...
               "Do not be afraid; take my hand"...

Lost with no way to turn,
I sought refuge in the Lord.
He led me
out of the darkness
and bathed me
with his resplendent light.

He took my despair
and gave me hope.
After regaining
my spiritual balance;
my faith in him,
restored and stronger than ever...

Never again will it waver.
Now I believe there's a power
greater than myself.
After God's gift 
of salvation, I'll never 
stray from him...

again.
