Listen

There is a dark place from winst I came I could not see, did not know my name So cold and alone did I feel No hope at all, I would not-could not heal. From within that place the light that shines I saw I heard a tiny whisper, a new name I heard Him call Whose voice is this I hear from these depths from which I tread? What is that light I see It looks like hope instead of fear maybe I'm not dead Not really understanding why, I seemed not to crawl but to fly out of that deep dark hole I saw a bright star cry I remember vividly as if it were happening now Such joy filled my heart Such happiness, such bliss- Upon my spirit a new life came to exist. Still today, each day, I thank Him I close my eyes to the worldly wise and all He asks is, "Listen".

Hi, Lori,, 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 <-@
