My Pen and My Soul

My pen and I Blood, ink to my verse Spoken words of doubt taunt me Solid shades of wisdom, many to see My heart looks at me and sighs Am I truly lost, I walk with no direction Yet I find comfort in the waves Waves of many, whom too are lost as I How I didn't even notice that joy was absent in my life Has my heart truly hardened? At least I fear the world less So many point fingers, hypocrites! They judge as they too are guilty What happens next, love is rare This world used to be a loving place All ends and so does life Taking dreams and faith alike The shadow of man will remain But the faith? Where did it go The son of man died for you And yet many see it not In you Jehovah the most high god I place my spirit May my heart serve you well at your will Amen.

Inspiring, creative and spiritual. I'm so glad I found this poem, Edward. And I like the way you end it with those last two lines. I feel your love for God and your commitment to Him. "May my heart serve you well at your will." You speak for me and many others in this poem. And I've noticed you know the poetic forms well. I have tried, but not much seems to stick. However, God helps me overcome this deficit by putting new poem rhythms in my head that guide my writing. :)

Well said Edward, I do know that faith remains, your faith is one example. Keep looking up, the world may dissapoint but our God never will.
