Night Terrors

Night Terrors

Before the pink of the morning,
When all is dark awaiting,
My mind awakes and travels to
Places I thought I’d forsaken,
It shuffles with its stick, looking under the ashes,
For events so long unremembered,
And I, I’m shaken and waiting,
What does it all mean?  

Where is the peace of my Savior,
When I cry after reliving done and undone,
Or is He there, teaching me, purging my soul,
And with that thought, I lie in His arms of forgiving love.

What a beautifully-written poem Sunlite about finding solace, in the darkest moments, in faith, forgiveness and in the arms of the Lord. Wonderfully expressed and enjoyed! :)

I wrote a poem on this subject too Sunlite. I suffer from them, but lately they have dissipated. Stress brings them on. I can relate so well to your well written poem. Blessings Connie
