Reality Matters
"Heavy hearts like heavy clouds in the sky, are best relieved by the letting of a little water"
- Christopher Morley
When reality stings
and life sorrow brings,
When dreams dissipate
under the hand of fate,
When hopes are dashed
in a seismic world smashed,
Ineffable woes
lash in heavy dose,
Tearful soul cries out,
"In silence I shout",
Promises are broken,
harsh words spoken,
Grieving heart longs for calm,
"Please spread some balm",
Why does life deceive?
Is there no reprieve?
Feelings and heartaches,
troubled eye dam breaks,
Disappointments kill,
love does not fulfil,
When tears stain my pen,
where do I go then?
To the Lord, I cry,
He dries my sad eye,
He tells me, "Be still",
New hope does instil,
His promises are true,
He will see me through,
In His Word, I rest,
Peace reigns, I am blessed.
