Save Me, That I May Rise Again To Stand

Save Me, That I May Rise Again To Stand

Where it that good-morrow brought thee again
save my broken soul from love-lust in sin!
Heal my heart, stop my nights of great sorrows
offer thy hand, promise of tomorrows.

Thinking back to love-nights we never slept
agony, I fell and viciously wept.
O' my love, allow me one more soft kiss
grant mercy, giveth this saddest soul bliss.

Remember vows, we swore to never break
in this dear Hope my life, I gladly stake.
My daily prayer, sends pleas for thy hand
Save me, that I may rise again to stand.

Where it that good-morrow brought thee again
save my broken soul from love-lust in sin!

R.J. Lindley
NOV.17TH 1975

Note- This poem was written while in a fallen state of despair
from a lost love, and broken soul laid bare.
A youth that raced to drown sorrows, only to find more and deeper misery in the drowning.

Hi Robert, once more an emotional piece is laid before us. As i always say i love to read poetry and feel. Whatever the emotion, i want to feel. I always get that when i read your work. One can feel the despair and sadness. Your words touch the heart so deeply. The journey through your words is always worth the taking Robert. Excellent work. This is a seven and a fave. Your Friend always....Mike.

Thank you Lynn.. Some of my many tribulations were born of the need to burn away my great pride and hard heart.. A cleansing that took many decades but one that born the much desired and needed fruit..
