Richard Lamoureux Poet Quatrain

Tangled

I kept getting tangled 
in the thoughts that I thunk 
To many problems
intertwined with old junk

The who and the why
the where and the what
None could be answered
to many doors had been shut

I wanted clear cut answers
so I looked to my dreams
But my mind kept on slipping 
seeping out at the seams

What I needed was quiet
to escape the voices in my head
So I cleared my mind fully
as I lay in my bed

I heard a small whisper
“Your problems aren’t you’re own,
I’ve always been here with you
I’d never leave you alone.”

Peace came over me
I was finally at rest
Jesus took all my burdens
and I became truly blest.

Timothy Hicks April 11, 2021 at 8:02 AM Nice to remember no matter how tangled one gets ... there’s an “untangler” always on hand. You have good reflections and thoughts here. Easy to spin in circles in one’s head ... Jesus is a good sedative to keep the doubts at bay.

Paul Callus February 4, 2021 at 3:02 PM We can definitely tackle our problems better with a little help from our 'friend', Richard! Regards / paul

Cecilia Macfarlane February 2, 2021 at 10:25 AM Richard, a beautiful write and message to us all. Hugs

Angela Crabtree February 2, 2021 at 9:02 AM A great poem, Richard. In the end our faith will get us through the dark times. Hope you're having a great week :)

Anitha Jayasankar February 2, 2021 at 12:52 AM Loved this Richard. Many will relate. We all have so many questions in our head that keep popping up often, faith and prayers give solace. A stong faith and belief that we are safe in God's pure hands and cultivating the ability to go with the flow of God's master plans with a cheerful mind.. will help a lot. God bless. ~ Ani

FJ Thomas January 16, 2021 at 5:25 PM Ahh a faith based beauty Rick. I could identify with you through each stanza, not expecting the ending, and was happy to see that I could still identify with you at the end. Take care Rick

Jennifer Proxenos January 15, 2021 at 9:00 AM A very lovely loving cute poem, Jesus came to your rescue and I'm sure all your worries and thoughts melted into oblivion. Such a superb poem my friend. I feel like you sometimes, my reaction is going to Church lighting a candle and sitting silently for the time I need, to talk to God. Hugs, and blessings, Jennifer.

Frances Byrne January 8, 2021 at 11:49 PM Hi Richard, Lovely inspiring write. It reminds me of Footprints, have you ever read it? I pray morning and night, and more when I need to, to our Father Jehovah through his son Jesus. They are what gets me through. Look after yourself. Frances
