The Rising

Crushed beneath a heavy yoke 
                             She passed out from the pain
                            A Gentle voice spoke, she awoke
                             Pure water washed blood stain

                               The burden had been lifted
                                   He'd hoisted it away
                           She blinked away her tears to see
                               A bright and hope filled day

Thank you Janice, I am very taken with the spiritual aspect that reached out to me through the darkest time of my life.... it was...unexpected. I acknowledge that if it were not for God, the darkness would have swallowed me whole. I cannot help but share my deepest gratitude to Him throughout my poetry. I'm glad you saw it <3 I appreciate your kind words!
