Rob Carmack Poet Rhyme

To Trust

I walked beyond the ease of youth,
and refused the prosperity
given to an ignorant mind.
Over years you revealed the truth;
every heart morbidly aligned,
leaves nothing seen with clarity, 
lapses into vulgarity.
Utter disgust seeps out of me,
spiritually I now see.
Convicted a past void and dead,
carved sand dunes of Indian red.
The one way back, God's call will sing
a new impassioned coloring,
it will always cost everything.
In every season of a loss,
get back up to lean on The Cross.
Written in the books of Heaven,
three hidden measures of leaven.
Belief begins to underwrite
the end of sorrows — have to trust,
to endure and finish the fight, 
hanging onto your word, I must.

Sigrid Ermine November 13, 2024 at 1:57 PM Your Trust verse strikes readers as a realisation, that has unfolded. Whole write has a calm after storm feel, - your graduation into a spectrum from being crystal clear. Hope you’re anlways inspired, Rob.

Your thoughts caress gently around my heart. ~ Brandy Brandy Nicole February 9, 2020 at 8:00 PM I like this verse. Many wonderful blessings to you. ~ Brandy Rob Carmack February 9, 2020 at 7:40 PM For the really tough ones, I think about Revelation 21:4 "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away". Thanks for reading & commenting. God Bless You Brandy.

Christopher Flaherty January 15, 2020 at 5:34 PM In God we Trust Not his Men Christopher Flaherty January 16, 2020 at 5:54 PM Especially from those in positions of power who run our institutions we turn to in our of need for justice Rob Carmack January 16, 2020 at 5:47 PM Indeed, trust is so crucial, saves a lot of wasted time worrying.

Robert Lindley January 15, 2020 at 5:25 PM Faith is trust in the Light of Truth- in the divinity of the Holy Trinity. We that are mere specks of flashing dust, fail to see that Light, Love, Faith,Forgiveness and Truth are the five keys. Superb and on the mark poem with an important message on faith and our blinded path on earth. A fav- and a gleaming gem too. Rob Carmack January 16, 2020 at 5:46 PM Thank you Robert and God Bless You.
