Long Upliftingfaith Poems

Faith and Fear

SHE AWOKE WITH 
A SENCE OF PRIDE
NOT KNOWING THAT 
HER FAITH WOULD BE TESTED
AND HER FEAR…

AS THE SUN WAS BLAZING
DOWN ON HER WEAK AND
DEHYDRATED BODY 
HER THOUGHTS OF SURVIVAL
TURNED INTO STONE

HER FEET COULD NOT
TAKE THE RAGE OF 
THE SCORCHING DESERT
SAND AND HER BATTLE 
FOR LIFE BECAME FLAGGING

HER TORTURED BODY
COLLAPSED IN THE 
MIDDLE OF ENDLESS 
SAND DUNES AND SHE…
SHE WAS LEFT TO DIE
AND FOR THE SAVAGED 
VALTURES TO FEAST 
ON HUMAN FLEASH

SHE LAY THERE WITH 
NO STRENGTH…


SHE WANTED TO GIVE UP
SHE WANTED DEATH 
TO COME AND TAKE HER AWAY
BUT JUST BEFORE SHE
COULD NO MORE…

SHE FELT SOMETHING
INSIDE OF HER…
IT FELT LIKE FREASH
AND ICE COLD WATER THAT
SHE EAGERLY DESIRED
FOR SO MANY DAYS


ALL OF A SUDDEN 
SHE WAS FILLED 
WITH NEW STRENGTH
AND HER WILL POWER 
WAS FILLED TO THE MAX

SHE COULD NOT UNDERSTAND
WHY SHE FELT SO POWERFUL 
AND ALIVE 
AND WHY HER COURAGE
CAME BACK TO PICK HER UP

WITH A NEW LIFE SHE STOOD
UP AND CONTINUED TO
WALK UNTILL SHE CAME
TO A VILLAGE…

TO HER AMAZEMENT 
SHE CAME TO REALIZE…
IT WAS HER VILLAGE,
HER HOME WHICH SHE
HAD TO FLED FROM
IN ORDER FOR
HER TO STAY ALIVE 

SHE THOUGHT THAT
THERE WERE NO SURVIVIOURS
DUE TO THE ATTACK

WITH OVERWHELMING 
DESIREMENT SHE 
RAN TOWARDS HER FAMILY…

SHE AWOKE THAT 
FOLLOWING MORNING
WITH A SENSE OF PRIDE
KNOWING THAT HER FAITH WAS
TESTED BEYOND
HER BELIEVE 
AND HER FEAR…
WAS BURRIED UNDER MILLIONS
OF SAND GRAINS
 
IN THAT TREACHEROUS SAND TRAP
