His Daughter


                  

                                           In my darkness,

                                          I found Your Light

                                    In the dust of my mistrust

                                    Dying in my deepest night.

                                           Your quenching 

                                             Living water

                                           Poured unto me, 

                                     Your wandering daughter

                                          Your Voice broke 

                                               Through
                                      
                                        Like Mighty thunder,

                                 Leaving me in startled wonder.

                                     Your Word, a living Light;

                                         Disrupted shadows

                                              Of the night
                           
                                        My hopeless dreams 

                                       Though broken; dashed,

                                        Had cut my heart like

                                           Shards of glass
                         
                                           My hope of life? 

                                            I voted 'pass'

                            That is, until Your bright Sword flashed,

                               Cutting through my cords of doubt

                           And chains which bound me round about.

                              My heart and song now lift in praise

                                   Your path leads me through 

                                              Son lit days

Son lit days - very clever. He is, after all, the sun of righteousness. Quality faith based poem BJ

What an inspirational and spiritual poem. I especially liked "your quenching living water poured into me." I felt hope and transformation in those words. Your poem speaks of the value of faith in times of despair. I also liked 'Son lit days.' I like those too :-) have wonderful evening, Sara

Hello my friend.. This poem eloquently captures the journey from darkness to light, from despair to hope, through the transformative power of faith. The opening lines, "In my darkness, I found Your Light," immediately drew my attention, setting the tone for a deeply personal and spiritual exploration. The imagery of darkness symbolizes a state of despair or uncertainty, while the metaphor of finding light suggests a moment of revelation or awakening...
