Here is the very first poem I wrote just after new years, It's called My Lighthouse
I Once was a drift in a vast ocean of misery and pain…I thought that this was the meaning of life. Just drift and drift day in and out to go from one pain to the next. Being lost and not knowing where to go; adrift amongst grief and sadness. And then all of a sudden, coming upon this glorious lighthouse, one that brought such light, and such hope. Piercing loving light, to wash away all my sorrows and innermost pain. To then come upon the path your feet must follow like it had been there the whole time of your existence; and knowing that it was there inside of you the whole time…and you just realized it. So you start to follow it unquestionably into the dark with no fear, just seeing that light off in the distance warming you when you are cold, and giving you hope when you thought all hope was forever lost amongst the thrashing waves.
And my second one I wrote shortly after called The Tattered Heart.
Their once was a heart that was all but torn apart because of the misjustices that it had seen and been through this poor tattered heart found some refuge amongst beloved family and friends. But I could not figure why it didn’t quite feel whole again. It tried and tried with all of it’s might, but no matter what or how hard it tried it still felt it was dead inside just like from the start. Until one day when it happened upon another heart, a much stronger brighter heart. So the tattered little heart said I will go seek the council of that heart! Surely it must be smart! So the tattered little heart went up to the strong and bright heart and said “ Oh bright heart what must I do to repair my poor tattered heart? It has fallen to pieces and I have been trying so desperately to pick them up again and put them back from where they came, but it has not worked. What shall I do to be whole again?” The strong and bright heart looked at the tattered little heart lovingly and said “My beloved little heart there is nothing you can do to repair your poor tattered heart”
The tattered little heart thought to it self “All is lost! If this wise and smart heart says it cannot be done then all is lost!” But just then the bright and wise heart said” Don’t despair my poor beloved heart, because even as you cannot repair your poor tattered heart there is another who can.
The tattered little heart said, “Who is this one who can repair my poor tattered heart? How can I find him?” The wise heart said give up your pain and sorrow to the great light up above and you will be anew. So the tattered little heart did just that, and sure enough the tattered heart was not tattered anymore it shown so bright and warm that the hearts beloved family and friends did not eve recognize it upon it grand arrival home and so the once tattered heart shared it’s new found light with everyone that came near to gaze upon the now bright and warm light of the once tattered heart. And for once in it’s life it wasn’t just patched up, there were no scars from its former being, it truly was anew. And like the once tattered heart we can be anew though Jesus Christ, our great light.
Tell me what you think about them.
