Darkest hour

I lay on the sea bed the rythm slows down
i lay there like driftwood
then -silence-
no sound.
waves thrash and crash
above my head on the ground
seaweed as my pillow
lungs filled
i am drowned
A blinding light
dead eyes
now have sight
my soul swims
and yet i fight
im so very tired
let me sleep tonight.
i want to stay here
it feels so right,
no use i am weak
and i cannot speak
i am washed ashore
from waters deep
then thrust upon a mountain peak
reluctantly i accept defeat.
I wonder now how can this be?
for i was dead
my grave was the sea
or was i dreaming
momentarily?.
I open up
my mouth to speak
but salty water is all i leak.
i cough and choke then breath in deep
i lay there humbled feeble and meek.
why oh lord ? why choose me?
is this you plan?
my destiny?
all is gone washed out to sea
so why do you save only me?
It isnt fair it isnt right
why wont you let me sleep tonight?
crying now shaking violently
chilled to the bone
to the heart of me
I scream out loud scream desperatley
"Oh God Oh my lord please hear my plea,
there has to be others there has to be
Dont leave me alone
Its not fair on me
Id never survive all this misery"
Then peaceful calm washed over me,
subdued by pure serenity
filled with the spirit
with every heart beat
once again
i opened, my mouth, to speak
Oh lord i give myself to thee
and i promise my faith for eternity
I am sorry that i doubted thee"
I should have known
you would hear my plea,
for you have never forsaken me
in my darkest hour
you are here
now i see.
and my body and soul
i give you freely
for you are the true god
of all that there be
the one true creator
holy trinity.

| another amazing one. the blank space at the end gives the reader a slight pause before reaching the comment button to let all these words kind of sink in first. that too was an amazing addition, rather you meant for that to happen or not, i don't know, but if it was accidental it was a beautiful accident...and maybe some readers may stop in that "dead space" so to speak and might want to give themselves to the lord if they have not already. i think before this night is over i am going to have read all your poems.;) |
