it pains, on the morrow bleed

Bookmark
HomePoetryit pains, on the morrow bleed
Summary:
just something I've been thinking about...
contemptious need flooding over my sorrow
never on the morrow to be let free
it's just another day of sadness

with knowledge, heavy privy to his holiest’s feelings
bedlam vain, I am not enough, I’m afraid
like Cain before me my gratitude is given begrudgingly

my gratefulness fleeting
on this count I beseech you
oh Father please forgive me

selfish keep, my immaturity evident
my faith wavers and for but a moment I see myself through your eyes
my light shaken by a darkness I can’t deny

you admonish me, it is the good in ourselves we are to encourage
it is the truth you tell
if not for your longsuffering I would be dead already

smite on the stone of judgement
where my blood would flow forever
a last sacrifice of the fattest lamb
or goat as may be the case

      • hello lovely Alexandria good evening thank you most graciously for such a beautiful comment and thought 💕 I guess this was a conversation I was having with God today sometimes I feel like when he asks something of me I am ungrateful…my heart hurts over this that my first insinct is to be selfish…I truly appreciate you tonight 💕

    1. Brenda, you have a gift of taking even your suffering and making great art. This speaks to me of a soul hurting but also a talent that is unmistakably the source of true art. You are more than worthy to God I am sure. And not a selfish person.

      John
