[hometext] => I am having my days where I want life to end, like yesterday, and where I have faith; so forgive me if i am confusing you with my erratic feelings...
[bodytext] => Your skies are dark and menacing today, Lord…
Rain still hasn’t fallen on my window,
My only source of viewing, perceiving this now tempestuous world of yours…
The clouds swirl forebodingly,
Their black faces contort into hideous images of my nightmares…
I turn my head away in fear of falling, once again, into Their grasp…
Darkness floods my room,
This eternal confinement of mine…
The sun is gone forever,
My only source of light…
Paranoia and fear ruptures in me,
Forcing me to turn on all the lamplights,
Still, horribly still darkness victors once again…
Go figure…
I look through my window once more,
Surprised to find a droplet of water sitting quietly, watching me intently…
Then another, and another…
Soon enough, blankets of heavy, dagger-like rain envelopes the world…
Cold.
Bare.
Dreary.
Such is my life and my heart…
Revealed and stripped naked to be taken and torn again…
It has begun…
A day,
More like a lifetime,
Of harsh depression,
Merciless pain and sorrow…
I haven’t felt this dreadful in a long time…
My hope slips slowly from my grasp…
But my faith in You, my Lord in Heaven,
Still shines brilliantly…
I ask for guidance, for strength, for hope,
From You, Heavenly Father,
So I may live another day…
Death, cold and arid, lingers in my mind, my palace…
But I don’t want it!
I want to live!
However, I deny myself slightly…
So I pray more fiercely to You,
Hoping that You will rid me of these thoughts…
I’ve learned that my prayers aren’t answered right away,
And that my answers aren’t always what I want…
But that is how life works…
And how HE works…
In very, VERY mysterious ways…
Everyday I learn something new about You, Lord,
And myself…
And I am eternally grateful for that…
So, I will wait for Your reply, God,
And hope the next day to be bright and full of Your love…
Thank you, Lord, my God in Heaven…

That was fantastic !! Regardless of where you are ... you DO know where you are going. Keep your focus on the End of the journey, but take time to enjoy the scenery along the way. Let yourself be filled with wonder. Much still lies ahead.
" ... a droplet of water sitting quietly, watching me intently " I really liked this image !!

A very powerful poem, yet more then that... a statement about your life. The message was had powerful impact, as it was very dramatic. It appeared very genuine as well. It appears you have hope through faith; and that is your strength. Very impressive.

Wow, again, I am amazed by your poetry. I love your style. You truly express yourself in all of your poems. But I don't want to repeat myself, from what I have told you from other comments of your poems. I loved this poem, and here, I have pointed out some lines that felt true for me.
Cold.
Bare.
Dreary.
Such is my life and my heart…
Revealed and stripped naked to be taken and torn again…
These lines represent how you feel. Utterly broken. But what you express in the wholeness of your poem is a feeling of gratefulness, acceptance, and love. For example....
I’ve learned that my prayers aren’t answered right away,
And that my answers aren’t always what I want…
But that is how life works…
And how HE works…
In very, VERY mysterious ways…
Everyday I learn something new about You, Lord,
And myself…
And I am eternally grateful for that…
So, I will wait for Your reply, God,
And hope the next day to be bright and full of Your love…
Thank you, Lord, my God in Heaven…
That, my friend, is beautiful. In this poem you have fully expressed life itself. And what I mean is that you express your depression and sadness, but at the same time you express your faith in God, and your understanding that God has a plan that sometimes we cannot understand. A plan that brings us pain, but also is exactly what we need to experience. And you are grateful for that, despite your suffering. Keep this attitude. It will help you along your journey. For the only way to live truly is to accept the path that God has laid before us, and to be grateful for it. This is how I try to live, and you have shown that this is also how your try to live. Thank you for writing. You are True.
As always,
Be True,
zenmind
