'Thanks Be To God' Poem by robert john bayoneta

How many times will i have to grieve,
for my soul have no place to cry anymore.
All i can do is to bend down my knees,
and take it all my burden into prayer.

My eyes can cry no more in pain,
i am full of wounds in my heart.
I can't shed my tears off the ground,
the soil of the earth we're filled.

How long will i need to walk with my shadows,
for yesterdays are my stumbling block.
It devoured the innocence of my childhood,
my memories are nightmares in the night.

But thanks be to heaven and Dominions,
though my eyes can't see tomorrow's life.
Just a little light in the open universe,
enough to make my hands to hold.
