Faith is the light of the next step
Illuminating a way ahead,
Without revealing the direction.
Faith will sustain, and comfort
...
What is this feeling within my heart;
Concealed by daylight hours, in a shroud of taut restraint.
Winter evenings consume, yesterdays pursue me,
Smiling, speaking, acting – I can cope, I can cope….
...
There’s a new leaf upon the Tree
A thousand, thousand have been before
In the life of this great tree
Yet, the Tree rejoices, and is glad
...
Son of my mother
time of fear a friend
time of adversity a brother
time of laughter, a comrade
...
Busy crowds, lonely hearts, broken dreams
Shopping for yesterday.
Visiting the shared moments,
In all the familiar places
...
And the devil took the high ground
And the Angels took the rest
The Angels stood and waited
Whilst the devil did his best
...
For the broken, the disguarded
Somebody's, nobody knows
He wept for the Widow, Orphan
And He wept for the lonely too
...
They say it was a Hunter’s moon
The night the City died
They say it was a hunter’s moon
The day the people cried
...
They sort to teach of things I knew
Seeking to re-inform, and make anew
They spoke of cabbages
And of kings
...
Love is not Blind
Yet some declare it so
Love is not deaf
Though many fail to know
...
Plough a furrow leave your marks
when bastards scar with their remarks
They use a razer to slash at hope
Build the gallows, provide the rope
...
There is a distance in her eyes
No bridge could ever span
A distance in her eyes
Between what was and is
...
Wishes and Dreams
May these be yours
For Our time Together
I Thank You
...
Whatever the weather
They’ll tether the weather
Whether we like it or not
Spinning tales of global warming
...
I am Everyman
Part of the main
The human side of God
A gift, unused and denied
...
Soft falls the rain
Flowing from mountain
To amplify streams
Events and thoughts
...
What is life if full of care... and what life isn't?)
Faith
Faith is the light of the next step
Illuminating a way ahead,
Without revealing the direction.
Faith will sustain, and comfort
Through our darkest hours.
Faith upholds the unseen hope,
It is the seasoning that endures,
the pain of life whilst revealing
that misery can be optional.
Faith is a light in the darkness,
Surrounded, yet not consumed.
In the storms of our lives
Faith is the stillness, seated at
The rear of our boat.
Your Winter poem is really 'captured'! I like the ray of hope and optimism in the end. Your poems are very rich.
I love the way you write. My favourite so far Winter
