Mary Magdalene (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

It's difficult to explain the way that I am now,
where I am sincere and pure and full of faith like a child
where I try to keep every word, every instruction of Him,
do only constantly find new hope and selfless love
and people regard me as a whore impregnated by demons,
but for the change that turned my life around it is difficult to find words,
where now I do bring proselytes to the Lord God,
do help others to be free from the darkness
and so humbly light comes to the lives of others through me,
where He does fill me with bright insights that are sure,
where I walk vulnerable in His steps and am starting my life over,
where my lust is replaced by the love of God that is filling me
and He has died and lives again and also in me,
where His truth do daily come to stature.
