Reaching In Faith... Poem by Trevor Schulte

I stare in the mirror
at the reflection that's painted
trying to forget all the dismay
that left it tainted
The eyelids begin to droop
in this pained impression
as the hope that lies within
is overtaken with depression
Oh the despair
that racks my soul
and deepens this
routine hole
Blessed my life is
to a synchronized level
but when is the time
when the Lord will revel
Revel a life lived
plastered in purified pain
stretching beyond this degree
of functionalized strain
Must I wallow in this lake
of opportunities that are faked
or break the chains
to this grounded stake
Loosen the limits
break the bounds
unvirginize these deaf ears
to joyed unison sounds
Shuffle these procedured tunes
into a remix based on love
Showing me the light of my life
in a unpredicted shove
Let me dance in rejoice
to the refined voice
of the destined one
that is of final choice
This day seems so vague
and out of human reach
but let the Divine intervene
with a lesson of faith to teach
