The Emptiness Within Poem by Carolyn Ford Witt

-THE EMPTINESS WITHIN-

There is an emptiness within-
Not complete, but partial-still
an empty void.
Sorrow penetrates my heart,
causing life to loose it's
radiant joy.
My dreams-are life within-
but I cannot grasp a dream
to hold it close beside.
The loss I feel
is without measure.
It fills my depths with darkness
that only God's light
can penetrate.
But even with God's precious love,
the emptiness remains,
until your love returns
into my life.
Then joy and radiance
can spill forth to fill my world again.
