The Hand Of Sorrow Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

You are a heavy-handed master
Submerging my Soul in pain
Clothing my heart with a thick blanket of sadness
Your scalpel has found the deepest parts of my Soul
Tearing through the tenderness of my heart
Ripping open a deep wound inside my being
I am at your mercy
My tears bear witness to your destruction
My heart is scattered in pieces
My spirit is broken

I will survive
The barrage of your torment
I will gather the pieces of my heart
And stitch them together
I will refill my spirit
And stand up again
I will find peace and comfort
Inside the house of my faith
I will embrace hope
And wallow in eternal Love
