poems

Here are a couple of poems I wrote a few years ago, tweaked it a little bit today, and thought I’d share....

The Sun

As I watch it fade away

leaving just a distant glow

on the horizon

and slowly

the light leaves all that I see

and things become dark

I think

about you

The brightest light

You

The Light of the world

when you came to illuminate

the hearts of the ones you love

Walking the road of humanity

with healing, hope, and humility

You came to live and die for those who

stand offended by all that you are

Like the night

when it falls

and spins it’s web of shadows

there is darkness

and nothing seems to be alive

Until the sunrise touches it

with color and warmth

in the brightness of daylight

Like you

after the darkness of Your death

came back

in a more glorious splendor

than before

Life resurrected

Life renewed

Life restored.

*******

Tucked away

In a tiny corner of my heart

A light begins to grow

Brighter and brighter

it outshines the darkness

that’s lived there for so long

A fire is starting

Sparks fly

and it

burns

rages

consumes all

leaving behind a trail of perfect newness

only possible through pain

and the ashes that remain

are all that’s left of my world

It all belongs to you

It always has

and always will
