Beacon ~
Residual anger, like
poisonous bile
Roiling, festering, boiling
Reminding me of all that is
vile
My life -- encompassed,
spoiling
Imprisoned by erroneous
thought
There are no bars to bear
Rage and fury, all that I've
got
For I no longer care
My dreams lie limp, livid,
dying
The sun no longer shines
Clouds above, their white
belying
Dark storm, in me, that
binds
And yet, I won't give up the
ghost
I'll press on, 'til the end
I do not like to brag or
boast
The darkness is my friend
It suits me well, at times
like these
When I feel out of synch
Unable to perform or please
I dip my heart in ink
Then blackness rolls across
the page
Like thunder 'cross the sky
Unleashing all my hurt and
rage
I'm always left with "Why?"
Sweet release and, then, The
Light
I'm disposed of my behavior
Then all that's good and
true and right
I find, there, in My Savior
Receding darkness - going,
gone
God loves me, this I've
known
He's there for me to lean
upon
When heartache wants to own
A beacon in the bleakest
storm
The Light will see you
through
His love will keep you safe
and warm
Yes, this I promise you
~*~
The trials of every day life
can often
make us feel alone, sad,
hopeless.
Add to that, a real tragedy
or loss,
and life feels too big for
us to handle.
But, with God, storms do
pass.
The sun does shine again.
Hearts and souls do heal.
Like a steadfast beacon in
the night,
God is always there to
provide us
with His light and love.
