Redemption

Contemplating life's sorrow and pain,
as memories skirt the edges of the mind, the soul ~
filling each tiny niche and aching crease of the heart
with emotion, with sadness, with unfortunate loss...

One dolefully asks, 'Is life worth its toll?'

Embracing mortality on a deeply reflective day,
as shadows blot the most brilliant of sun's rays ~
willing the warmth to creep into the breath, the bones
with seasons of joy, with seasons of laughter, as life unfolds...

One wistfully asks, 'Will I find that place where warmth lays?'

Wondering how, or why, time cedes to nothing,
nothing in the realm of human trangressions, human error ~
chilling the reality of 'always' and 'forevermore'
with hands of fate, with waves of destiny, with tendrils of truism...

One sadly asks, 'Is there reasoning to rule what time exacts?'

Yet, through the shifting shades and mottled colors of day,
a tiny thought grabs hold, holding tightly to ~
a slim ray of hope. One gleaming beam of optimism
with emotion, with love, with incredible meaning...

One humbly asks, 'Is life not worth its hours few?'

And there, on a bright spring morning,
is the budding flower prepared to start life anew ~
as shadows move to let a golden ray of light shine
with sustenance, with warmth, with gentle promise...

One prayerfully asks, 'God, may I share that warmth with you?'


~ And God's response? ~

'My light will lead you to the warmth you seek,
and on the fleeting wings of time...
faith will shield you from life's storms
for your troubles will be mine ~
and my wind will lift you o'er the burdens
that weight your soul with bitter blame,
and carry you to a timeless heaven
where every angel knows your name.'

Faith is everlasting....

(Much love to you, my blogger friends...)
