Drifting through my soul
darkness flickers, fades,
passes through the falling smiles.
This descent awaits
breathing the fear,
inhaling the stench,
sinking
submitting to the pull the tug
down.

Above I see your hand
reaching out
shimmers in your glory
untouchable to these
blackened hands.
And I paint a thick
coat of shame around
my hardened heart,
fold myself and wait for
the chains to tighten.

Drifting through my soul
light then flickers, brightens,
picks up the fallen smiles.
This ascent awaits
breathing the freedom
inhaling the sweetness
rising
submitting to the pull the tug
up
toward you.

For 'My heart has heard you say
"Come and talk with me"
And my heart responds
"Lord, I am coming."'

(these last 4 lines is Psalm 27:8 in my
touchpoint bible.)

I can go on for days about hope! Maybe I will later when I have more time! Great poem here! You expressed it so very well!

Wonderful how HE always can reach through the darkness and pull us out of the muck.
