I awake up every morning with roaches in my hair
listing to the disquiet outside, and shouts of fear.
Striving, shuffling, falling forward to my old chair.
I once again sip from an old mug, cracked and worn
enjoying the day old coffee,
wrapped up in this old blanket of mine this is the norm.
For some scowls of unproved discontent, my faith stays unbent
pulling out an old good book from the side of my final resting bed
letting God show me the way to his layer he has said.
Finding content within his light, and the pathway he has shown.
not all the world is beautiful and siren, a world exist you have never known.
Don’t pity me for my way of life, humanity has always had strife.
God’s light is also in darkened places, not necessarily  just on
beautiful lakes reflecting whisking clouds, with snow cap mountain shrouds.
What you shout!
Loving him is easy it seems in lofty secure surreally
I have found him in all there is,
living my life in God’s love without a doubt.

Joel.


 I howl a mornful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.

you had roaches in your hair, he had a crown of thorns, and someday we will all wear a crown.
this was really wonderful!

You are right that our cicumstances are irrelevant when it comes to Gods Love. He'll come and capture us with His passionate Love wherever we are! Very interesting poem. Thanks for your reply to mine. Ellie

JOEL,      We each have our own live experiences which make us unique, but if we truly experience God's Love, it will be a boost and a blessing, no matter what our life circumstancers are.  You said it right God & His abiding love can be experienced in all places- for it is not a matter of externals- but what is truly in the Heart.   David

 "Our Creativity points to a Higher Creator--we couldn't have just happened, and for what ability we may possess--to God be the glory." -dlw-

Thank you all for understanding, the light is even in the darkness, one just chooses not to see it.
I'll try to return when my howling subsides, in dark passions.
light, love.
