A Simple Humbling Word,  Help!


My spirit sadden, heavily laden,
needing relief or down to
Sheol my path will end too soon.

Last plea for help I send upward
as tears fall downward
in dull droplets to waste away
frivolously.

Feeling a soft cooling breeze all
about my presence
and a sense a refreshing relief,
bewilderment sets in?

What is this unseen force that can
uplift a soul in deep
regret? Has my plea fallen on
open ear?

Soon free’ness becomes know once
more to this withering state
giving drenching love the power
to heal.

Having the power to once again
breath fresh air deep
into this soul of mine I once again
have a plea of sorts.


This time looking upward to the
heavens and shedding
tears brightly lit in loves gleam
I on bent knee begin
my prayer.

Thanking in a much humble state
I give thanks to the
angel’s descent and to the One
who sent them to me.

I did not believe in the power you
possessed, forgetting
what had been learned, but “oh”
so forgiving your ways
are all that was needed a simple
and humbling word,
help!


By, Cerenity

My sweet Cerenity~
You've but to extend the plea and He listens.

This is so affirming of your faith and your
willingness to seek Him.

What a lovely offering of yourself to us.
I got immense serenity from reading it.
Love and hugs, my friend.

Hi Marge and Mark

Life has a way of reminding us how so very fragile we are from time to time and this seems to be when we forget who to turn to, or at least in my case I get all caught up in lifes pains and seem to have no where to turn until I remember the one that has got me this far with loving care.
Thank you both.

Love Cerenity

Cerenity, my friend this is a beautiful piece
and while I do not believe in a God a such I still believe it is important to turn to something/someone for inspiration for comfort. Wonderfully written piece.

Hi Brian,

Thank you friend, inspiration can come from just about anything, why just the other night I painted my toe nails and was inspired to dance the night away, hehe (~.~), joking aside I do understand just what you mean.

Love ya, Cerenity
