In the miracle
Of believing
Prayers seeking
To make a difference

A lost soul
Black and blue
Bruised pride
Harpooned

Crawling
Scraping nails
Digging faith
Our Father’s

Stepped on
Lost child
Too old
To cry anymore

An American dream
Imprisoned within
A war within
Never won

A billion to one
Trillion to nothing
A star seeking
Illumination

A glimmer
That will never
Die
Within a weak heart

Survivability
A lonely path
Briars
Thorns of determination

Words
Destroying
Building
Roller coaster

Devotion
Existing
In nothing
But thin air

In the miracle
Of believing
Believing
Just believing

In the miracle
Of a common man
With words
Whispering

In the miracle
Of peace
Fifteen doves
Flying free

In the miracle
The miracle
Miracle
Mir

Thought: In the best miracle of all, our Maker sees us as an individual having their own space to fly free from.

This one has a wonderful weight, but you essentially doomed it from being published by submitting so many poems. Which is a shame, because I love it.

(smiles) Yes, true freedom is a miracle, and the best freedom as where we all unite but not all conform, that is, we all embrace one anothers differences and not try to make everyone uniform! (big hugggssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
