Where Have You Gone?


Where have You gone?
I knew You so well once...
Now You are gone.
So proud, so tall
You were always so strong.

Alas, now You are just a memory.
A bittersweet agony upon my heart and soul.
At the mention of Your name
my heart stirs,
Only to fall again into the chasm of grief.

I have so many questions,
Yet they remain unanswered.
You come to me in my dreams
and with dawn's first rays You fade away.

Your face I can almost touch,
I reach for You,
yet You are only a dream.

Why must You go?
Stay for just a short while.
Let me touch Your face once more
Don't leave, not now,
Stay with me.

Linger on for just a moment more,
Let me know You are here.

I need Your presence,
just to know You are near.

The Good News is that He is bigger than your and my feelings and has promised not to go away.

This is a good poem though, and does a fine job at exploring man's sense of lostness apart from Jesus.

Love,

(big hugggssssssss) Look no more, dearest friend, for He will never leave us behind and He is here as He sends angels our way to guide us all and His grace lapses in both the sun of the day and the moon of the evening! (sigh) He will always be near, dearest friend, God Bless You, this is a very spiritually deep debut! Welcome to Passions, sweet friend, may you be inspired by all of us here as we will all be inspired by your lovely words! I can't wait to read more of your wonderful poetry, sweet friend, we all love you so much, and be sure to check your E-mail for a very special greeting from all of us here at Passions just for you! You have such a beautiful heart, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I have always found that when I think I am alone and he is gone, the unanswered prayer is the loudest, and the answer he helps me to find is the most profound.  I hope you find the same.
I want to welcome you to the family of Passions in Poetry and I hope you will enjoy your new friends here.  Please check your email for a surprise from us to you.
