alnone
at night
surrounded by the blackness
when before
I would call out Your name
now there is only
silence
memories
of love and comfort
pictures in my mind
of me smiling
joyously running in to Your arms
lighting my way
with Your truth
holding my hand in my fear
and so it becomes
a yearning
to find my way back
to You
or to simply
understand
that You are always
with me
holding out Your hand
always so patient
in Your love for me
and though I yearn
for You
and what once was
my selfishness overrides
my heart once again
and I leave you standing
there
waiting
and feeling
forgotten.

Allstaria22,

Ahhhh ... This is so characteristic of Jesus ... but do not fret my friend, He will not stop knocking at your heart door until you open and let Him come back in. Remember Jesus is a complete gentleman and He would never break down your door and barge in on you. I know that He's just waiting for you to open so He can give you a big loving bear hug. Jesus has never and will never stop loving you. This is such a beautiful heartfelt poem and I sincerely thank you for sharing it with me.

Thank you for your beautiful poem. I note that you reference a wonderful Bible verse from Isaiah.

"Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.
NIV Isaiah 1:18

And when we reason together, we invite God in fully and completely, with faith, releasing every feeling and thought, for only then can we hear to what He has to say. Reasoning always requires complete openess.

Allstaria, you have done a beautiful job of describing most human hearts. We know His faithfulness and His love but the world tends to obsure the view of His goodness. Keep pushing forward, clearing everything out of your way, until the path is clear to Him. Loved you work. Cheryl

PS: you might want to check your spelling in this line: (though)I yearn for you, instead of(thought)

Allstaria, I suspect most of us have been in the place you describe so well in this poem -- leaving Jesus behind as we stubbornly do "our thing," while He looks on with love and longing in His eyes. What an apt description of human behavior where the Lord is concerned. Thanks for the poetic reminder that we should seek first His kingdom and its righteousness, instead of our own self-interests.

Oh, yes, been there, done that. When I've strayed, I always get this feeling of uncertainty about being accepted back. Once back, I wonder why I'd ever have such a feeling. Guess it's because of my unworthiness. Nice poem. Thanks for sharing.
