The Dark Room By Paul Wilson As I opened the door to the cold dark room A small glimmer of light from within caught my eye Startled I asked who’s there but no one answered Turning too leave I heard a calming voice sigh Again…I asked who’s there as the light became brighter From out of the darkness it moved towards me Why are you afraid he asked with a gentle voice I’m afraid the others will condemn me Confused…he asked who or what are the others? The non-believers I said with the look of fright in my eyes Sitting next too me I began too tell him more I come here each morning too worship the one others despise The law say’s we can’t pray in public anymore…what a sin So I come to this darkened room behind a closed door Why has so many lost their way I ask the stranger Why don’t they have faith like times before Take my hand and walk with me I will protect you and calm your fears I am the truth… I am the way Come my child he said let me dry your tears I am the one that you seek Fear not those that are blind too me For they can’t see the light They shall never live thru me I am you You are me You are free Trust in me ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ Paul |

I do like the message of this poem. True prayer always occurs in the dark room of the soul, far away from all human eyes. Regardless of any oppression, you will always have that dark room of yours in which to privately give praise and thanks. Nicely written, Paul. I enjoyed this--- Brian "God becomes as we are that we may be as he is." ~William Blake |
