His Daughter

In my darkness, I found Your Light In the dust of my mistrust Dying in my deepest night. Your quenching Living water Poured unto me, Your wandering daughter Your Voice broke Through Like Mighty thunder, Leaving me in startled wonder. Your Word, a living Light; Disrupted shadows Of the night My hopeless dreams Though broken; dashed, Had cut my heart like Shards of glass My hope of life? I voted 'pass' That is, until Your bright Sword flashed, Cutting through my cords of doubt And chains which bound me round about. My heart and song now lift in praise Your path leads me through Son lit days

Here is astounding beauty! (Legros, as your experience-felt poetry has stayed with me, you were a hugs part of my latest poem’s inspiration, “The Memory Speaks.” I’d be honored if you’d read it. My love to you.

What an inspirational and spiritual poem. I especially liked "your quenching living water poured into me." I felt hope and transformation in those words. Your poem speaks of the value of faith in times of despair. I also liked 'Son lit days.' I like those too :-) have wonderful evening, Sara

Hello my friend.. This poem eloquently captures the journey from darkness to light, from despair to hope, through the transformative power of faith. The opening lines, "In my darkness, I found Your Light," immediately drew my attention, setting the tone for a deeply personal and spiritual exploration. The imagery of darkness symbolizes a state of despair or uncertainty, while the metaphor of finding light suggests a moment of revelation or awakening...
