The Light of Friendship - 2

With a heart full of hope My smile spreads the whispers Of thoughts so brilliant Inspirations and visions clinging To the music of a kindness Brought to life by my insight Comprehension of a experience A moment in time, a sigh Silence brought alive on the night Within the spirit who denies Brokenness or sorrow, pain That shadows their heart, imagines These gestures of faith portray A second chance, a new day The way toward joy and renewal Hope… With a heart full of light Caressing the stardust dreams Igniting the faith and peace Bursting through the worries The needs – fears and laments Mourning that will only believe Ballads howling grief, darkness Poured out on the feelings Who need only be graced by the Reflections of promises, revelations Throwing praise hovering on the skies Emptying the mind of its ties To anguish, aching disgrace Suffering that fades to a dance With fate With a heart full of gentle faith There comes the vibrant dream Of life beyond grief and pain Life that is lived in the presence Of a Savior who makes every hurt Seem like it will be extinguished By His amazing love, His compassion The feeling of absolute escape From every darkness, each dreadful Trouble or concern, every angst Through His love there comes a calm A quiet light that falls soft against The moment, the day, the time When hearts seem to be fighting For a opportunity to reach out with hope Find the warmth that covers the heart With a pure, sweet love beyond dreams A love so amazing it bleeds light into The one who needs to know this is God’s gift, come to life inside the prayer For a heart who is giving and living To color someone’s life in tenderness With a heart who gives and listens To the one who is in need, the one who grieves There comes assurance that Jesus is Alive inside, giving His answers through this friendship Being A Light to Others Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Anoucheka Gangabissoon March 10, 2022
