This is a poem I just no wrote for a contest entry. |
On 2004 April Seventeen A rush of electricity, flowed right through me It knocked out my breath, and dropped me to my knees There on that altar, A light turned on, deep inside of me HE, like a mighty rushing wind Took the darkness, and became more than a friend HE, with HIS GRACE covers me now as he did then HE, with HIS LOVE gives me an expected end The light radiates so deep and brightly That even those, who called themselves my enemy Find themselves confused, as they embrace me With new found respect; the light is all they see This deep and rich illuminating glow Is what guides me through the valleys' dark shadow As it reminds me, not long ago I played the part vengeance, in the devils' sideshow A puppet on a string, a dog on its' leash Darkness, once upon a time, guided me It was my guardian, and my necessity he was my drug, and I was his junkie Plainly put, sin and darkness made a slave Locked away in his mind, like a bird in a cage I was the main attraction, I was all the rage Then, something happened, and I was no longer afraid The LIGHT broke through and set this captive free Took me to a cross, on a hill named CALVARY Where I met the LIGHT, where HIS LOVE, GRACE AND MERCY Wrapped me in HIS arms and completely rescued me Now this light I carry deep inside, is so powerful and renown Neither you or I have the power to shut it down I carry HIM to the streets, up and downtown Being mocked for my beliefs, I am more than happy to be his free clown Because on 2004 April Seventeen The SPIRIT of The Living GOD, flowed right through me THE LIGHT broke through, and dropped me to my knees HIS NAME, JESUS! And I love to carry him with me shining the light in the darkest of streets... (36 lines) |
