The tide has turnedwhere love was once.
No more.
This, my response.
To the thunderstorm that bellows,
only breath flows.
Loud curses abound
to soft prayers resound.
Wicked eyes glare,
courage returns its’ stare.
Conspiracy, paranoia
rears its’ head,
but only innocence is abed.
Blind harassment,
meets silent resentment.
Vile verbal onslaught
is but empty, am not distraught.
Violent engagement to seek,
meets meekness yet not weak.
Evil is his game,
in God’s spirit I keep aim
Strength wanes.
Fear invades like a crease,
turmoil in the surround.
Still, follow the gentle breeze,
justice will soon crown.

Excellent poem and thoughts from you today BM. It made me sit here though I have work to catch up and read your previous few blogs. You are a strong woman and it would have been wonderful if you had to not hold back from venting... (I know the kids read this lol). Your journey from fear to strength is just amazingly wonderful.... Wish I had more time to catch up with all your posts today...
ReplyDeleteLove and hugs.
Hang in there, give it up to him who has the power.
