Dwelling in The Darkness

[catarina77777]

Dwelling in the Darkness

I was dwelling in the darkness;
Living in disguise;
Runing with dark angels;
Tears within my eyes.

There was no one I could turn to;
No one there for me;
So scared that God locked Heaven's door
And threw away the key.

When I finally crumbled to my knees,
I could take no more;
The life that I was leading,
My Saviour could not ignore.

So He sent me his disciples;
Although I could not recognize;
The many times He sent them;
They were strangers to my eyes.

It was just the mere beginning,
Starting with a friendly smile;
We were talking on for hours,
We had walked a few short miles.

The rebirth in a lifetime,
Can happen in one day;
Faith is to take the risk,
To let Him lead the way.

Oh no, I'm not perfect Lord,
There's so much that I lack,
But there's no way I can keep your Love,
If I don't give it back.

Cat,

Your poem is so beautiful; it really touched me (it pulled on those heart strings a bit). You are such a talented lady! I think you really should do a compilation and please share more! I don't come to this forum much because I get kinda jealous. I have one of those complexes of "why does everybody have a talent except me." and after reading your poem I regret that I haven't come here that often.

Awww Sabra

I have no clue, but thank you soooo much. I guess I'm not the only one that feels that way! I posted this just cause of my boyfriend. I'm usually very self-conscious of my poetry or anything I do, that's why it's difficult for me to share it, but after these nice thoughts from everyone...I think I'll post another very soon.
Thanks again!
Love & Hugs,
Catarina

Catarina, your poem is beautiful! Don`t ever be self-conscious about that winderful gift God has given you! The gift is a "light" that should not be "hidden under a basket". Really, Cat, I would love to see more of your poetry.

Cat
