Hope: A Poem
Hallo! (By the way, does anyone know some more interesting greetings besides saying hi in multiple different languages?)
Anyways, here’s a poem I wrote a bit ago—fitting, I think, for the time in which we live and not forgetting to trust that God won’t ever abandon us, even in the darkest time.
Hope
I stand and watch as the morning light
Is covered by the starless night
I stand motionless, fixed to the ground
I cry out, but my lips make no sound
Where is our hope, I wonder?
Why has our world been torn asunder?
A ray of light tears through the darkened sky
An eagle rides through with a single cry
The clouds are parted, the darkness lifts
I stand watching the rising mist
I hear a voice on the wind
Our hope is here, it cries
We cannot save ourselves, but a Saviour will rise
Give His blood for ours
For we have not that power.
The night is banished
The dark has vanished
Above all shadows rides the sun
The end is written; the good has won.
Our hope has returned
To light we will turn
And we will be free again.
I hope you enjoyed it!

That was beautiful, Astrya! It rather reminded me of that bit in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader...when they're in the darkness around the island where dreams come true, and then Lucy prays to Aslan and he comes as a dove, bringing just one ray of light. It's a beautiful image :)
ReplyDeleteThat image had not occurred to me, but it’s a beautiful one and quite applicable. Thank you for sharing it! :D
DeleteAmen! Thank you for sharing ❤
ReplyDelete(How about "greetings and salutations"? ...That's all I can come up with.)
You’re quite welcome :D
Delete(That’s a classic one!)
By the way, I wrote a little scribble from one of your prompts. Would you mind if I post it on my blog? I'll credit you for the prompt, of course.
DeleteYes! Please do. I’d love that. :D
