Proverbial Sunrise

Author: Thunder Cat

Deep in thought I focus on all the pain
I've let it drain my happiness from me every day
If I had a penny for every thought that I've ever had
I would throw them in a well and wish for just one more laugh
But I see the light above my head is still shining bright
As I sleep in this lonesome abyss with my fear tonight
If I continue to give authority to this lifeless dream
Then I've allowed my soul to live in perpetual defeat
Tomorrow will be a better day if I choose
So with the morning sun I'll reach for life where flowers bloom
Inside of me the war has just begun
Fighting to feel the grace of Your warming sun
As I forgive myself for everything I have done
I leave my bag of burdens behind and carry on
Tomorrow is a better day and I choose
To become the strong and loving man You gave this life to
So here I am humbled, tormented, naked, and ashamed
Stripped of all my armor and foolish prides heavy weights
I know that I can no longer do this on my own
Will You please send me an angel tonight to guide me home
As I stand silently still at the threshold of eternity
The beating of my heart reverberates in search for peace
Without my past I could not find my destiny
It took a while to climb this mountain, but on the way I've learned to sing

~ Lord, are You listening? ~

Hi Jesse, I agree totally with Phyllis, things will get better, you write such powerful poetry, that comes from some were, I'm guessing a good heart, that's all you need, moving forward always.

Somehow it feels like the heart of God also reverberates in search of reaching you... to embrace and envelop you with the deepest yet most gentle sense of Love and Peace

Standing with you, as you stand silently still

So open and raw. It takes a strong man to be so emotionally bare.

Jesse, the road to enlightenment is never meant to be easy: until we understand it.. constant struggle holds us in its grip. Hang in there and thanks for sharing... Look beyond. The gate is open, and it's so beautiful out there....

I like the fact that despite the darkness you focus on finding your way to the light. It takes strength and above all it takes a change in ones mindset to find that light. With God anything is possible Skywalker, indeed he is listening. A moving piece from you my friend! OB1

That gate is so inviting, peaceful place is where heaven is. I think of what my heaven would be and there would be no judgement, no harsh words spoken, just love and laughter. I guess that's why I gravitate towards the comedians like Johnny Carson and Will Ferrell, they know their job is to make us laugh and they did that in spades!

jessie life is a struggle in its self sometimes when we humble ourself it opens our eyes. all things have a beginning and an end...but relationships always have a gain no matter how long they last. you will find someone to love and love you back one that is willing to work as hard as you to keep the relationship alive, as all good relationships take alot of work on both sides and when they fail it because one or the other has given up and no longer wants the work.
