The Lamentations Of A Grateful Heart (A Poem) by fikfaknuel(f): 8:12am On Sep 11, 2016 |
I wander into the mystery of your glory flawed by my wrongful perception My lips shut, my heart open Dancing to the presence of your music I strip myself bare, unclothed before the ever-flowing stream of your wisdom Forgive me, o Lord! I have been wronged by this, jovial nature of blasphemy Cackling before our faces, and i'm caught in it Questioning your existence, by the features which you gave Atheists refusing to believe, ridiculing your image as a white person But, I know my God I look to the sky and find him there I'm stripped of my turmoiled fears I look unto the breasts I grapled as a kid Suckling into life, and becoming as I am now You put her there, right in my life God isn't just sitting idly on the throne He is the love that burns in my heart He makes me smile, when brooms threaten to sweep away any joy from our sorrowful lips Forgive me, O Lord! For I am most grateful by the beauty of the suffering that tests our faith. *All rights reserved by the author, email 'emmanuelesomnofu@gmail.com' 2 Likes 1 Share |
