Salvation.

When I thought all was over,
When I thought the beginning was the end.
When life turned upside down,
And the sun was far from the earth,
When darkness grip my heart,
Encumbering my mind with fear.
Down on my knees I cried,
Praying for heaven to come and help.

When the sky was coming down on me,
When the earth was sinking below my feet,
When the Stars are twinkling darkness,
And the moon turned its back at me..
When my hope was quietly dying,
And rainbows of death overshadowed me,
I called on to my father in heaven,
Who came in haste to rescue me.

We can only know joy and happiness if we know its opposites as well. Sometimes sadness feels like an old friend when it overstays its welcome, but is at this point we can think that this moment will not last and hopefully be forgotten in future happiness.
Nicely done. Just one suggestion,

Sorry, clicked send too early 😀
Line 5 should read... When darkness gripped my heart, not grip.

Stirring imagery, so stark and visceral… yet, ultimately uplifting.

God uses these desperate times to remind us how much we rely on him to pull us through. Its so easy to forget that without the grace of God, it could be so much worse. This is a good reminder. Thanks kay

Thank you so much Anne.
And you're right in your review that God uses desperate time to remind us that we can't survive without him.
Thank you for your thoughtful review once again.

I like it the story is sad emotional and happy at the same time. It speaks to the soul and encourages others since many go through times where they feel hopeless. I thank you for encouraging and spreading the word of the Father, our Lord God.

Thank you, Fairytale.
It's a wonderful experience to have something that will always keep a man closer to his creator.

[Fairytale]

It truly is.

I just noticed, thank you for shelving my poem.

It was nice and keep making something you like.

I'm glad for you, Kay, that you "called on to my father in heaven,
Who came in haste to rescue me". For most people who call to their god, they never here from him. Religion is a mystifying medicine in that it cures some and not others.

Good job!
DAH

[Kay Salisu Titilola]

Thank you so much, DAH.
I'm also glad I have a God who answers.

[DAH]

My pleasure, Kay!

Your spirituality comes through loud and clear in this poem. Your faith is strong. Nice expression here. Lydi**

'.. When the sky was coming down on me, .. When the earth was sinking below my feet, .. When the Stars are twinkling darkness, .. And the moon turned its back at me.. When .. .. .. '

Happens that faith in some form or another is there if truly wanted. Human beings live in today's buzzyness, not always willing or able to hold out a hand or whisper a kind word or few.. BUT, if one feels faith in a Being unseen but absolutely felt, the breath of relief, the moments of peace and comfort can be, usually are .. hard to describe but ever available without condemnation.

Your words echo that so very beautifully. You've found more than a generous friend..

[Kay Salisu Titilola]

Wow, thank you for your powerful review, Emma.
Having faith is the greatest key I can ever had to open the door of my happiness.

[emmajoy]

You're welcome, Kay

I really enjoyed the overwhelming sense of dread and how your spirituality saves you even though it seemed impossible. relatable to me in that regard.

[Kay Salisu Titilola]

Thank you for your thoughtful review, Ver.
I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[Einstein Noodle]

very relatable .. universal .. vulnerable .. and a solid humility in this expression ... i am going to guess this felt very satisfying to write ... i wouldn't change a thing about it .. well done ..a blessing when read with empathy

[Kay Salisu Titilola]

Thank you so much, Einstein.
Life is really good having faith.

[Einstein Noodle]

yes indeed ... i don't know how one does it without Faith :)
