So He Leads MeA Poem by Lizzie A.You always find me in my weakest
hour..... when the world is silent and still. When I , only I am wide awake and
wondering You whisper... you are but a breath of
air, but it creeps in, fills the cracks. The vapor starts to spread ....it
grows...the poison is released and my thoughts are not my own I start to question, I start to sink.... Surely you can see? The black of the
vines sliding around my legs... I can't feel anymore They twist and tangle.... dragging me
down. Down.....down..... where the light
could never reach The whispers are louder now It's so dark, I can't hear my own voice I'm losing Let me just close my eyes. It's easier this way, see? No more struggle, no more striving Breath in Breath out Wait for the breath to stop ........................ ............................ ...................................... ..................................................................... ................................. ..................... Stop pulling me, can't you see I'm
sleeping? ............................................ "He's here....." the voices
hiss in anger They scatter, the vine slithers away
and I'm no longer tethered But I don't want to leave. It's nice
down here....don't you see? I'm warm, I'm content, leave me be He firmly takes my hand and pulls me up Up.....up I see a golden light breaking through
the thick fog above my head I can see Dear Jesus, I can see! I blink, confused for a moment as the
vice of claws are torn from my head Such warmth, the cloak of darkness
could never contain such warmth it rushes, trips its way to me.... It envelops me I'm born up on wings.... feathers I think They're so soft Then I see HIm No, not His face, please..... Please, I don't want to see the sorrow
in His eyes I've failed. Again Let me crawl back. The darkness beckons, and it's all I'm
worth.... But instead of sorrow I see... Love? His eyes overflow with love, it's carved
on His cheeks and... He wants me. He loves....me? How could the darkness compare? My soul is unburdened... I could fly
with this lightness. :Let me hold your hand a while longer,
my child....." So He leads me. © 2022 Lizzie A.Reviews
