The Light

The Light

A Poem by Melanie Jane Boicourt Shanks

The light

It�s hell -not- living in the light
You fell -and- nothing seems right.
There�s always something missing
No matter whom you�re kissing.
No one can take away
your loneliness today.

except you -by- going to the light.
Just you -can- make it alright.
Improve the life you�re living.
And know that you�re forgiven.
Let Jesus fill the void.
Before your life�s destroyed.

Then you -can- go into the light
And you -will- know it�s alright.
Just go and join the family
Who will accept you gladly.
No matter where you�ve been.
Your new life can begin.

Then you -can- live inside the light
And you �will- know it�s alright.
You�ll see it, know it, hear it,
And feel the Holy Spirit
transforming inside you.
And everything you do.

Because you �are- becoming the light.
Yea you �know- everything�s alright.
When you let God take control.
Your cup is always over full
The creator of your soul
knows how to make you whole.

Then you �will- be inside the light.

M.J.S.

You know there are programs where you can record yourself and then paste the code here so that we could hear your music. I definitely think that is something you might want to consider doing. One program is called evoca and the other is audacity.

Anyway loved this and again as before I can "hear" the music in your words. So I can only imagine what it must really be like when you put the two together. :)

"Your cup is always over full

knows how to make you whole."

Ain't it the truth? When you are in sync with the universe around you, life is a very beautiful thing.

Wonderful write!
