God or Chance

God or Chance

I remember a world of such darkness

In a time not so very long ago

When I was filled with abject emptiness

Longing for release of my withered soul

Yet there was something deep within my mind

That urged me on each long and lonely day

Gently reassuring me, “Despair not

For in the morrow joy you will display”

And when I thought I could withstand no more

There you were, offering end to my woe

The miracle I could not imagine

Was it God or Chance, I could hardly know

But even as the stillness of the night

Compels me to wonder of God and Chance

I cherish the life we share together

As in my mind God whispers me our dance

Still it might have been mere chance, you and me

Though even chance might be sent from above

But I prefer a far more simple reason

Neither God nor Chance, but instead our love.

This is beautiful! I am a typical girl who believes in love, fate, chance and soulmates. I am also a believer in Christ, whom I believe uses both suffering and pain for good. I love the line that states perhaps chance was sent from above. Nicely done! :)

Love is strong,a Quantum thought, the reality of separates together, enjoying the end
Love is the" little bang" Holding our world together even now.

This is a great poem, with questions we all ponder sometime in our life, is what happened a work of god or just by chance? Very well written, good job and keep writing. You have a nice writing style that is unique and refreshing. :)

Thanks, that truly means a lot. I do agonize over word choices, and never feel I really got them all right. :)
