I awoke

this is a poem about my coming to meet my loard and my growth in him

I have fallen.... I can't bring myself to stand.... I cry out he takes my hand.

 

I awoke to his presence.

 

 Arise child and walk with me and I will show you how to see.

 

I awoke to grace.

 

Walking with him I feel strong, gently he corrects me when I am wrong.

 

I awoke to compassion.

 

suddenly I stop afriad to go on. what if I do something wrong... he will leave me I feel a sharp pain. How will I walk alone agian?

 

Don't worry child, it's ok... I will never leave,that is not my way.

 

I awoke to love.

So often we stand back because we feel we are not perfect and if we are not perfect then we wonder how we can be acceptable. I believe we come and work towards being the person we want to be, we don't get everything in order and then come......if that makes any sense.. you are most definitely an inspirational writer, very spiritual. Love your words.

Nice. You took the moment. Love the hope and emotion. Keep writing, and add more!

Lovely, thought provoking. A beauty in the concept of awakening to presence, grace, compassion and love.
Just a suggestion - I would like to see the double lined stanza reworked because it does not have the same rhythm of the previous stanzas.
keep up the good work - Love inspirational spiritual poems and you have got it.

Great ending, simple and wonderful. If I had to edit this visually (becuase the words are fine) I would indent the lines that started with 'I awoke' - leaving a space sometimes adds solemnity to the start of the line

Thanks for sharing

Moving poem; the 'I awoke to...' lines are excellant showing the spiritual growth. It's honesty is moving, the emotion elicits thought and connection to the reader while conveying a personal journey and progress.
Very nice job; keep writing.

Hmm, that is a beautiful poem, the feelings of the believer in his/her Lord is very well portrayed, and I really quite liked that, to know that the Lord is always with you no matter what, I think this poem relates to anyone who believes in God, whether they be Christians, Muslims or Jews.
Great write, well done.
