A Single Tear

It seems i have fallen from your grace

i no longer see your face

so i sit to write but the words wont come

 

Tears roll down my face

it seems i have fallen from your grace

down trodden and all alone

no one to call upon

 

A deaf ear has now taken the place

of my God and his grace

though i walk through the valley of death

i do fear evil i feel alone my heart cold

and out of place

 

On my knees

on my face

praying to God to once

more show me his face

 

But not a sound

do i hear

only feel the warmth

of a single tear...

Thanks for sharing your spiritual side. I think many people can identify wih this piece. We all have those times when we feel disconnected and it is a lonely, barren place to be. Your words describe it very well. Nice work! I did want to mention in the second stanza, correction in the last line-should be "call upon", not "call up on."

I heard someone ask today, "Where is God when troubles arise?"

The answer isn't that God left us... but rather man left God...

And is no longer sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit....

God never leaves...

Just some thoughts that came to mind as I read through.

Thanks for sharing...

Beautiful and sad
like the cries of David
in psalms of the bible
very heartfelt.

The poem is very beautiful to such an amazing degree, i'm left with awe while my mind wanders to each stanza. Imagery played a big part to me while reading this. Thank you for such an amazing write Wordman.

I think many people temporarily lose their spiritual side. Just don't worry about it, I think Him upstairs is still there. Just feel a bit of 'love in your heart' while you are in that valley... that is supposed to keep the fear away!
To me it sounds a s though you had 'word-block'. This is very common to writers. Best just to let it pass!

[wordman]

thank you for the review,maybe you are right,but it seems like this for most of the world,most of the time

[Great Aunt Astri]

I think this is true... probably modern technology is largely to blame. It which seems to think it has taken the place of God! Our only consolation is that we are not machines... we are HUMAN (whatever a human is!), and as humans we have emotions such as love. Sometimes, when I an am in that valley, and feel totally without love, I just try to love one of my house plants, or something, and it is surprising how much that helps!, Remember, the technology of today will go the way of the technology of days gone by. ie get dysfunctional and obsolete. We can only wonder in awe what might take its place, but something will, something completely unthought of , as yet!

A poem filled with true emotions. Every word of the poem touches my heart. We compose such piece when we loss someone or something important in our life. It is a sad poem also, Wordman. Thanks for sharing.

This poem makes me feel so sad, but I relate. I feel like this often. I really like the repetition you use—beautiful.

I'm 100% with Relic on this one. My sentiments exactly. Bravo W.M.

thank you for the visit my friend

[Relic]

It's always sad when we feel forgotten about and left alone. I like the song and the picture to go along with the cold tone of your words.

Nice job Wordman.

[wordman]

"But not a sound
do i hear
only feel the warmth
of a single tear..."
That last stanza stand-out the most... It is something that bite to the heart and leave some scar... Amazing piece...
