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."

Everyone has down and blue moments, when life is not as we wish it to be ... It is simply that most men will never reveal that innermost side of themselves for fear of being judged as weak ... It takes a real man to embrace all that he is in times of strength, as well as those times of doubts and fears called weakness ... Well done ...

This piece conjured thoughts of sadness and gentleness yet forgiveness knowing that your god will again be there for you with outstretched arms no matter how far we stray

[wordman]

these are feelings that millions of people feel in life's journey,like the photo of jesus carrying the man through the sand,one set of foot prints..where was you God..thank you again

A cry from the saddest, darkest place in the soul. The poetry reads like a beautiful song...

You mentioned God here, which I like so much as this is the time when he bestows His tender grace upon those so lost...

Wow... that's deep.... and heartfelt. Life can be hard and God can seem so far away. But this is when we seek Him all the more. God bless.
