Poetry

LOST AND IN DESPAIR

The light of darkness surrounds me.

Although the sun is shining bright.

My face is seeking refuge

from this visual sight.

My life is in a whirlspin

upside down to say the least.

The paths that I am walking

I know I need to pray to cease.

Will He listen?

Will I be heard?

Have I failed HIM?

or is this a lesson to be learned?
