Poetry- “Temporary Place”

There are shadows haunting me.
Of life now dimmed
but brilliantly,
I see the crescent shining through,
darkness dies to You.
For this heart is healing
in a world not meant for me,
and every breath I’m taking,
is taken on my knees.
I meet You there. I meet you there.

Memories swirl beneath the storm.
Of life once bright,
but now I’m torn.
With this tapestry, you’re not through.
Tattered pieces weaved by You.
For this heart is healing
in a world not meant for me,
and every breath I’m taking,
is taken on my knees.
You hold me there. You hold me there.

Lord, tell me what tomorrow brings.
Resurrection from deadly
worldly things?
Battle lost to battle won,
Your will be done, your will be done.
For this heart is healing
in a world not meant for me,
and every breath I’m taking,
is taken on my knees.
You lift me there, you lift me there.

And in the end when times are through,
the world will fade
I’ll rise to You.
Leave behind the troubled life
I am yours and You are mine.
For this heart will heal, and home is where I’ll be.
Every breath I’ll be taking
Will be breath that says I’m free.
You love me there; you love me there.

I'm someone who has always had a deep passion for literature and writing. From a young age, I've been captivated by the power of words and the way they can transport us to different worlds, open our minds to new ideas, and connect us with people and experiences that are distant from our own. Whether it's immersing myself in a classic novel, jotting down my thoughts in a journal, or crafting my own creative stories, writing and literature have always been an essential part of my life. I'm excited to continue exploring this rich and rewarding field, and to share my thoughts and insights with others who share my love for all things literary.
