[Poem] Subtle roar

There I was sitting
At one corner doing nothing
With eyes pinned on the wall
Feeling lonely over all.

Thoughts run through my head
Where I let my heart just bled.
This pain I have I couldn't bear
Like a body left there laid bare.

In silence I heard a soft sound
Hearing whisper as I look around.
In my stillness, it became clearer
And saw an angel, His message bearer.

He opened his mouth and spoke
Hearing words prophesying, I then choke.
Every word hit me like a dart
Speaking the truth straight to my heart.

I was lower than low
Drowned deep down below
But all Your words I hear
Brought me closer to You and near.

You are the way, the truth and the life.
Your Word cuts through like a knife.
Clothe love in me, consume me,
Come near me, speak to me.

[Poem] Out from the gut

Morning sun shines the night passed
Of the same light that tucks you to sleep tight.
As I get through the day and wait for Mr. Moon
Thoughts of life just got me so swooned.

How opposite lives can be
Like I am here and there is Thee.
The future the mind has conceived
Are plainly just a make believe.

The night sky is ebony
Studded with stars so glittery.
Moon lit the serene water
As tears show like spilling from the gutter.

I am alone on my own
Travelling roads of the unknown
Blindly, there steps I took
Image bruised at the mirror I look.

Why the sudden feeling arouse
Like a newly put up and painted house?
A faith deeply founded on a Rock
With promises that no one can mock.

A grin I give like a crack on the face
As I bow my head in deep solace.
You spoke to me, to my heart it pierced
You etched Your love in my heart that grieved.

You are always on time
Just before I slid in slime.
A planned destiny You prepped for me
Even before I was knit in mom's tummy.

This walk ain't easy as I thought
For trials arise this world has brought.
Storm proof life surely You promised
To enjoy provisions and not be missed.
