Found

By

in the depths of despair i swim

hoping for a safe place to hide

breathing hard

choking and spitting out water

i see land

i swim faster

i crawl out shivering

looking for shelter

wanting warmth

needing a place to lie my head

a place of safety

a place where i know i am secure

i feel the sand between my toes

i step over crabs

will if i will ever find shade

fierce winds blow

i’m thirsty

my lips are chapped

i am dripping wet

and hungry

where can i relax

rest my mind

let my body collapse

forget my past

i need somewhere to sleep

somewhere to dream away reality

no one is near

trees are scarse

rocks stand tall like soldiers

i feel abandoned

misunderstood

i’m scared

i’m broken

alone, so alone

i tuck myself next to a cliff

out of the sun’s glare

i close my eyes

i imagine a better life

i hear a whisper

i feel the warmth of his breath

i feel his touch

he is near

he speaks truth to me

singing a melody of love over me

he comforts me

and holds me

i sob in his arms

he says,

“i saw you stripped of your innocence when you were seven

i wept when you couldn’t make a sound

i never once left you

you are my daughter

mine forever

you’re not home yet

i will be with you every step of the way

until we meet again

always”

so i continue to wander

believing now i am not alone

i’ve been touched by the love of god

forever changed

  3. Beautiful poem! Thank you for sharing. I’m sure we can all find parts of ourselves within the lines.

    Join me in praying for a young boy from my church who is having brain surgery on Friday – see my actions speak loudest blog.

    Thanks!

  4. Psalm 103:4,5,6 He redeems my life from the pit and crowns me with love and compassion. He satisfies my desires with good things so that my youth is renewed like the eagle’s

  6. I read this the other day and didn’t get a chance to comment because my computer froze up.

    I love seeing the depths the Lord is taking you to conform you to His image!

    Hope to see you at She Speaks!
