Hi guys my name is Justin Combs. I am 17 and I love God more than nething. I am looking for more people to fellowship with on Livejournal so I cam here. this is one of my poems. thanks for reading. God bless
Hark! What anguish have I awakened to?
What mighty weakness have I been born?
Nothing but a breath I am—oh woe to me!
My tireless tillage—what have I gained by the coming of morn’?
What treasures have I been bestowed,
And what jewels have I reaped?
That would not sizzle by the first touch of flame
Depressing to horrors dreadfully beseeched.
Dangling upon this slender thread
I dare not reach for higher ground
For one step leading to demise
I would disperse into ash without a sound
If it is nothing but Your mere pleasure
That keeps me from death underneath
Why do I run as a rebellious youth from home?
Seeking any way but Yours that I can safely achieve?
I ponder this certitude in front of my door
A voice manifests in the corner of my auricle*
“Whereto Thy escape?” Who irks* me?
“Wherefore?” Who begs my moment’s sanity?
This voice is like a nail being hammered to wood
Exhausting my every whim
I wipe away my broken spirit and rebuke all I should
Why, oh why Him?
Barriers then are broken; guard is let down
As reality seeps its way in—my torment is at its peak
My truth is a withering flower; my life a complete waste
What I would give to taste! Just one of completeness in Thee.
It is the mortise and tendon that binds life together
Worthwhile direction full of loving intention
Rejoice oh my soul! By grace you are delivered!
Redeemed, justified, sanctified, and glorified is all I can become.
If only now I would accept Jesus Christ as His Son.
Amen (Sweet!)
*auricle is another way of saying ear (it really is a part of the ear but can be used in that wording replacing ear in "in the corner of my ear")
*irks=annoys
tell me what you think.
