rain
patters down
it's drip
drip
dripping
never ending
down the windowpanes
millions of drops
blur together
until I can't tell
what's clear
what's there
what's clear
what's there
what's real
or not
i reach out
to trace the pattern
of a raindrop
sliding down the pane
before i touch it
it's gone
melted into
the millions of others
just like it
sliding down
never to be itself
again
failure
weighs down
it's press
press
pressing
never ending
down into my heart
until i can't tell
what's clear
what's there
what's real
or not
i reach out
see a ray of sunlight
try to grasp it
before i touch it
it's gone
melted into
the millions of others
just like it
that have come
and gone
again
hope
pours down
it's knock
knock
knocking
never ending
down into my heart
millions of lies
have disappeared
until i can tell
what's clear
what's there
what's real
or not
i reach out
see the hope
that's right in front of me
when i touch it
it's mine
i'm not like
the millions of others
just like me
that have disscarded
their hope
again
i have hope
again
and forever

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. // Romans 15:13
Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God,for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God. // Psalm 42:11

DeleteThat is so lovely and encouraging, Emily...I needed to hear that. ♥ Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you Hosanna! I'm glad that God used to to speak to you! ♥
DeleteBeautiful, dear girl! I agree with Hosanna that it's something that really hits home for me right now. :) Reminds me of the song...There's Hope in Front of Me. <3
ReplyDeleteThank you, sweet friend! I'm so glad. <33
DeleteOh, yes, it does sound a lot like that song! Not on purpose, though.... I wrote it long before I'd ever heard it. ;)
This was such a beautiful poem, Emily! Your poetry is always so wonderful! I just don't understand how all you poets do it! I try as I might but I can never write a poem! XD
ReplyDeleteYou do wonderfully at it, Emily, and I'm glad you posted this. =)

Thank you so much, Jaidyn! <3
DeleteWhen you're a writer or poet (whether you call yourself one or not!), the words just come to you and you HAVE To write them down! It's kind of a crazy thing sometimes. ;)
Even if writing poetry isn't your "thing", I'm absolutely know there's some special things that you can do amazingly well... gifts that God gave YOU. I bet one of them is encouragement, since your comments always do just that for me!
You go, girl! ♥♥
Your welcome!
ReplyDeleteI know, like sometimes I have this little idea for something, and I feel like I'm going to to loose to, so I have to write it down RIGHT AWAY. XD
Aww, thank you, sweet girl! <3 I hope so, I would really like encouraging others to be one of my gifts, and I'm really glad you think that it is. =D
Thank you! Have a blessed day, Emily. =) 💕💗
Jaidyn Elise
Yes, I totally understand! I think it's pretty much an unofficially rule: write it down or lose it. xD
DeleteThank you, too! You're a great encourager. :D
Have a wonderful day yourself! <3
YES, I agree!! =)
DeleteYour welcome!! Awww!!!! * bluses * Thank you, dear girl. <3
Thank you!
