Poetry
NO HOPE
I open my eyes to darkness
Weighing on me like oil on water
It swirls around my psyche like an eddy of quicksand
I strain to see some way, some direction
I see nothing
No hope
I spread my hands and reach out
trying to touch another soul, another hand
A hand to guide me, or at least be a fellow traveler
Through this black universe
I feel nothing
No hope
My soul cries out for its maker
Surely I was not meant for this darkness
Surely there is a way out of this terrible aloneness
My ears strain to hear a voice, a call
I hear nothing
No Hope
There is a foul taste in my mouth
A smell of death in my nostrils
I sense of dread covers my spirit like a shroud
My soul cries out in agony
Where can I go?
Is there no hope?
I fall to my knees in the black void
My neck bent, chin on my chest,
I cannot find my way, I will die here
Away from the maker, away from His Love
Unless He comes to me
I have no hope
From the depth of my soul comes a spark
A light in the darkness that is neither inside me nor outside of me
Yet I see this light, feel its warmth, hear the rush of its coming
Suddenly the light becomes real, radiating from a cross
borne by One Who comes to rescue me
and deliver me from no hope
And now I see, feel, hear, taste, smell the wonder of His Love
I am no longer alone in the darkness
I am in wonder at the world I live in,
In wonder at His universe
In awe of all His creation
I have Hope
