Poetry
A Lament
2010 Robert Lydiate
O Father, my Lord
Sadness overwhelms me
Pain threatens my life, my very soul
I cannot see how.....where to reach out
Cannot hear my voice
as I scream
in the darkness
Words like knives invade my soul
Lending strength to the whisper, the continuous refrain
That I am damaged goods
unworthy
unrecoverable
unloveable
I strain, I fight, to find Love's light
Always shoving aside the tender touch
the nudge
the faint flicker I blowout
Finally...
My struggles quiet, my thrashing stops
My battle is done, I can strive no more
And.....
In the silence, the stillness forms
And You reach out and touch
.....my heart
....my mind
....my soul
