LOST

And the rain will batter you
Splash across your face
With such fury that you know
Surely you must drown.

Not unlike the tears of sorrow
Humanity has wept,
Ever since it all began,
To no avail.

And you go away to wander
Where, the winds know best
Constantly blown, turned about and lost,
From yourself and all who seek you.


And the rain will lash you
Cutting across your soul
Seeping into your very being
Until you are to see

Not unlike the tears of sorrow
That are building up
A torrential torment within me
Symbolic of what, I do not know

Only that they are choking me
With such great intent
Yet I have not the words, not understanding
To explain its mystery to you.

(Written several years before I came to Jesus...)

This would be a great poem to write a sequel for. LOST was before you became a Christian. What is life like since you have been FOUND?

Dear Marijo, I can relate oh so well and you have articulated the feelings so well. Congratulations on being a "JEWEL!"

You were looking for Him even then and didn't know it. Good example of life without Him.

Beautifully written, poignant thoughts of being without Jesus. I hope you write (or have written) a sequel.
