Dawn Of Light

Description:
one of my better works
I just wrote this after reading "the choices we make" by another elite poet. Lately it seems like God has been warning me about the choices i am making. her poem was the "final blow". i broke down and wrote. God turned on that light. I've been hiding in the dark since the beginning of summer: my own best friend didn't know I'm a christian... i wouldn't know, either with the way i act. Anyway, this poem is about making that final commitment of giving it up to God: the one where, when you truely mean it, you get butterflies. yeah...

Dawn Of Light
I blink... once, twice, over and over trying to adjust my eyes to the light turned on inside of me Something has shifted like sand right after high tide the light's turned on inside and... I'm changing I'm seeing things differently the world's a new place Rough edges have been smoothed my vision has improved I'm no longer afraid of that shadow lurking behind My focus is no longer on the dark but my eyes are on the light My face glows my heart knows no fear It is the dawn of a better day No longer will I say I'm afraid of what I do not know I will shine my light on the path that is right for me I will never loose track of where I tread nor will I ever tremble in the dark again I have restored my sight Something has begun the dawn of a new light. |

I, in the past, have felt this way before, and I'm so happy for you to get to experience it. It is a lift of the spirit into a higher realm. Congradulations. You have taken the first big step of self-transformation and enlightenment! This is a great poem! It has great feeling behind it. When you smile, others smile back. | | Posted on 2004-10-06 00:00:00 | by Victoria | [ Reply to This ] | |
