the tempest

By Channa

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

This battle rages within my soul the war has been won, I've been told then...Why do I feel so lost and worn Fears all around me, I am torn As a ship in high sea tossed about I am in tempest, I have doubts You came into my life as a surprise Where I could go for a reprise Confusion fills my tortured mind I am like a leaf, thrown into the wind The truth in You, I must regain still, my undying love You retain The color of my world has waned to palest shades now, untainted Longing for the peace I once knew I seek now, Your pure morning dew Help me to follow only You Please renew my faith anew weld in my heart, the love that I need to love others and to walk in Your lead Written October 18th, 2001 © on Oct 18 2001 04:15 PM PST   0 • 10
