Darkened Letters
Darkened letters Shaded by despair Traumatised words The paper, they tear Rivers of pain Flow from my fingertips Ink black tears From my eyes, they drip Swallowed by darkness And a fountain of grief I fell into grace And He gave me His peace Continue reading

Yellowing grass Wilting trees Dried up lakes Dying seeds Wingless birds Haunted cries Motherless eggs Left to die Scorched ground Burnt dreams Ancient scars Still they bleed A dying wasteland Inside my heart The perfect place for Him To begin His new start Continue reading
