At sunset, he comes to the brink of the river Gazing afar, he beholds the beauty of the firmament unattached Weighed down, his heart seems to linger in oblivion Surrounded by the pain of the past The deck of anguish is how far he could walk So dark is his night within That in broad day light he seems in shadows groping Everything about his life looses colour in black and white Though he has so much to be thankful for unaware But languid in monochromes pattern, A recluse to death he has become Slowly his pain has eaten him up Leaving only a shadow of who he once was So hard it is to behold the carcass Of a once vibrant soldier of love Now heedlessly strolling upon the river banks Though clarity streaks in flashes of light Suddenly he hears a voice deep inside saying Let go and live again Let go and let Me wash the grief away Let go and let Me put you together again With his head bowed and eyes closed Adrenaline rushes through The pain and the hurt, envelopes him in a blitz Throat tightening, blood pumping Beads of sweat breaks out over his heart in a whiz The anxieties of his past, the concerns for his future The insecurities for His tomorrow They come flooding in a surge Causing him to Fight the battle of his life Mind focusing on The Truth He makes a resolute decision A conclusion that holds His future in ransom Birthing His life anew Suddenly he exhales Letting the pain be blown away His next breath slow and quiescent He inhales the freshness of the day Turning his back to what used to be important Then the light beams brighter Sunshine swiftly invading the sea of pain and anger Ripples of newness streams to the coastline Totally erasing his grief with the waves of life Dark clouds dissipates as sunlight penetrates Turning night to day a silver lining forms to celebrate As sunset is erased, the panorama of a new day awaits The mountain of fear is left behind demolished By the intense radiance of sunshine in His wake Fresh ripples of grace flows within Grace for grace is the new song to sing Walking away from the banks of pain A new melody rises within A song of newness, hope and love A song of joy that brings him to what lies beyond A song of healing beyond the hurts That birth anew a fresh man from the blue #grace, #Jesus, #sunlight, #sunshine, #dissipates, #dark, #image, #newness, #new, #healing, #pain, #health, #truth, #bytruth, #joy, #emotions, #fear,
