Array ( [sid] => 116382 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => OCEAN [time] => 2006-03-13 22:37:31 [hometext] => THIS IS A SPIRITUAL SELF STRUGGLING POEM ABOUT MYSELF- BUT IT HAS A RESOLVE AND IM DOING BETTER [bodytext] => i am drowning in an ocean
the current is pulling me in
strong and forceful it is i feel it sucking me in
the whilrwind of this ocean-
the death thereof is becoming
quite desireable and enticing
for i have been stubborn
wanting to walk the road alone
wouldnt ask for help wouldnt trust the lord
too caught up in my pain
to let the lord take it away
and the drops of trials
continuously falls
until finding myself out here
drowning in an ocean of water

i have had my pttiy party
all in all giving up my dignity
letting myself go
i begin my walk down hells road-
shattering my once hard rock foundation land
to nothing but tiny grains of sand-
i am out here in the depth of the ocean
with nothing for me to grab on-

i once started walking on the shallow end
where the water barely got my feet wet
pitter pattering around
i play with the idea of going out
for as i see the drops of trials
my stubborn will follows
determined i can walk out in the ocean
and the mouth thereof cannot swallow me in
so, dareing myself to step out a little bit
to test the waters to see
how far they would take me
but each step i took
some good i forsook
and my tiny grains of sand
now being swept up by the ocean
i now have no foundation

and now the current has a hold of me
forceing me in too deep-
with complete hold of me
its squeezing the life out of me

pulling me down
i begin to cry out loud
screaming as i should,
to the lord i pleaded
it funnny how we only think of him
when death is threatening to take us in
but still the lord knows
of my humbled soul
i should have never tried my path alone
the hard way i had to learn my lesson

but some one once told me
God allows us to go through such things
because they bring us where he wants us to be
that is down on our knees, closer to he
now thanking him for his kind mecy
i take the faith that i have inside of me
and then believe he will come rescue me
as my fingertips begin to slip
while the water takes me all the way in-
i cry silently loud to myself
i will not fail now, my faith
for i already failed it once
and that got me here in this disasterous mess
finally, i then feel it, the touch of his hand
he pulls me up taking me to safe dry land
water dripping off my body
in heavy sheets falling
i feel as though i have been washed clean
for indeed i have been brought closer to he
stronger in the faith stronger in my soul
closer to God than ever before
my soul rests from the torment and anguish
within me faith takes its place
as my soul is nurtured and fed
it is amazing to see the touch of the masters hand
teach heal and strengthen me again
it is good to be back on hard rock foundation
for i am on the right path again
holding tight, the lords hand-

Shanna what a beautiful testimony this is. You took me with you into that deep ocean and out, my soul was baptized in your write, it was so beautiful. I will read it again and again. RaquelLeah
