No voice of reason; no comfort found
With the world closing in from every angle
A noose around the neck as if to strangle
Pleas for mercy get stuck in throat
Safety seen beyond impassable moat
And hope is but a word the faithful use
Done everything humanly possible; no more clues
And then the problem has been made clear
No human truly this weight can bear
Eyes turn to Heaven in silent prayer
Voice to frail for ears to hear
Unsteady ground with faith so weak
Yet have the strength and courage to seek
For the silent prayers He not only hears
But that inhuman weight He easily bears

When Faith is Weak

When faith is weak, on unsteady ground
No voice of reason; no comfort found
With the world closing in from every angle
A noose around the neck as if to strangle
Pleas for mercy get stuck in throat
Safety seen beyond impassable moat
And hope is but a word the faithful use
Done everything humanly possible; no more clues
And then the problem has been made clear
No human truly this weight can bear
Eyes turn to Heaven in silent prayer
Voice to frail for ears to hear
Unsteady ground with faith so weak
Yet have the strength and courage to seek
For the silent prayers He not only hears
But that inhuman weight He easily bears

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
