Sonlight


Shall I rise again?

When sorrow's come and gone.

Will I lift up my head,

And see once more the sun?

The darkness seems to drown me.

Light shines through no more.

I'm trapped beneath a violent sea,

Falling towards its floor.

Happiness is but a dream,

And peace a fantasy.

Monster's round me seem to teem,

Laughing at me terribly.

Oh! My heartache's greater still

I begin to wish to die.

My soul has finally lost its will,

To keep some hope alive.

A glimmer's seen, the light of fire.

Who stirs my watery grave?

None would take a chance so dire,

My spirit just to save.

A man appears and comes to me.

He takes my hands, then hugs my neck.

From darkest bonds He sets me free.

I go to follow at His beck.

The monster's scream, they flee this place.

His light they cannot stand.

For I have now been saved by grace,

Ahead of me is land.

Darkness hides and light comes forth,

To ne'er be lost again.

In Christ, I found my spirit's worth.

So now, my heart will mend.

I've risen from the darkest night.

Over evil, I have won.

Today I live in brightest light.

For I have seen the Son.


Yea, though I walk through the valley

of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil;

For you are with me.


Hello again!! I was speaking with a friend the other day about how frightened people must feel to commit suicide, and this was the result. I woke up that night with this running through my head, and had to write it down. It's awful how once an idea strikes you, it won't leave until you do something about it! LOL

Hopefully, the poem will help tell those suffering from depression that there is someone who cares, and who will help them find hope again. God love us all, and will support us when darkness seems to overwhelm us.

Anyway, I hope y'all like it, and please review. Compliments are always welcome, and constructive criticism is a great help so long as its said nicely. Otherwise I'll just ignore it. :) May God recieve glory! classacte
