          PAIN

     © 2007

     

    Deep down my spine I feel the twinge

    Of an excruciating pain

    Like a bullet from a gun

    Forcing itself to the inner man

    And twirls itself around,

    Disfiguring and distorting the beauty of God’s love.

    Pain! Pain! Yes, Pain!

     

    Pain! It warps, it alters, it deforms,

    Yes! I can feel it-emotional pain.

    It rages deep inside and transforms my perception

    Then explodes like the blast of a cannon,

    Splitting the air with its blistering steam like a volcano

    And blemishes the glory deep within.

    Pain! Pain! Yes, Pain!

     

    Pain! It hurts, it mars and it tarnishes,

    Blasting like a dynamite breaking a hard rock

    And damaging the charm that God has placed within.

    Yes! It does, it makes me want to quit

    But I won’t let it control me!

    I will let go and let God!

    Pain! Pain! Yes, Pain!

    Pain! Yes, Pain!

     

    Attacking like a bandit in the dark,

    Robbing and destroying the love it never sows

    Harvesting the seeds it never plants

    And leaving me shabby, tatty and frayed

    Dismantling my features then say goodbye

    When I appear hideous, gruesome and aged.

    Pain! Pain! Yes, Pain!

     

    Pain! It comes like a faithful friend

    Who holds you taut in his arms

    An ally who makes many promises yet never accomplishes them

    One who never wants to let go

    But when he does you’re left in the cold

    To bear the hurt that lingers ceaselessly.

    Pain! Pain! Yes, Pain!

     

    Despite the pain my destiny belongs safely in the hands of Jesus; the author and finisher of my faith.

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
