Why Shall It Be?

Poem Commentary

A poem inwhich I made a journey out of the darkness of the night and into the light of heaven...

Why Shall It Be?

In the subtle arise of life out of the blank darkness of despair,

Comes forth a new horizon we share,

And on the extremity of the betroven tomorrow,

We find ourselves in tears of sorrow.

 

This is a day of bittersweet sorrow,

Of a long awaited tomorrow,

This is a day of extreme remorse,

In which God has taken his course.

 

Our souls lie in a world of confusion and turmoil,

Twisting and turning,

Our hearts lie burning,

And in a single drift of darkness,

We finally start learning,

"But what of you God?"

 

"Why have you forsaken us?” we say,

"Why do you not show us the way?"

A quiet time stills the rain,

In which we lie in pain.

 

And out of the cooling fire,

In the darkness of the eternal night,

Shines forth a guiding light.

 

And so our frightened souls bow in awe,

For we now understand his law,

We now realize that it is only us to forsake,

And only our souls we can take,

Our bodies lie buried and our souls lie carried,

For we are in his loving arms,

And only our sin is what thou harm.

 

And sinful we are such creatures,

Hideous in our features,

But out of love we are not discarded,

Or forever barbed,

But instead we are carded,

For the gates of heaven so parted.

 

And so I ask you God,

"Why do you spare such sod?”

And so with grace he nodded and whispered in my ears,

Words that brought me such tears.

 

He said upon me,

"Bare my beloved child of mine,

You ask me why I be so kind,

The answer lies within your heart,

For it is hear that I start,

But of ignorance you do not hear,

You just lie in fear".

And so I bring

You these words I will never forget I heard.

He continued to say,

"When I look in to your heart my child,

I see your soul is wild,

But within such a child,

You are blinded no more,

For you have learned to soar and see,

This is why it shall be,

You have learned to hold the key,

You have learned to see me,

And for within your heart you love me,

This is why it shall be"...

 

To truly find God,

You need only look within yourself!!!

The ending is great! Look inside and there he is. I do not understand this but I read it all the time. You got it right on the money. Love the part where you write, and so with grace he nodded and whispered in your ear. That part about the whispering. Really inventive. Never read that anywhere. You are definitely an original! You never did care about popularity. You were just you. Not so popular and not unpopular. Just you. Wore what you wanted to wear instead of trendy clothes all the time and were who you are and not trying to suck up to those around you to prove you were someone. I loved that. Your father was the same way. Exactly. I love this write. Also the sentence of our bodies lye buried but our souls he took away. Sometimes I wonder what did I do to deserve you? My poet, my son.

Through out history man has been searching for where God lives, where is heaven? I found that in the darknest of places, in the very dpeths of shadows is where you can find the brightest and purest of lights. Thanks again mom for the review and your thoughtful comments! Purity of the soul, journey well!!! Angel aka your loving son

This is a great poem with such a true statement at the end. God does reside in each of us and all we have to do is look within. 10 and into my favs with this one.

Poetry is what is lost in translation.
