Sometimes when I am really struggling with things I am 'sent' poems. Things that I must write down and get them out. High School was really bad I have notebooks filled with poems from then ;)
Anyway, here are a couple that I want to share. Feel free to skip if you are not into poetry.
Shadow of the Past
Walking in the shadow
of what I once was
Not complete in form
restrained by forces
that lie beyond my understanding
It rises up again and again
I lose my step and stumble
Scars upon my palms and knees
Before me, where the shadow
cannot yet touch
A light shimmers
the sky glows
I stand still
knowing that I am the boundary
between the shadow of regrets
and the light of hope
I want no darkness to override the light
My body aches
My heart weeps salty tears
To move forward will be
to carry the shadow with me
Be Still
Be still and
Hear the bird that sings for you
Be still and
Feel the breeze I sent to you
Be still and
Smell the blossom I made for you
Be still and
Taste the food I give to you
Be still and
See the magic in the sky I create for you
Be still and
Learn the path I have for you
Be still and
Accept the love I feel for you
Be still and
Know I am God, Your Father
Peace,
Amy

These are beautiful Amy. I too have horrid notebooks filled. Even when I was a non-christian my poems almost always ended with a glimmer of hope. I didn't know why until I became a Christian, that was sort of neat.
Your writing is wonderful...
