When Still You Believe

When Still You Believe

A Poem by Melinda McQueen

When Still You Believe

 

It turns upside down,

Hitting bumps all around.

Moving at a speed

In which you can’t keep.

 

Thoughts filling the crevices of your mind,

Taking you with a deliberate sigh.

Though all say it can’t be,

When still you believe.

 

A Ferris Wheel ride,

Looking out from its heights.

Far away, yet seeing its wonder,

The “how to” is just a passing ponder.

 

A thought seemingly bigger than the Texas sky,

A feeling outweighing your ability to cry.

A far reaching dream continues to be,

When still you believe.

 

Daring to touch the stars

No matter how far they are.

Hoping one will fall into waiting arms,

Causing a consuming warmth.

 

When everything is stacked against,

And you’re on the other side of the fence,

Your faith grows more fully

When still you believe.

I agree dear Melinda.
"When everything is stacked against,
And you’re on the other side of the fence,
Your faith grows more fully
When still you believe."
The above lines are true and old Army wisdom. "All soldiers find God in the foxhole." Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

Amazing. I felt taken by this as I have not by many here at the Cafe. Thank you so much for sharing it with me (us) and please
(a far reaching dream continues to be when still you believe)
Continue to write these stanzas as well as you continue still to breathe. If I could award you more points I would. Thanks again for hitting me so softly right where it works the most.

We all seem to cry out to God more when we are in trouble. He wants to hear from us every day. Valentine

A lovely write on hope, reminiscent of the light at the end of the tunnel. The style, imagery simply flowed embracing the reader.
