An acquaintance I made in the dark

An acquaintance I made in the dark

A Poem by Latifa

panting breaths 
strangled with coiling shadows
I run and run 
to find a saviour
I gaze up to the sky
and there he was 
so ravishing with his silvery beams 
that penetrate the core of the vacant body
and warm it 
prudish, he sits on a throne of yellowish clouds
followed by million joyful stars 
his wisdom is overwhelming
I bend my knee and rest on a tree
to catch my breath and ponder in the mighty moon
stroking me with caressing touches 
he asks my wrenched mind
what have got into you my child
and my tears were the answer
he grinned a pity smile and said
fear not my child
 cry not my child 
God is caring and sorrows never last
I've watched over this poor earth from 
the first pace of humanity that stepped in 
and with certainty I tell you
raise patience in your heart 
and hold no hatred
forgive whoever wronged you
and embrace peace to live in peace
love is the mender
and forgiveness is the true treasure

finally i got to read a beautiful poem about faith. It's so comforting to know God has been looking over everything, and still looks over us till today. Lovely poem :)..

thank you dear
This is a sombre poem, yet not negative, very religious in a wider sense. Enjoyed it. Just one question, do you mean God or god? If you mean God in a universal sense you have to use the upper case. Good write.

I take this as a wonderful message to humanity dear poet. I like the wording : " Sorrows never last."
I'm so glad you are pondering the questions of life and faith. We have to have that patience , forgiveness and above all love as our great prophet taught and other God's messangers in history...Excellent...:)...................
