MY JOURNEY BACK

MY JOURNEY BACK

A Poem by Tarella

I opened my eyes,
Nothing but darkness in sight,
Lost and confused,
A chilly feeling moved through my body,
And hope was nowhere to be found,
It seemed like a joke,
Slowly slipping away,
Until I was completely beguiled,
And too far away to reflect back,
To what was,between YOU and me,
At quite a young age,
I came across your path,
And at the utter of a few simple words,
Became your friend and child,
And together we journeyed happily,
Until,
I caught a glimpse,
Of something else,
A scent,
Of something putrid,
Yet alluring in an evil manner,
And just like that,
I drifted from you gradually,
We talked less,
We played less,
And I didn't hear your
Soft whispering anymore,
Too enveloped by my addictions,
Blinded by false love,
Carried away by a mirage,
The chrysalis was broken,
And the result,
A vulnerable,depressed me,
I'd gotten tired of it all,
Tired of living a life,
That wasn't even mine,
Tired of abusing,
The free gift of freedom,
You gave me,
On a platter of gold,
And in my lassitude,
I cried out to YOU,
For your beautiful mercy,
I cried out to YOU,
For that Love once again,
I cried out to YOU,
In my weakness,
To Save me,
Out of the darkness I'm in,
I can't see,I can't hear and I can't feel,
I'm just a lost child who needs a Father,
I looked down in shame and regret,
And a gentle,soft hand,
Lovingly wiped my tears away,
Reminding me of the
Price He paid,
Just to give me a beautiful life,
You created a clear lit up path,
And showed me the way back,
And all at once my heart,
Was comforted,
And that peaceful peace,
That nowhere else will I find,
Came over me,
I knew that this was IT.

Wow!! What beautiful tear jerking quilt of goodness. Your words are stitched with blood and sweat yet the edges are shining with the golden rays of the sun. The birds fly out of your words and sing its glories from your heart. I love your writing. So raw and from within the inkwells of your soul.
