Poetry

The darkness in me is summoned by tragedy,
oppression and the pain
that life sometimes brings and never I am truly free
while my tears are falling like rain
 
but in all things Your righteousness,
Your love and compassion
comes to me to bless, even in the nothingness
and in times of oppression
 
there’s a new light that I see,
while I look upon the cross, see You hanging in innocence
and even when my heart is full of anxiety
You bring me to acquittal from recompense,
 
to find inner strength and endless joy
instead of in anger that wants to destroy.
