Toward The Light

The moment of change.

For God so loved the world
that He gave up His only begotten Son
so that whoever should believe in
Him would never perish but have everlasting life.
John 3:16


I walked toward the Light
The place it shone down
Silence faded away
I heard crying all around

I saw first the cross
I saw the man nailed there
I saw His blood, their tears
Of the divine I became aware

The light shone, I cried
I saw Him raise His head to look at me
I felt the burning deep inside
I stood there, I would not flee

I felt cleansed, I felt healed
I dropped to my knees and cried
I prayed like I never had before
I wept with the others when He died

The Light faded I stood alone
Forever changed was I
The Fire burned in me forevermore
Now I knew why I was alive

I agree with Damien Thibodeaux. The feelings in this poem are exquisite, very uplifting and a real sign of versatility in your creativity. Great read.

I like the gentle rhyme you have going also, like the form. Also I counted the use of 'I'. It appears 3 times in verse one and by the time we get to verse four it appears 6 times, making verse fours seem the most intense in the poem. Verse five is like a gentle wind down.
