A Single Tear

It seems i have fallen from your grace

i no longer see your face

so i sit to write but the words wont come

 

Tears roll down my face

it seems i have fallen from your grace

down trodden and all alone

no one to call upon

 

A deaf ear has now taken the place

of my God and his grace

though i walk through the valley of death

i do fear evil i feel alone my heart cold

and out of place

 

On my knees

on my face

praying to God to once

more show me his face

 

But not a sound

do i hear

only feel the warmth

of a single tear...

Thanks for sharing your spiritual side. I think many people can identify wih this piece. We all have those times when we feel disconnected and it is a lonely, barren place to be. Your words describe it very well. Nice work! I did want to mention in the second stanza, correction in the last line-should be "call upon", not "call up on."

This is a wonderful depiction of doubt. How could we be deserted? Why do I feel so alone? Who is listening, if not Him? Yet, the warmth of that single tear should remind us. A good write, Wordman

perhaps God's tear?? ;) your presentation has pulled melancholy's strings from the deep ..great song and artist ..your poem step by step leads me to that empty snowy trail ... so alone .. dang! have to prolong my coffee here at the cafe until i find some sunflowers ;)

ps very universal, personal and moved me to put all my own strings attached to it .. so sad!

[wordman]

This reminds me of the movie 'Silence' in which pleas for guidance from a Portuguese Catholic priest are met with just that. You capture such emotion in this Ron, a place many of us have touched.

[wordman]
