My Salvation
 |
| Photo: Google Image |
The
scorching sun
Beats down,
Sweltering…
A hot ball
of flames…
Searing all
that comes
In its
path…
I watch the
pure
Shafts, strong
and purposeful
Illuminating
the universe
And I think
of my heart
That was
Scarred and
torn…
The hell
fire that blazed…
Of agony,
longing and despair
Darkness
like a shroud
Loomed like
eternity…
Trapped in
the inferno
I was
consumed…
Writhing
and tossing
Lost and
seduced…
While Hope
Mocked and
jeered…
Until, one
day
A blinding white
light
Struck
down…
Humility
stormed
The dark
recesses of
My torn
soul…
Surrender
burnt into ashes
The
stubborn streak
Of sadness
that lingered…
My heart
was sanitized
Cleansed…
Leased a
second life
A second
chance
I was
freed…
Relinquishing
all
I found my
salvation…
Leased a second life, A second chance, I was freed… That's what we all seek.... Salvation

DeleteThis is glorious, Rimly! What fantastic imagery. And, yes, salvation!

Yes Martha, salvation! Thank you so much
DeleteSalvation is what we all need in the end. Life with all its brutal acts leaves us hapless. But hope keeps us alive. A small streak of light is all that a deprived soul needs to recover from its dire state.
ReplyDeleteWonderfully penned Rimly!
Sometimes I think Sui, it just needs a spark to illuminate your soul to come out of its despair. Thank you my friend
DeleteI pray that you always remain healed, happy and loved. A beautiful string of emotions, hope and courage. Love your sentiments, my dearest Outlier.

DeleteSalvation is a wonderful thing...The chains are cast aside and we're free to soar once again. The weight of pain,sadness, humiliationa are great but hope eases the burden until Salvation takes place. Your words paint a beautiful picture!!Rimly very nice!!

So truly said, David. Thank you so much, my friend
ReplyDeleteAs long as the heart beats there is hope for another spin on the red brick floor. I think (have seen) some go through life avoiding anything that might cause them pain and accept the life they have because it's safe and easy. I feel sorry for them. Even though I've had heartache I'd not change anything because it's made life so much more interesting and colorful. Life is meant to be lived.
ReplyDeleteYou and I talk the same language Brenda. I wouldn't trade my life for anything. I am who I am because of all that I have gone through.
DeleteReading your words is like looking at a movie!! Your imagery is amazing as you take us on a journey !!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Jim. Really missed your comments.
DeleteThank you Punam xox
ReplyDeleteOh Rimly, that sweet blessed release—surrender. Letting the ashes curl into history, pages of the past gone. Redemption illuminating the dark places.
ReplyDeleteThis was beautiful. So full of our humanity and the outstretched soul reaching for divinity. Lovely my sister poet.
Love!
Yes Leah to surrender... so tough but once done it is freedom. Thank you my friend
DeleteRimly, indeed our heart must be torn to shreds before we are able to reach salvation. It is only when we go through the process that we undestand why it was necessary and how it seems that we are given a second chance; one that we can only hope leads us to eternal salvation. Deep and moving, friend! :)
