A Way Out of No Way

[Auset]

when life has turned its face away
and trials bunch around you
when no one hears a word you say
and hate and lies have drowned you

when doors close fast and windows stick
and peace has turned to war
when you feel cornered in the thick
and ready to settle the score

when winter mocks the brightest star
shadows press against the day
remember God made who you are
and fears can never stay

no matter how long the road
how steep the hill you're climbing
no matter how heavy is your load
it's all just in the timing

for when we stumble in the dark
we trip on miracle jewels
that once the sun has risen up
turn adversity into tools

we laugh and wonder how we missed
the answer right before us
the door has opened, dawn has come
and God has heard our stories

do not look down and don't look back
listen to the silence say
"Be still and know that I am God"
I make a way out of no way

When we honestly do everything that we can, the Lord steps in to do the things that we cannot! God certainly blesses us for giving it all we have.
Thank you for sharing some of It with us!

Very elegant. I liked the rhyme. Why did you break form at the end? Enjoyed your writing.

I liked this piece it just had so many things to enjoy about it. The message in itself was awesome, I loved the idea of a guiding hand in the dark so to speak but I also loved the rhyme (I love a good rhyming poem) and the imagery. My favourite line was 'when winter mocks the brightest star' it was just some really great imagery. Thanks for sharing

A lesson I have to keep learning over and over again. *sigh* why do I never get it? Thanks for the reminder, Auset! Nice work.

This is an incredibly encouraging poem. Your rhythm and rhyme really make for a great flow to the whole piece.
Congrats on this well-deserved spotlight.

Way-to-go on this creative write on all this is is this all just a struggle and how to deal with it like writing poetry, "get this no way out of my way!!! - Falstaff

Now I have to put on my church clothes after the hatred that surged up in me,
reading eddie strayed's poem...
You nailed it Auset - his ways are not our ways...
congratulations on a well written poem.
