When hard times inspire ...

I recently discovered that: great disappointments in life bring out your true character and personal nature . You discover the essence of your soul and truly evaluate everything that you live for once a dream that you had been hoping and praying for falls to the ground.
Your optimism is tested, and your courage refined.
I often think, maybe the creator of the universe is trying to tell me something. This defining moment is one where you never look back . You stand exactly where you are and accept your mistake, learn from it .
You look to the future and refuse to be defined by your current status.
Most importantly. You find yourself. And you find God .
This next poem I wrote was inspired from a series of my diary entries straight after I had received quite physically the biggest disappointment I'd  ever experienced. It was a dark time. But things are much more clear when you see through God's eyes. I know it wouldn't have happened if it wasn't meant to be . I trust the divine will; and am expectant and resilient for whatever the future may bring.

The Faith

I can't see this as I write it.
The darkness is closing in.
I can't see it as I imagined ,
Like the fall away from sin.
The scene of hope is lost and gone,
The future seems bleak and dark -
but that's my eyes,
and in deep disguise,
I know my heart.
There's a hope buried deep beneath the ground,
Where soul and spirit meet .
There's an inner strength, I know will rise -
Though see still my heart is weak.
There's a hope, hidden deep in the sound of a tomorrow,
Ignited by the Maker Meek.
And a light at the end of this night.
A faith - for which I seek.

The Journey

Even now as I look out to the passing blue above me,
Even now as I write my thoughts on the shades of white in front of me.
Even now as I hear the wind blowing through my window pane ...
I think .
I wonder .
On the life that is ahead of me.
On what day will I see the world for what it truly is ?
At what time will I realise how precious it is in passing ?
Which hour will bring God's greatest gift into my life -
And how will the most significant minute arrive by my side ?
At what moment -
Will joy overflow with abundance and fill my heart ?
These questions follow me day and night,
 but still The unanswerable answers continue my mind to fill.
How soon will the time be ?

Dear God the way, please show me.
And help me to enjoy the journey.
