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.
