This is the only poem from my current collection that actually has a creative title, ha. I wrote it early in the morning on Tuesday, May 7, between shifts. It’s much shorter and has more structure than the others, but it speaks volumes. I think the title sums it up just fine.

This one was written last Monday night, May 6. It actually kept me up too late on a work night, but hey – God is good, and I wanted to write it down! Ha. So, here we are. It’s a bit of a manifesto in a way, though I want to write something geared more towards that specifically. But, this is very much a testament to God working His miracle in my life.

This one… this one was a little unexpected. This piece also came on a Saturday night after church and dinner, Saturday April 13. The initial concept and image popped into my head, but after I sat and wrote it all out, it ended differently and took a different tone than I initially thought. For a while after that, I didn’t see it as “powerful” or “intense” as my others, particularly poem two. But then God showed me in a very real way just how much truth these words hold, and now I am so grateful and honored that He is using me to share such a powerful truth.

This one is definitely very raw and real. It came on a Saturday night late, March 23, after church and dinner. It speaks to a very specific struggle, a very intense and dark struggle that I held onto for far too long. The events leading up to this poem and this lesson… I can only point to God in His infinite love and wisdom for orchestrating everything so perfectly.

This was the first one, written March 10. Sunday noonish, right after church. Fairly early into the journey.

I love to write, and I enjoy writing poetry. So, in light of recent events and the fact that the light is starting to shine more and more into the darkest parts of my life… I figured I would share some of my poetry, particularly from this recent season. Only one of them (of the poems I have so far) actually has a name; the rest are just numbered.
