Untitled Poem

One day the picture will be made true
One day we'll see the me and the you
The beauty of soul that was always there
But yet unearthed and now laid bare

The scratches and flaws now polished away
The stains of regret and of heartache and pain
The grief of our sin and the sins against us 
All lost in the light of the rising sun 

The leaves for the healing of nations 
The river of life for our thirst  
The joy of an unending morning 
Without ache or the fear of the hurt 

And the song that within us was growing 
We'll be made at last to sing out 
The sin that within us was groaning 
Will be, like the darkness, shut out 

Never again will we hunger 
Never again be enslaved 
Never again will we wander 
Our spirits will be unrestrained 
Free in the light of the Last One 
Free in the light of the First 
The Adam that came and the Adam that was 
And the Eve that gave second birth 

And we'll cherish the light of His promise 
No longer in hope but made true 
And we'll fear no more doubt 
but relinquish a shout 
at the glory of Bride and of Groom

  1. Hi Airtimes, very cool imagery here. It’s a lovely poem. I don’t poetry, so take the below ideas with skepticism as they might interrupt a flow or concept I’m not on the proper wavelengths to catch for myself.
    Probably just ignore everything I suggest on this topic. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to reading what you add next!

    The stains of regret, heartache and pain < maybe flow
    or
    The stains of regret of heartache of pain < maybe emphasis through repetition

    The grief of our sin and sins against us < flow
    All seared white in the light of a rising sun < imagery

    Leaves of palm for healing the nations < shot in the dark
    River of life to quench our thirst < imagery
    The living joy of an unending morning < probably making all things worse :)
    Without ache or fear of hurt < flow

    The Eve that gave second birth < repetition of previous line

    Again, probably bad suggestions, but figured I would try my hand anyway.
    Maybe add a title and site mod add “-author” for easy recognition?
