I'm not sure what to take from that poem--either of them really--but they're clearly very heartfelt. You can definitely read your own perceptions into them. **huggles** Awww.

my response

Words still really don’t come
Feelings are still hard to share
Focus is still very blurry
But truth, shining brightly, is there.

Skeptic always, taught through
Questioning even what’s clear
Then suddenly it hits me
The answers are right here

Before me is the wall I built
of hate and despair
Over it my love forces me to look
I yearn for what is there.

Peace, Harmony, Joy and Love
Acceptance and forgiveness
All dwell outside my wall
Fed by the giver of life, to this I bear witness

Again a voice inside my head
heard deep in my heart
Told me the first step to healing
and implored that i take part.

Blind trust and faith
to overcome the wall
I listened and began to climb
Shortly I was astride, affeered I was to fall.

A voice cried out to me from the dark
“Come back - you’re just in a slump
You were happy, at ease, comfortable here.”
Another, from the far side said — “Jump!”

Fear gripped my heart and faith did, too.
I closed my eyes and let myself fall
I tumbled slowly through the dark
I was free of the wall

I stepped blindly on a road
I could not see
I trusted someone would be there -
to Guide me.

That’s where I met my God.
Blind faith and trust in truth
were all he asked of me for a start
I bare my eternal soul as proof

The search is over
The battle is being won
My love claims victory
My heart chose the holy one.

I am speechless. This is a very moving poem. I have read it three times, and each time I get something different. It feels like pure power - the heartfelt raw emotion transferring onto the page. Too many amazing lines to quote. We will all take different things from this - but one truisum will remain a constant. Lugh - you are an extremely gifted writer. All I can say is wow.
