Let Him Shine

The sky is dim
It is dark
Many are terrified
Others are comforted
By the light that hides
Beneath the dark,
Murky clouds
The blackened atmosphere
Doesn't scare them

A sudden light
Scares away the darkness
All are comforted
Released from their fear
By the bright, hopeful sun

But in reality
It is not the sun that saves
It is the son
The one and only son
Given to us by
The one and only God

Are you trapped?
Let God shine through your clouds
Allow Him to separate you
From the dark clouds
That still lurk in your life

  1. Taylor, I loved this poem! It was so inspiring. My favorite line was when you said, "It's not the sun that saves It's the son" I think that in your second line, "It's dark" you could add another word just to see if it would make the rhythm better. Otherwise, great job!

  4. This is a really cool piece! I like how you are not afraid to write about what you believe. Also, I like the ending of your poem because it's convicting in a silent way; it's a great finish.

  7. Sorry, I meant to say I love how it flows. Not how it rhymes. Sorry!
