The puddles are still near
though the flood waters have receded.
Yet, I am blissfully unaware.
The splendor of your love
so shines in my heart
and lifts my soul
that I am blinded to all else.
I see only blue skies
lit with sun so radiant
that like the birds of the air,
I soar to new heights,
all the while singing your praise.
The storm has passed
and the memory of it has gone;
leaving, in its wake
a new day,
a new life,
a new spirit within me.
I am rested.
I am reborn.
I am free.

Thanks Sis!
I really love your poem, it is so soothing and inspiring! Thanks for sharing this tonight!
You’re welcome brother. It kinda flowed out of me. A picture drawn of how I was feeling . . . I’m so glad you liked it!
Your poem reminded me of a rainbow after a storm! Beautiful!
