The Unknown
One can always tell
When he lingers nearby
Clad in foreboding shades
Which glimmer for the joyful eye
Dwelling beneath darkness
Residing around the bend
Dancing with Hope’s willowy frame
Harmonizing Fear’s laments
He speaks as a quiet whisper
In the corner of a lonely room
Promising life changes
Of untold fortune
After you first meet him
You feel completely lost and alone
As you watch him captivate
A treasure that felt like home
He isn’t all evil
Simply unstable, unsure
And after you encounter him
You’ll be better than before
For, through pain he makes strong
The beating of a broken heart
He opens your eyes to others’ pain
For you have been where they are
He makes you grow, reach, and stretch
And though the process is painful
But one day, you will look and see
That the scars make you beautiful
The unknown is such a scary place in our lives. I really don’t like it. I genuinely like to know what’s going on in my life! So, when I find myself caught in that moment of, “Oh gracious… what is happening…” It’s really easy to feel like you’ll be there forever. And you tend to skip back and forth between fear and faith, hope and reason, reality and what you see beyond this moment. Sometimes it is so easy to get caught up in the here and now, that we forget that… in 24 hours, today will be yesterday…. And soon, it will be last week, then last month, then last year… then “That bad time several years ago”… but we’ll never be in it forever. Every second brings us one step closer to the end of this chapter and the beginning of a new page.
That’s one of the things I love about life… it’s always going…
This poem format is a,b,c,b,d,e,f,e, etc. so basically, every other line rhymes!
I hope you enjoyed!
