Eyes Searching

I started this poem when I was home over Christmas break to express how I was feeling during all the pain and chaos of the most recent events. I finished it (the latter half) when I returned to Louisville.

Eyes searching

Tears flowing

Flowing down

To the ground

Heart breaking

Soul aching

And is down

No hope's found

Darkness closing

Day's fading

Night abounds

All around

Vision leaving

Pain increasing

Relief's not found

Gonna drown

Prayers rising

Hope surprising

Do not fear

God is here

Darkness fleeing

Eyes are seeing

Faith is here

No more tears

Walls falling

Jesus calling

Grace is near

Hope appears

Joy springing

Praises ringing

In my ears

Christ is here!
