On Mondays I take time to pour over poetry, both my own as well as others. I came across this one I wrote a few years back (the date and time of composition formed part of the title). It took me back to a time where my heart was restless and hurting. There was a struggle to equate the deep sense of sorrow and rejection I was feeling with the faith that was emerging. Like a glove, God’s love covered me. It didn’t however, numb the pain. Enjoy…
The Stake
27th sept 08
Once I fought to stay
Now I fight to say goodbye
Not for yours but for my sakeThe stake that lives
In the space I twice tried to give away
Makes the beats from my heart
Cause my world to shakeGoodbye all,
Forsaken moments,
You’re broken pieces of my own weaknesses,
Constant instances of failed strengths
That I struggle to exist in,
And you’re not helping by resisting
So…
Let me serve my King
Unless He brings you back,
I won’t budge© Denis Adide 2008
If we ENDURE with Him
We will also REIGN with Him.
It's Complicated
