When Your Hands Are Empty #poemofhope #faithpoetry #spokenwordpoetry

There will be a season when you have done all you know to do and still, nothing. No answer at the door. No sudden change. No sign in the sky telling you that tomorrow will be kinder. Just you, your unanswered prayer, and the strange silence that makes you question whether God is still listening. He is. Do not mistake silence for absence. Some of God's deepest work happens without making a sound. Roots grow in darkness. Healing happens beneath skin. Morning begins long before the window knows there is light. And somewhere beyond what you can see, your life is being moved by hands you cannot follow. So do not abandon your faith because you cannot trace God's footsteps. You were never promised a clear view. You were given enough light for the next step. Take it. Even if your knees shake. Even if your heart has questions your mouth is afraid to ask. Take it. Faith is not a life without uncertainty. It is waking up with uncertainty beside you and refusing to let it choose your direc...

The Weight of Being Unseen #sadpoetry #prayer #freeverse

This feeling, so heavy it bends my breath, sits on my chest like a silent storm no one else can hear. I feel less human here, less than the voice I carry, less than the space I take, like I am fading in a place I once called home. Home… yet it does not hold me. Walls stand, But warmth is missing. The treatment, so sour, like biting into raw lemons, sharp, stinging, lingering long after the moment has passed. Every word, every glance, cuts quietly, not enough to be seen, but enough to be felt deep within. Oh God, Where are You? In this noise of silence, in this crowd where I stand alone, Do you hear me? I feel left out, like a shadow misplaced, like the black sheep in a field that refuses to know me. I try, I wake, I breathe, I endure, holding onto hope like a fragile thread that could break at any moment. Life grows heavier each day, Yet I carry it still, because somewhere in me a whisper refuses to die: Maybe tomorrow will be kinder. Oh God, If you are listening, Find me here, in this...

Remember Me, Lord #poem #prayer #freeverse

I live in turmoil, Lord, a restless storm within my chest. The night stretches long and heavy, and hope grows thin like the last candle flickering in the wind. I cry in silence, for the world does not hear the quiet breaking of a soul. My tears fall softly in the dark, each one a prayer too weary to speak aloud. Oh Lord, remember me. My days are numbered like fading echoes, like footprints washed away by the tide. Time moves quickly through my hands, And I stand unsure of where tomorrow leads. I have nowhere to run, no refuge built by human hands. The roads I follow circle back to sorrow, and the doors I knock on remain closed to my trembling heart. Save me, Lord. Remember me when I am lost in shadow. Hear my prayer rising from the depths where words become whispers and whispers become faith. For I am also Your child, though broken and weary. The breath within me still carries Your name even when my strength fades. Lord, let Your mercy live within me. Let it move through my being like ...
