repost of poem dated 8/17/06 when I first came to poetbay and wrote as pj.

As a physical abortion cruelly robs a babe of life, so can Satan rob a person of their relationship with Father God.


Cold Side Of The Moon

I am on the cold side of the moon, shadowed from God's comforting hand
The sun cannot warm me here, no life moves in this land
I am in the deepest abyss of the ocean, no light beam can penetrate here
Black wet emptiness surrounds me, this is the womb of fear
I am in the lost confusion of mindlessness, where I claw and cling and grope
But there's nothing to hold on to, there's no reason to bring me hope

Inside walls of darkness, in a fetal curl I clinch
Demons cackle around me, as I pull and cinch and flinch
Loneliness enfolds me, as a comfort to a babe
Whose life has been stolen, before it's completely made

I was to live in splashes of sunlight, God made and God blessed
I was to run in puddles of spring rain, be tickled, patted and caressed
I was to sleep with musical teddies and passies and blankies of fleece
I was to see each day as a wonder and inspire the world to peace
I was to cause you to see in me, how God sees you in His plan
Now I'm on the cold side of the moon, shadowed from God's comforting hand
