Oh God
This is the world , I find it in inkiness
I find it screaming and I find it not deserving as well
you understand this is why
I yearn for your light and for your relief measures
all the time
but you also know that despite having
all your light
I long for the darkness
as it forces me to seek your light ceaselessly
Oh God...

you have caught this qoute in a light I myself might have overlooked. you intrigue me with this. yet I still have this feeling that you could have said so much more. I understand though I set paramaters that probably closed many a persons windows in this contest. so good luck.

I had to read it a couple of times, but I like it. I am not one for the christian poetry, but it is different....

Excellent write!!!! so true that many never think of God until that thing happens they you feel only He the Lord can help and then he is prayed to almost as if we deserve his help. Powerful write with a powerful message..

An interesting concept...
An interesting concept; between our soul longing for the darkness and our spirit longing for the Light, Life will never be dull; personally, I hope that my spirit is stronger than my soul - to insure that I'll have personal victory by the end of my journey; nicely done.

i think this piece is very thought provoaking, at first i admit a didnt understand, but after reading your author comment, it makes sense to me and i think you are exacly right. i find this theme in my own life. good job writing a piece that many people can identify with and for many different reasons. thanks for sharing it. tim aka childofthenight

Think many find God before they get in serious trouble. Many are Christians from an early age and do not falter. Do not think that being in trouble should be wanted, just to be able to find God. Think one should look at it from another angle - God helps to keep the darkness away, but allows us to make the choice if we want to enter that void or not. You have painted a unique look at this subject. Easy to read and understand what you mean here.
