My life closed in...
A sudden darkness swept over me.
It seemed so overwhelming.
My world crumbled.
It fell apart, shattered...
And what remained...
In tatters.
I had no hope... I gave no hope.
I bottle everything up inside,
Dark clouds threatened to swallow me.
I just desired to crawl inside myself
And hide.
Alone.
A very special angel and friend
Stepped softly into my life,
Taking what was out of focus,
Out of rhythm
Blessing me with hope to find myself again.
I couldn't give up... I couldn't give in.
You see... I've been to that brink and back too many times.
I've walked that lonely path,
But never to its conclusion.
I just needed to relax... humble myself
Focus my entire being on Christ.
There I would find myself
Within the Godly realm of my mind.
Author notes
This is a very personal one... recently, I had lots of things going on in my life and I just lost focus somewhere on the road. I had thoughts running through my mind, I hadn't had in years. My angel and my friend stepped softly through my life and showed me the way back to Christ. She's a blessing to me.
Thanks.

My world crumbled.
It fell apart, shattered...
And what remained...
In tatters.
Those lines were so strong!
It's great how you ended with how God saved you.

BEAUTIFUL!
So many of us especially in today's ugly world find ourselves confused and not knowing what way to turn. It always though comes that special person or feeling from down deep that pulls us back to our serenity and love.
