Another powerful poem Ilya wrote. I really enjoyed reading this one, hope you do too!
Now i wait in hope for light
For t’is here, the terror of night
Crrrack, and Boooom!
Thunder strikes with certain doom
Hoped for joy, but only gloom
I want rest, but not a tomb!
Save Me God! to Him I cry
Waiting now for His reply.
Through the rain I hear Him say
“Spread your wings and fly away”
But my Lord! I think I’ll die!
To my doubt will you reply?
Great! ..perhaps, ill wait for dawn
But the storm keeps pressing on!
Now, the only thing i see
Water rising like a sea
If something don’t change, and soon
I will never see the moon!
Save me Lord again i cry..
And hear rain but no reply.
Ok, Lord, now Here i go
Off the ground myself i throw
I spread out and flap my wings
Leave behind all earthly things
To obey you Lord, you see?
I am praying you save me!
Flying up high feels so weird
Right into that which I’ve feared
By the storm, I’m surrounded
Not at all being grounded!
Lightning flashes by my side!
LORD!! You see?! i almost died!
“Higher fly” was His reply
I Say, What?! and Where? and WHY?!
All my senses say to stop!
In this storm you’ll die and drop!
Who to listen to i must!
Choose, the Lord in Him I trust!!
Flapping now and with a roar
Through the darkened clouds i tore.
Suddenly the sky grew still
And my eyes they took there fill
Over clouds, a starry night
Up here peace instead of fright
I thought darkness, but here light!
No more pain, but God’s delight!
Praise Him for He brought me Through
Past and beyond what i knew
Oh thank you Lord, that i flew
And received this awesome view!
Oh, Lord my heart yearns for you!
You are faithful, kind and true!
I give up my life to you!
Jesus Lord, I do Love you!
