My wife was a very very religious girl all of her life she was probably the reason why I am were I am today,she has great talents in her singing but more especially in her writing, her letters and poems are very striking, a few years ago she put all her religious stuff and guitar away in a box and slowly stopped talking about God it was kinda like we all didn't notice,she kept going to mass but it was like a light had went out in her..well she gave me this poem yesterday and alleluia praise God I think she is back, its the first time in years I have seen her write.... poem below.. she will probably kill me for posting this.. Ray of Hope Descending clouds of black and grey Are closing in, oh God I pray They’re closing in around my mind Unable to breathe, so full of doubt It’s getting hard to raise my head The weight it pulls me down instead The more I hope and try to see The dark clouds seem to follow me Evil searches out the pure The hurt, the pain that they endure It’s too much for my heart to bear The dark clouds seem to follow me A burst of light is what I need A hint of hope, my soul may feed The victims of mans evil freed Dark clouds ascending off of me The rays of light start streaming through They reach the heart and warm it new They whisper love and faith renew Dark clouds ascending off of me The innocence will have their say Their voices heard, for this I pray The earth will look to be renewed Bright sky’s are hanging over me.
Wow - seems she has been through the dark night of the soul. I think the poem is simply wonderful! You are a lucky man to have a wife that can write that
how very beautiful QuD!! You are very blessed that as a couple, you are both at or near the same level in your spiritual state. There are many here who are worried about their spouses needing to wake up. It does sound like she went through a dark night of the soul. I myself went through a dark night of the soul experience. It lasted about 2 years and ended about a year ago. I'm not saying I went through "the" dark night of the soul, but I think it was very close. I certainly could not have handled it much darker or longer though, I can tell you that. A lot of her poem resonated with me, that's for sure.
It sounds like she was concerned over the death, injury of the innocent. I wonder if the Church sex abuse crisis affected her badly?
The rays of light start streaming through They reach the heart and warm it new They whisper love and faith renew Dark clouds ascending off of me. I hope your still on planet earth, John. John, John...do you read me? I'm so happy your spouse has been touched with joy! Praise Father, Son, and Spirit, Three, Whose touched her heart and set her free, Has pierced our own by what she's penned, May we in turn true hope now send. Safe in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary!
