Happy Sunday, Good People!
Here’s a new poem I wrote this morning to inspire hope in the midst of despair and life’s uncertainties. At first, I called the poem “I turn to You,” then I changed it to the current title below :

“The Gravity of You”

When the melody fades into silence,
You compose a new song within me.
When life’s embrace falters and releases its hold,
I turn to you, where dawn renews its promise.
If the sun hides its warmth at morning’s call,
Your steadfast star will guide my weary steps.

When the rivers and oceans run dry,
You will fulfill my need for water.
When my body becomes weak and my strength is gone,
In you I can be strong.
When the winds and storms of despair carry me away,
Your voice becomes the refuge that shields me.

When the land seems desolate and the leaves stop blooming,
You will plant the seeds of courage in me so my dreams might become the hope of tomorrow.
If despair consumes the path that I tread,
You are the light that engulfs me.
When my solitude weighs heavy and I drift without direction,
Your presence soothes my soul, and you remind me that I am never alone.
