AT THE CROSS

(poem by Mercy Susanna)

Into the heart of the city

Ran with fastened shoe lace

Back pack almost hefty

out of the world at fast pace

Laid my eyes on two road-steads

one the narrow and the other wide

with traffic lights greens and reds

Former can I flee to hide

Trotting into shrinking street

bugs and grass itch my limb

Step by step as I sneak

leaving behind the somber grim

Sinking sounds of crowded barney

Sniffing scent of floral bloom

Sudden stop like a troop of an army

that halted at the summer noon

A structure seemed like painted cross

Dripping sinless blood across

Inclined to ground in a distance mile

Efface the shame of foxy guile

“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many." Matthew 7:14 ESV

Met her in my college days

Young and light and apple face

Oh so beautiful she

Promised her life with me

You hop from clouds to stars

Setting me behind the bars

Now that I am weak and lean

Impatient, restless to glean

Take me too, my darl!

I'm waiting for the call

He is

B r o k e n

Running, chasing dreams

Raring to rise the realms

Hey! I've got the key

There's none ever like me

One by one

the hope's grounding

Day by day

My faith starts fading
Isn't that ruining me?

Oh, how could this be?

He is

B r o k e n

Dark and lone night

She sits under the sky

Setting out the fight

As folks passing by

Weary and withdrawn

Wrestling deep inside

The scars had never gone

In her do they abide

Watching and waiting..

She is

B r o k e n

One that taught you walk

The one that pat your back

His vocals part of the radical

How could you turn a prodigal

Oh my! Oh my lad

with open arms your dad!

He is

B r o k e n

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

Psalm 147:3


*The world is full of brokenness around. Every person goes through testing and trials. Waiting patiently, understanding the situations and visualizing God's plan for your life will lead you to Him. This poem is an emotion of few such people in the realistic world.
