Falling to learn to Get up

Once living the care-free life.... but taking a 180 turn in life. Living the high road wasn't good enough. I wanted to live life and find my own way through.... The only way I found was down. Rolling, falling... down-ward; over the hard earth, on the sharp rocks, through the deep rivers. Life beat me down. No where I was willing to go. To stubborn to turn back and make the climb soon enough that it would have been easy. No... Falling all the way down to the dark valleys. DARKNESS FELL

Blots of fire,
Ripping through the night
Striking the earth.

Clouds crashing,
Peals of thund
er
Shaking my innermost core.

The rain drops hitting my face,
Soaking my skin.
Wind pulling my hair,
Whipping it a
ll around.
Water rising, trying to carry me away.

Sky is alight with the constant bolts of lightening,
Rolling thunder and pouring rain.

My world is dimming;
Hopes fade as the clouds over take the sun,
The rain blinding my way.

Blackness.


That was all I knew. Nothing more than the sin that had carried me down...... But then.... A light, I shimmer of hope; Sparkling in the dark. Far off, but feeling closer and closer. I took the first steps toward the light. And day by day it got closer and brighter.
