I stand outside the fortress
a weed I sprout in fear
voices jangle, I try to hide
my head rattles ear to ear.
Have I lost my mind to think
the splinters would dissolvehow you pierced my heart again
a skewed image I can’t absolve?
And I was on my knees
and I was crying out to youseeking redemption, forgiveness
within this tainted view.
A cloak I felt enwrap me
pick me up, carry me ina vision I won’t long forget
the day you freed me from all sin.

I like this poem, Laurie. It begins with a pleading intentsity and ends with hope!
I would have to echo Mary's comment. We seek comfort in our beliefs and this time it was rewarded.

I like that you took this to hope, Laurie.
You took us from suffering to redemption with this poem, Laurie. Well done!
And now you stand within.
This has to be my favourite of this week's wordle poems. I admire your spirit!
Nicely done Laurie.
I like the progression from despair to hope, Laurie.
This is a strong piece, Laurie. I especially like "a weed I sprout in fear," and the love that underscores your final stanza.
