Description
“This feeling is worldly.”He says, glancing over her
She shivers and quivers like a child
Her eyes begging for mercy.
A gentle touch he has
As he moves the hair from her face
Not grimacing at the tear stains
And small jagged cuts.
“She did not mean it, truly.”
He whispers in her ear
Carefully dressing the wounds
And dried blood.
“All my life…”
She begins hesitantly,
Fighting the rage in her fingertips
The fire in her belly.
“Shhh…”
He wraps her with his arms
And the shuddering disappears
She awakens, realization fresh
The day has risen before her
He has placed the sun in her sky
She must go forward.
“You get what you pray for,”
She says as she closes the door.

Interesting... I'm not really sure the feelings it leaves me with, but excellently done, any how.

The first four stanzas I found really quite unsettling for they seemed to have a really sinister undertone but once the fifth kicked in it became very warm and soothing.
I love the personal touch "He has placed the sun in her sky" gives it.
I don't necessarily agree with the penultimate line but I admire your faith and think this is brilliantly written.

Thank you. It's sometimes hard to express a christian philosophy without getting too preachy...
