Heart of clay

by cowgirlstar26   Nov 2, 2007


It's the end of silence
the bitterness was gone
her anger ceased
she sang her own song

she was whole for once
no remorse for her life
a few hidden scars revealed
no more desperate lies

she cried out to God
she crawled into his hands
forgiven, he molded her heart
like a potters clay, it had a plan

she knew it was time
no more hiding within the dark
she found all she needed
when she was sleeping in his arms

to feel loved, to feel safe
that's all she wanted
but she found so much more
more than what she needed

no more tears would hit the ground
God wiped her memories away
starting all over again
with no scars, no pain

Thank you God for bringing him into my life, Sam your everything good in my life.

    In my opinion, slightly simple but effective, pwerful and moving. I'd love for someone special to write a poem about me, your Sam really is lucky =].

    'to feel loved, to feel safe
    that's all she wanted
    but she found so much more
    more than what she needed'

    This is the only stanza that doesn't really rhyme, and at first read it seemed a bit out of place, but going back through the poem I think it gives a bit of punch and it's a really key point - it sort of gives the reader something to think about rather than just being a straightforward (boring) poem.

    I love the fact that the poem could either be about a new love or just God. 'Sleeping in his arms' could refer to God as well after all..

    I think perhaps the one thing you could do with in this piece is some punctuation. It could just give the poem a bit mor structure and let the reader know when they need to stop and take a breather rather than flowing most of the way through..

    All in all, great work and I really enoyed reading and cmmenting on this piece - Thanks :)

    Sole, x
