Killentime - Writing by Scott Killen.

Saved!

Posted on June 29th, 2008.

Dark future’s night­mare snares me again.
I lose myself in myself, unable to see the light.
Misery becomes the hunter.
I am the whin­ing prey, feet in the trap.

Hope’s promise comes born on angels’ wings!
I lose myself in You, unable to feel the dark­ness.
Your proph­esy hunts the hunter.
I am the washed sin­ner, hands ris­ing free.

I was lost and am found!
Blind yet now see­ing all!
Happiness rains from clouds!
Dread night­mare is no more!

     nun­yaa,

     I am sorry that you were rejected; but, the true Savior rejects no one.

     2 Peter 3:9 - “He is patient with you, not want­ing any­one to per­ish, but every­one to come to repentance.”

     Thank you for read­ing and shar­ing your thoughts!

   Wonderful poem! I love the hunter/prey metaphor you used in this. Excellent imagery and works so well right along­side the themes of dark­ness and light. I’m so glad you’re pub­lish­ing your poems, Scott. You are very tal­ented! I love you! Elysa
