Things to make you think

Something a little different

So this is something a little different, but I hope it makes you think.

Written in a poetry form; I do hope you will enjoy.

This is called Silence.

__

Inner thoughts are more deadly than spoken words

It all begins with silence

Silence lingers in the air like the pain of a recently broken heart

The deafening stillness pierces your ears

You're wishing for commotion to fill the dead air

But the only noise that seeps through

Is the growing whispers of the demons in your mind

They're draining your happiness like a melting ice sickle

A drop here and a drop there, never taking it all at once

Just enough to satisfy them while infecting you with the aftermath

The weight of their work is taking a toll on you

Your mind is enduring a beating stronger than it can handle

Blow after blow until you are laying in a pool of your own blood

Then they stand over you, gazing down at your lifeless looking body

According to them, they've won

When you start to heal, they become entranced

To them, it is like watching a movie on repeat

They know exactly how it is going to end every time

So they have the luxury of watching it play out over and over

But over time they become as greedy as a selfish rich man is with his money

A few drops of your happiness isn't enough to quench their thirst anymore

So they consume your happiness as a child does with water on a scorching summer day

By now you're wishing it was spoken words you had to cope with

Not these inner thoughts and this deadly silence

That gets shattered when evil decides to make a bed and settle in

Do not allow it to get that far

There is One more powerful than everything you are dealing with

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds

He wipes every tear from our eyes, comforts us in all our troubles

He will never leave nor forsake us

When His mighty voice speaks from above

Even the demons quake at the sound

They know Him by name and beg Him not to torment them

He overcame evil with good, He was our ransom

Nailed to a cross to deliver us from the consequences of our sin

Defeating the Devil and his followers as our Savior rose from the dead

He descended into Heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father

His love for us is so great He sent His only Son as an Atoning Sacrifice for Our Sins

Whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life

We have no reason to run and hide when we have Him on our side

He is Alpha and Omega, beginning and end

Don't allow these demons to grab ahold of you

Grab ahold of The One who makes those demons tremble in fear

The name that arises terror in them, the name you ought to speak

He goes by many but they all mean the same

King of Kings, Lord of Lords

Messiah, Our Hope

Redeemer, Risen Lord

Son of the Most High

Jesus Christ
