Under An Older Sky

This poem closes out the collection and I thought it was very fitting to do so. After reading everything in conjunction with one another, it serves as a joyful recollection of how far we have come. I feel that these poems have served to take you on a journey. You can clearly see darkness, hurt, longing, anger, and pain but there is also joy, light, rejoicing, and hope. The hope that comes only through Christ ensures that we do not despair. As we grow in our walk with Christ and, are over time, sanctified by the Holy Spirit, we gain wisdom. We gain peace. We rest easy knowing where our future lies. We praise God for our days and bask in his glory.

Lamentations 3:22-23

“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”
