'Tis the Night (Tritina Style)

-


'Tis the night before my new life begins.
What will happen as the new day emerges,
Fear, regret, or earnest expectations?

"Nothing ventured, nothing gained:" or just futile expectations,
While a scenario of possible failure begins.
Through the clutter of thoughts, hope emerges.

Confidence of a bright future emerges,
Making me a slave to raised expectations.
A smirk, a smile, a new expression on my face begins.

My new life begins, emerges, with glorious expectations.

Inspiration: This poetic piece describes anticipation that we all feel when embarking on new endeavors; the Christian remains confident because of Christ's presence. Based upon Philippians 1:6 - "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ." ~TRP~

Working Mother

  The day begins with shouts and screams children needing to be fed and cleaned The night passed away so fast Feelings of rest just don't last Offspring now are off to learn Spouse departs under pressure to earn Alone in the house with her thoughts Dreading the future demands of her boss Dressed, pressed, and neatly groomed Off to work fighting against inner gloom Visions of a future where labors cease Bring comfort to the present times of no relief A woman worn, weathered, and watchful Holding the family together against the doubtful A precious jewel above all others Bow in reverence to the working mother. Inspiration: Poem demonstrating the life of a working mother. Today's working mother is what I call today's The Modern Virtuous Woman. Based upon Proverbs 31:10 – "Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies..” © 2021 The Refined Poet. All rights reserved.

My Closest Companion

-
Image
Why do I hurt without injury? How is the pain of my soul so great? Conflict. Tension. Frustration. My addictions. My comforts. Freedom from self alludes me. Anxiety, my closest companion. Its twin, fear, my constant night visitor. Peace will not return my calls. Happiness ignores me. Freedom from emotions disappoint me. Should I end it all? Maybe this inner turmoil will pass. Where is the prescription for this ill? I feel so alone. I feel so crowded as well. Trapped. Falling in a bottomless well. Freedoms from thoughts evade me. How long will this be my existence? Only the heavens know. I do find relief in knowing, It is this anxiety that reminds me that I am alive. Conflict. Tension. Frustration. My addictions. My comforts. Freedom from self doesn't concern me. Inspiration: Poem written for a poetry contest. Though we may all face anxiety, Christians are to cast all their cares upon Christ because He cares for us. ~TRP~ © 2021 The Refined Poet. All rights reserved.
