HIS WORDS, NOT MINE

Lately, I have been

sitting on the edge

with a pledge

to merge my

thoughts together

But today,

As I sat on the edge,

I wept bitterly with

no one to console me

and none to help.

I wept bitterly from

the core depths

of my being
yet, not a single tear

ran down my cheek.

My heart ached

and cold chills

ran through my spine,

as my mind raced

faster than its body;

And just when

I got up to go,

I saw certain words

written on the screen;

His words, Not mine.

Words written in
the book of Isaiah
chapter forty three
verse two.

And just then,

I realised
I was not alone
that someone
had been there
with me all along.

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.”  - Isaiah 43:2 NKJV
