Dayspring

A friend of mine suggested that I post some of my poetry on here. I wrote this one fairly recently, and it's taken from some of the names of Jesus found in Isaiah and Luke.

DAYSPRING

Dayspring-
I need you at the dawn
When all my thoughts in shambles lie
And I cannot face the day

Councilor- 
I need you when I'm overwhelmed with words 
and want a greater Word to still my aching head
Bringing wisdom out of madness

Everlasting Father- 
I need you when all ways seem shorn of hope
and my pathway tangled lies,
Guide me through this life

Prince of Peace- 
I want you with an aching heart and weary mind
I want you when I cannot know the want itself,
But grope blindly through the darkness
Light of God, bring peace!
