In Darkness I Stand... Comments

the grace of God mercy's hand I shall again see the light Though in darkness i stand.. crow as a symbol.. guilt. desire for atonement. presence of God, just a fine a poem. thank you dear poet for you sublime thoughts. pl. e spread such ideas more and more through your poems.. thank you. dev

Thank you...it's a metaphor for the guilt of a hurtful sin, whether to God or a loved one, etc; the crow is a symbol of the enslavement that both sin and guilt keep over us. It's haste represents the opportunity sin/guilt suddenly finds from someone who has always been good until now. Like a bird of prey, sin will FINALLY get to feast on you, something it never thought could happen. Think along the lines of how the devil would have enjoyed seeing David sin with Bathsheba...

Very deep, its draws you right in as you read along, at first i was thinking vampires very nice twist in the end... Annette

oh my god we have the same last name! thats so weird! that aside this is a great poem! it has so much meaning.

wow excellent poem! I vote 10 :) I love how it all just flows together. hmm... you mention the 'grace of God', and 'My sins set free'. Are you saved by the blood of Jesus? Send me a message. -Cheng Zheng
