----- When It Finally Hit ----- By Cody Morriss

This is a poem that my friend sent to me and I must admit it is one of the best piece I have read recently. It expresses in words, about how we need God so much and how life without him can be full of turmoil. This poem inspires me and it's stunning in the way its power accumulates, stanza by stanza. I can't think of another poem that so beautifully captures how life without God is. The clarity and force of the poem overwhelms me whenever I re-read it, which I have done quite often in the past minutes.

I hope this poem inspires as many that reads it.

----- When It Finally Hit ----

We are growing ever inflamed

amongst the withering roots

building chaos that distorts

values and beliefs we lose

No one waits for harbingers

to warn us of danger

we turn our heads away

twisting into something stranger

Swiftly our lives freckle

aging without wisdom

growing old without growing up

not controlling ourselves

We seek shelter short term

soon it will break apart

that stinging feeling blossoms

pulling at the heart

No matter what you do

an empty void always appears

every substitute fails

those months change to years

Help, one day crying aloud

something bigger than what you see

trust in a cross

a figure died to make us believe

No matter the burden

the stains on your heart

surrender and rest

now we can start
