A Misty Veil

Written By Bill Stark

You may have had times in your life where things seem dull, lifeless, and gray. Perhaps you’ve not tried to connect with God and you feel isolated and sullen. Then, we try logic and willpower to make a go of our day, yet we still feel out of sync, restless and empty.

God wants more for us than that kind of life. I pray this poem can relates to you in some way and that is might offer the hope of a new touch from God.

A MISTY VEIL

A misty veil hung over me

My shrouded soul, now less I see

And hence my world is cloudy too

All its colors lost their hue

~

A loss of grace, my heart now frowns

No wonder why my soul was down

Life was empty, wanting more

Could God be real, or is it lore?

~

Then from God I realized

Now it was my time to rise

To turn to Him and seek His hand

To wander from my no man's land

~

Confessing of my need for Him

I prayed for real, not on a whim

A loving gaze poured out of Him

My heart now full above the brim!

~

This logic I've depended on

Left me weary—hope withdrawn

I see a truer side of life

Like the love of man and wife

Where kinship, grace, and peace surround

And there my sanity is found
