Poetry: I trust by Tara Romero

[tara]

Earlier, I was sharing some Sarah Groves lyrics and a poem came to me. Here it is:

I Trust by Tara Romero

Excited, but so scared,
You didn’t like what you saw there.
I was a vessel on a shelf,
And you molded me yourself.

But I trust,

In your hands, I feel you there,
Breaking down the form I bear.
I like that you are close,
But my past I miss the most,

But I trust,

What was that you saw?
Broken, my soul was raw.
It’s time for something new,
To create a form that’s true.

And I trust,

It hurts deep when you push on me
I have no choice but, let it be,
My insides aren’t the same,
But I am called by the same name.

And I trust,

Do I yearn to be back up there,
Where you see me and only stare?
But then I’d be alone,
Don’t let me be alone.

I trust.

Tara, that brought tears to my eyes. That is really beautiful. I can really hear your faith in the Lord coming out in that poem. Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt poem with us.

Thanks for sharing this. The imagery is very visceral, having done a bit o' pottery in college. This is a very "felt" poem.
