From Paper to Heaven- A Young Poetess

The Unforeseen Path 

(Inspired by Psalm 23) 

by Erin O.

As I walk through a long

Winding road, darkness

Overtakes it.

I shudder as fear overwhelms

Every inch in my being. 

Suddenly, I am touched by an

All surpassing warmth. 

A light touches the place 

Where my feet meet the earth. 

Though I fear nothing. 

The light takes hold of me 

And gently carries me to 

A placid stream.

I drink and my soul is 

Restored. 

I find myself at a breathtakingly 

Exquisite banquet, prepared 

For me, I am later informed.

I sit and mine enemies

Look upon me with 

Scornful eyes.

However I fear nothing,

Because the light is 

By my side.

Erin is a junior in high school.
 She enjoys writing in her free time.

 Music brings her joy 
(because it helps her to really relax). 

 At the moment her life feels 
a bit like a whirlwind of chaos,

 but the Holy Spirit is working in her
 to bring peace in her writing. 

 Erin will be a contributing writer 
for Journeys of Faith

 as a young author-
posting From Paper to Heaven.
