Description
Shine on meOh please somebody set me free,
for the waters are rising over me.
I didnβt see the water come at all,
Now theyβre pushing, trying to make me fall.
In this misery I lift my eyes and look up high,
hoping for salvation from beyond the sky.
All I ask You is: help me flee my misery,
so please shine Your healing light on me.

...wonderful and very emotional poem
The photograph is beautiful ,and resuming perfectly the essence of the poem...a very "blue and sad atmosphere" and at the same time the soft and almost weak sparkles of the sun ray trying to bring some hope, some shy "enlightening"... Β

Great photo that fits your poem perfectly.Β I really appreciate the poem as it echos some of my own feelings the past month and a half.Β David, the ancient poet king, had something very similar to say in Psalm 121 "I lift up my eyes to the hills.Β From where does my help come?Β My help comes from the Lord..."

Unto the hills around, I lift my longing eyes
Oh where, Oh where for me will my salvation come?
My help shall come, from God the Lord
From God the Lord, who heaven and earth hath made!
When I wrote the poem, I wanted it to be like a psalm
