The Flight of the Prisoners (1896) by James Tissot I will bring you back. Words I hear in the night, when darkness is all I have, when I have closed my heart in defeat and wish for a better day. I will bring you back. I have not been torn from my home, as those who heard those words for the first time. It is not flesh, but the soul that longs. I will bring you back. A prophet who promises renewal to a world stained by hate. A speaker who knows of armies that plunder and destroy, pillage and rape, he speaks from his age to ours. I will bring you back. Words that overlay our sonnets. Words that say, I love you more than you can know. Words that shine a glimmer of light where for now, there is only darkness. copyright 2023 - Donald P James Jr https://www.amazon.com/stores/Donald-P.-James-Jr./author

You are faithful, despite my doubt. I question and make promises, covenants, with You, I am too sinful to maintain. And yet, You are faithful. You soothe me when I am anxious and remind me that your covenants have always been kept. You embrace me when I am defeated. Pick me up when I have been brought low. You light the darkness around me and beckon me to follow Your ways. You are faithful despite my denials. I cling to my notions as if they are Your will, wandering as a lost sheep. And yet You, O Lord, are faithful. copyright 2018 - Donald P James Jr https://www.amazon.com/stores/Donald-P.-James-Jr./author
