A Rich Man's Solitude - Jacob Lindell
Jacob Lindell: 'A Rich Man's Solitude'
Hello, my name is Jacob Lindell, I am an aspiring writer with a passion for creativity and art. But that's enough about me, please enjoy my poetry, and thank you for the opportunity to submit my work.
God’s hand had declared a war,
upon all of the broken hearted;
for the fall of the ungracious sinners,
and the rise of those who’ve departed.
So he wished upon me a river,
and out it came - from the palm of his hand;
sailing away, I’d follow the upstream,
drawing me back to where we began.
Unannounced - I had shown to your doorstep,
you took me in for the very last time;
heaving silver at all of my sorrys,
I had confessed to you all of my crimes.
And in the end - come to my surprise,
it is now you that is letting me go;
the pain had riveted throughout my body,
I tried my hardest not to let it show.
I wish to attest to you all of my failures,
in hopes I can somehow press rewind;
“God, please can you make this better!
I can't imagine her not being mine!”
And he swooped down from the heavens,
in time to witness what I had done;
and all it took was the pull of a trigger,
and the violent discharge of a gun.
I couldn't bare to withstand the heartache,
without her -I'd rather be dead;
so to silence the pain of this hole in my heart,
I blew a second hole into my head.
And when the trumpets had welcomed my arrival,
I angrily approached Heaven’s door;
God said, “Son, why so unappreciative?
I couldn't have possibly given you more.”
“You're a rich man on the outside,
but on the inside your soul is adjourned;
snatching the hearts of all these young women,
and giving nothing to them in return.”
“But Father, what's to stop me from crying?”
he said, “Surely there's life after death;
and my Heaven is now your sanctuary,
don't you know, all along you've been blessed!”
I've always been too blind to see it,
but I had the most precious of finds;
and he was always there watching over me,
just walking two steps behind.
I was a rich man on the outside,
but I harbored a fool’s heart;
totally blind to all of the good things,
and blessings I had from the start.
