From darkness to true love's light

She dreamt a dream of a perfect love with a man,
Her dream became real as real as ever can,
A sweet friendship blossomed to stand the test,
Seemed so real, Ecstasy, she ignored all the rest.
But she didn't see the grey in the violet sky,
The colours of love for him left her to cry.
Red for the violence, blue for the lust,
She was wrong to think in man to trust.
For the first time she gave it all,
Only to be beat up and take the fall.
Black for the darkness that tried to eat her,
White for the sweet nothings that beat her,
Brown for the mud on which she lay facewards,
Transparent the tears for a love that went waywards.
Looking at a knife to release her from this life.
Her corpse beckoned to a vast sea by her strife.

Then suddenly like a sunray of hope,
When her life lost all its scope,
Jesus spoke in a voice so clear,
It calmed down all  pain and fear,
You give up your life in haste,
Without thinking what you would waste,
I gave up my life for you to have life,
I bore the pain to give you strength in strife,
You know my promises yet you chose the world,
No human is perfect and Holy as I am Holy,
Only through me can you overcome the worldly.
She threw the knife lifted from drunken to sober,
Dead to her old self, renewed for His glory to conquer,
A new creation, she lived for Jesus completely,
He taught her His ways and she did greatly.

As per God's will she found the one meant to be,
He said your the bone of my bones, can you see,
They prayed, they fasted and sought Gods advice,
To start together the work of ministry, and rise,
Together in love they laboured being perfected each day,
Both realised they wouldn't want life any other way.
