Haiku Experiment

I was trying to write but it's late and I am tired. So I decided to play with haikus. I've never done much with this style of poetry but it was kind of fun to work with syllables instead of rhyme. They are a bit scattered but like I said I'm a bit scattered myself. Here are my sleep ones:

My brain won’t focus

Life’s been hard the last few days

All I want is sleep

Sleep beckons to me

A warm call, a gentle touch

I am deeply lost

I was reading in 1 Samuel today and I read the story of Hannah giving Samuel to the lord. I know all sacrifices you give to the lord serve a purpose but to give up the son you had waiting and longed for seems incredibly difficult. 

Hannah how did you

Give your child to god forever

Didn’t you love him

Yes I did love him

But I love God even more

And I promised

And finally I wrote one about God and what he does for me. I really feel like his arms are around me in a gentle embrace. It's a feeling unlike any other. 

God is my father

His love is a warm embrace

It blocks the darkness
