“Lost at Sea” is a powerful and personal reflection on the journey of faith and redemption. Through vivid imagery and raw emotion, the poet explores the depths of despair and the ultimate triumph of divine grace.
LOST AT SEA
Unaware of the doom from choices I made,
I turned from God and no longer prayed.
I became lost and desperate, in a stormy sea,
an act from God, who allowed it to be.In my haste to sail, far from His throne,
I didn’t realize I’d soon be alone.
I tried to hide, from black clouds of guilt,
ashamed of the life that sin had built.When waves of despair came crashing down,
if not for my God, I would have drowned.
I cried out for His mercy, grace, and love,
He reached out his hand to grab ahold of.He pulled me to shore, with all of His might,
out of the darkness and into His light.
And I’m forever grateful that He rescued me,
from a hopeless life that was lost at sea.David Ritter 12/18/20

BOTTLED MEMORIES
These stand-alone poems were written over many years. While individually they describe the conflicts associated with alcoholism, when read together they reveal a more complete picture of the destruction, depression, and chaos of addiction, as well as the peace, hope, and joy of recovery. Although most of these poems pertain to my life, it is my hope that other people will relate to them also. It’s not only my story but the story of so many others.
Another fine rhyming poem, David, speaking honestly of your faith in your saviour, God.
Thank you!
