Pining for the Light: A Collection of Poems

By Jennifer Kristie Cox

Pining for the Light is a collection of poems written from a Biblical worldview concerning a variety of topics, such as: faithgriefhopelonelinesslovecompassionjoy in the little thingsThe prevailing theme of this body of work is that there is an ongoing battle in a human life between light and darkness. It is not necessary to shy away from acknowledging the depths of sorrow and pain that the human spirit can reach in the lows of life, but neither is it necessary to dwell in despair, taking up residence and planting roots in its valleys. These poems explore the complicated emotions of the human experience, the pining for the light, always with the ultimate faith that it can, in fact, be found.

"I shape words with my spirit
As my only recourse
Seeds and whispers
Songs and laments"

"I'm longing for the dawn
In this long lingering night
Singing anew one chorus
Pining for the light"
