Modeled after Tennyson

In my Brit Lit class we are studying Tennyson and his poem "In Memoriam" and we had to write 4 stanzas that were similar in feeling and rhyme scheme to his. I wrote about when I was younger and the feelings I had after we moved. It was indeed a dark period in my life and when I would get upset I would go outside during the night and pray and cry and write poetry. It was during these times that I actually came to rely on my Savior and felt His love for me. No amout of words can convey the deepness of my sorrow, but this is a little piece of it.

Stars above twinkle in ubelief
Grass below whispers of new frost
The wind tears away what's already lost
And the soul tries to forget its grief

A place so foreign, so odd, so new
A place that drains emotions from
The hope that someone will finally come
To wipe away tears as thick as dew

"Someone, please someone," the heart cries out
And outstreched is held a hopeful hand
For anyone who might understand
The hand's filled with hope, but the mind with doubt

The cold and dark are slowly torn
And eyes search to see who will heal
The eyes can't see, but the heart can feel
The Savior on who all cares are born
