While not as prolific as in high school, I wrote poetry in college as well. In a way, this was my first foray into a more mature stage of writing.

“Cut Off from the Touch of God”
Oh, how great is my misery, trying to scratch
A living out of the cursed sod,
When before I was living in the fulfilling,
Loving presence of the Almighty God.
With Him, I had complete fellowship-
We were together in all things.
But I chose to walk away and follow my own way-
And I found out what suffering it brings.
The worst of it was that I was cut off from God,
And so were all my children.
Even though God made a way for them to come back to Him,
Today, they still choose to follow the ways of men.
Because of my choice-and theirs-whole nations today
Are filled with people cut off from their Heavenly Father
Who longs to be with them wherever they go,
Because He loves them like no other.
But He will not force them to come-
He wants them to be with Him because they wish to be.
So many today need the Lord in their lives,
But they are blind to this, because they don’t take Him seriously.
So listen to His voice, children of God,
And follow every one of His commands.
Love Him and others more than yourself,
And make disciples of God in all lands.
