~ Poem the 1st Chap. Inspired Bye ~ Part #9
~ and so now At last! ~
~ At last! ~
~As a sweet rejoinder to Him my soul cries
out aloud, at last, as I marvel in the benignity of my Lord. ~
~ For imparting to me,
the liberal blessing of my life ...
and for giving me His eternal assurances.
For delivering me ...
returning me to a veracious, and overt;
amenable position-of-hope-and faith in Him. ~
~Yes-for-purging-and lifting;
empowering and molding ... maturing me,
indemnifying me in His certitude,
and enduring graciously, the-horrid-penalty;
of my willful prides contumacy. ~
~ For ne’er to trammel the ambling
of my committed volition. ~
~ In the greater wisdom and grace
of their instruction I willingly did revolt
in sheer defiance before His tender eyes of mercy. ~
~ (Amid the futile campaign, (of my own bitterness.)) ~
~ Distinguishing only those weary days apart
from the welcome and gentle fervor, of His embrace;
and so, through this detachment,
and His patient hands my heart’s longing
was brought to know compassion
and to be absolvitory. ~
~ As able today and thankful to Him to see. ~
~ Of the many roads I have peregrinated down. ~
~ Illuminated upon this narrow path,
of God’s all-inclusive way. ~
~ It is all I have come to truly discern, of an aeolian peace ... ~
