God's Kind of Poetry

I formed the poet to be my clay pen To dance on the pin tip of my understanding I delight in words All things came into existance through my words The planets The stars The moon The sun The universes beyond what you can see They are tethered by my imagination I am a God of order I delight in repetition My ways are perfect What you see a chaos, fits perfectly into my plans I occupy all the spaces I exist within each breath My energy flows from beginning to end and back again I allow you to glimpse my shadow For my full Glory would consume your human form I am beyond your comprehension Yet I wish you to know me Ponder me Come into my loving arms My words are written on ancient scrolls Each verse contains my essence My invitation to a wondorous feast Taste the succulence of my bounty The flavours my affection My consummate Love Do not be concerned with the temporary Trust in my grace For I know all your needs This world will one day disappear Paradise will reside under your feet I will be your completion Dancing will have new meaning Rivers will sparkle like diamonds The skies will no longer need the sun For I will be your light We will walk through a new Jerusalem Streets of gold Buildings encrusted in precious gems Trees will be laden with fruit No hunger No tears My children will know freedom Strength will course through veins Angels will walk in their midsts Age will no longer be their enemy Death will be a forgotten memory For I am God My words My poetry They can be your reality Make use of your free will I am bound by my own promises You must choose my path Be a vessel of my Love You my clay pen Can flow With golden ink For this contest I am asked to write from the perspective of God. It is an insurmountable task for one as limited as myself. I humbly submit this attempt and pray that it honors my heavenly Father.

This is fantastic, Rick!! So many thoughts to ponder... "I allow you to glimpse my shadow"... I can't help but think of that section in the Bible where it talks about Moses seeing "the back parts of the Lord"... I've always wondered what in the world that must have looked like. I also LOVE the last three lines of this poem. It puts the thought into my head that WE ourselves are really not that impressive... just dirt. But with God our actions can bring forth great thinks... aka golden ink. Fave!

In writing this I tried to glean as much as I could from my knowledge of scripture. I appreciate your response Timothy.

Part 1: Oh Richard, your pen flows with golden ink already! And your poem somehow even divines the title for my next Poetry contest on both PoemHunter and Poetry soup which I announce here in tribute to your excellent poem. The title of the new Challenge Title (for those of you who wish to get a head start on your competition is 'Words - The Heart of Immagination? ' Isn't it amazing how this new title fits in with your poem's theological foundation?

Or is this not mere coincidence but somehow point to the fact that all True Poetry is in fact 'God's Kind of Poetry? ' In your poem God's Grace truly becomes palpable, the scent that crowns all scents, the drink that ends all thirst! God and I are tight and I can assure you that this poem has honored God and honors God again every time it is read by mortal man!

Dear Richard, I admire your faith as well as this beautiful poem. You have a great deal of spiritual insight woven into your words. I especially enjoyed the line "What you see a chaos, fits perfectly into my plans." Indeed, I believe He has a plan even though we sometimes don't understand it. My prayers ask Him for guidance. Congratulations on your first place win! Love, Carolyn

This is a delight to read Richard. As humans we can never do Him full justice, but you have gone a long way to do so. There are moments in this write that remind me of David and his psalms. gl in the contest. (a 7 rating...) // paul
