Searching For Sanctuary

Between the hidden and the knowing dost not the heart lead upon heights of silent stowing to once again reveal his creed As streaming clouds run westward and fain, I bequest of solemn glory why must sin lay incurred for truth be my story If only to find our Sovereign Lord calling out amid my guilt then surely love shall be adorned woven placidly in heavens quilt In hymns and color I shout to thee that wounded eyes might come to see _______________________________________

Hello Rick, this was such a hard contest to judge with so many gems to try to place. We both enjoyed your lush use of imagery, phrases such as silent stowing, woven placidly. The enjambment is also well done, smooth as butter. This poem spoke to me on a personal level, such a profound faith write. Reminded me of Donne. Are you familiar with his sonnets? If not give them a peek. I think you may enjoy his poetry. Congrats on the win. I hope it garnishes the attention it deserves! Smiles from Cyndi
