Phoenix Rise

The love within me was low and I was afraid it had died, It did, only to rise like the Phoenix, to live again. Taking a musical and video journey into the past I was re-acquainted with The Most High, so that I had to Sanctify myself again. Then in the video half of my journey I watched as infinite universes were just beginning to unfold, their splendor, colors too beautiful, they blew my mind. I'm going through this journey because I know it is to prepare me for the future. New hope, new focus, new expectation and my heart is slowly rising, newly washed, out of the ashes it is stronger, wiser than before; less harmful to myself or others. Nothing which God claims as His own ever dies because we are His beloved; continually remolded, transformed into the likeness of Jesus. Famous band I must quote, "You can never win or lose if you don't run the race." Losing in this life can often be the battle that is won. Achilles' felled by an arrow that lodged in his heel but he is still a legend. Like Jesus who gave up His life for all of us, rose again. His immense love for us is a circular spin, a magnetic pull beyond strong, which will most assuredly pull us deeper into Him - we who are His beloved. S.E. Clark copyright 2015

Susan, your faith shines bright in this beautifully penned write, a lovely 7 and thanks for visiting my poem, God's Love For a Little Girl, sadly that poem did not place in the contest it was written for, hard to believe isn't it, but no matter it is very meaningful to me and of course I love the name Susan, an uncle I have who has Alzheimers keeps calling me Susan, no point correcting him, 2 seconds later I am Susan again . . .
