Poem
Here am I enthralled by sunset delight while beholding celestial beauty blend with horizon's majestic sight in letting go of this day's triumph as well as challenges' blight to welcome tomorrow, filled with hopefulness' might. Sunset colors cheer me when rattled with successive rush-hour dues Presenting choices of varied priorities’ hues… I praise the Lord for His interfering beauty-clues For me to "let go" in vanquishing failure-frustration blues. Sunset reality witnesses times that I grumble, murmur, complain... Yearning to yell, "I wish I had the balls midst this strain "To tell them how I really felt with stressed heart and vexed brain..." How fortunate I am for the Prince of peace soothes my pain. Oh, sunset sensation helps me in such condescending, yet humbling moment As it grips my soul toward radiant fellowship-engagement... With prayer’s marvels along communion-wonderment "Letting God" willingly brings joyous amazement! Through sunset rays of bright heavenly perspective I’m prodded to be sincerely attentive So as not to miss my Master’s vital directive Midst efforts as His steward, to stay active. So then with sunset glow, I welcome any intervening incident To teach me to become more prudent Knowing that those I hold tight with grip so ardent May break me, leaving a deep hurt-dent. Basking in sunset iridescence, I thank God, nothing slips from His hand And He never needs a magic wand He holds me within His love so grand He protects my hair’s slightest strand. Inspired by sunset revelations, I succumb to spiritual bouncing Learning that I must soar for divine pressing; Thus, there will never be any loss in letting go, but a blessing Since I can learn great lessons toward faith*-bracing! *Galatians 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. August 1, 2018 Edited on September 13, 2023 2nd place, "Sunsets" Poetry Writing Contest Sponsored by Natasha L Scragg; judged on 9/25/2023
