Poem Title:
Poem
Claiming Almighty’s favor and His grace My heart does abide in God’s special place Where wondrous divine quietude prevails As faith beholds what miracle entails. Planned events, though scheduled responsibly Sometimes are altered very suddenly Causing despair-angst, confronting my role Yet tranquil nook welcomes and comforts soul. When preparation glitches create frown Bringing distress from the toes toward crown My frustration pain pressures escalate Propelling me for prayer altar date. Super health conscious --- that’s me, I confess Treating self-welfare with gentle duress Thus, in getting sick, my body seeks rest For solitude, replenishing work’s zest. In being busy midst tasks to fulfill Adrenalin keeps ascending uphill I safely hide in fortress that’s peaceful Secured by the great Lord Who is faithful. Gripped with warm presence of Christ’s radiance And the Holy Ghost’s sweet caring guidance I’m preserved, upheld --- indeed, protected Joyous, thankful --- sublimely elated. Reading while meditating the Scriptures Midst tranquil haven for trust-adventures I’m taught by the Lord as His studious child Learning with guided steps, prudently styled. In my prayer closet, indeed serene My Saviour meets me, showing glorious scene Marked by hope, mercy, forgiveness’ bounty There I bask upon blest truth’s certainty. * Matthew 6:6 - But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. Dramatic Monologue in Quatrain July 20, 2022 Honorable Mention, "YOU CHOOSE" Poetry Writing Contest Sponsored by Brian Strand; judged on 1/14/2023
