Poem Title:
Poem
My convictions refuse to give any of my poetry’s limelight to horoscopes or the like because these go against my belief in the Son of God, the Word of God and the grace of God. Because I don’t believe in horoscopes, and actually am against them as they are sinful and against God’s instructions, I won’t be using the title chosen by the contest sponsor. I do love Silent One though and will offer my poem as a reflection of that love, even if it is omitted from the contest because of the title. God bless you all. “We are all petals of imperfection sharing the same sun” - Silent One Tears fall quietly, Remembering the heart’s seasons, Glistening through the skies, Like the richest purity, Twilight bleeding into songs, Meant to bless, the heal, to say… Heaven is but moments away, So we wait, on bended knee, For the joy that we’ll soon see, Joy beyond what we might dream, Joy alive, like the sun’s glow, Like the moon’s slow climb, Like the moment He was mine…. Tears kiss my cheek, Dewlike and refreshing, aching, Expressions of faith, hope, love, The silence of a clear, cool night, Abiding in the soul who knows, His love just grows – it grows and grows, Serene and satisfying, spiritual sanctions, Erasing the fears, the tears, the years… Before I was sure that what I am feeling, When He is with me, when He reveals Himself, Through the bird’s morning songs, Through the firefly’s dance in the dark, Through the effortless music that invites… Hearts to hear the trees as they talk, Souls to feel the grace who speaks soft, Spirits to taste the love that stirs hope… Tears glisten on my heart, flowing, As the winds pick up speed, rushing, Toward the moment when I first believed, He is the One who made light so I see… He is the reason for my heart’s peace, He is the reason for my soul’s devotion, He is the reason for my spirit’s praise. Tears never let go of the way they can say… Though so imperfect, my love – I will pray… Beyond my flaws and failures, Beyond my many imperfections, There is a story of God’s Son creating a hope, Beyond what I might have expected, A faith far greater than I’d ever predicted, A love that is alive like the fire living inside… Because He created my best life… Because He became the sacrifice, Because He surely is the bread of life!
