Answered Prayers

ANSWERED PRAYERS Crisp cutting edges are river aging... Dusts, gossamer embracing carves and mounds. All around unchanged. Solely, the wind curtains flow. Seems, they are the only one engaging. Have I step to an antique ground? Waiting... waiting... waiting and wailing .... When... Somebody, please tell me when? I am begging .... will someone show me when... There are no signs, neither gleaming-clues Hence, I am left in bloom buzzing blues I look to reach stars spraying a lace of shine. Lo! The moon moaning a veil of mystique fine. Evenings are waterfall silently playing lyre. Arousing my soul's delight to set afire A singer or poetess booze longing to inspire The stillness bares inner recesses well where spirits ready to compel and swell. There's no one else: Just you and me: my God. On bended knees, naked from any trace of pretense Humbly, I am opening my life to Your Holy presence. Sweet, Oh so sweet, You extend Your loving hand. No second thoughts, no hesitations. Willingly, You extend to tenderly understand. Snares and torn slowly, Oh so slowly you prune, lightening every weighing doubts and fears. Long forgotten prayers are answered, timely hatched from insanity shell.. Golden ripe for prosperous harvest. Yielding much beyond the mind calculation. Evermore daring and bold in exhortation. Sweet, oh so sweet, my Lord and my King. It's worth to faithfully wait for Your perfect timing. Now, Your promises have been falling to right places. Kneeling down today and tomorrow thanking You... I keep my trust wholly in the power of Your Hands... __________________________________________ (c) 2:27am August 03, 2014 inspired by the verse: Matthew 6:33

well, it's very rare that I place a religious-themed poem; it's even rarer that I place a poem containing an archaism like 'lo', but, honestly, this poem would turn even an atheist religious! some wonderful lines - "crisp cutting edges are river ageing", "...stars spraying a lace of shine", "...bloom buzzing blues" (ah the alliteration!) spirituality beautifully expressed - congrats on your win in my contest! :)

Hi Olive_eloi! I have never known you to lose hope or give up on your dreams. Your faith keeps you on course, even if at times things are far from bright. So glad to see that lately your patience has been rewarded. God bless. // paul

Hahaha I'm actually challenged by Charlotte's contest theme of Vibrant Verse... I can't think of anything vibrant more than the experience of having my prayers being answered... Hence, I have shared this through this poem how it is then..:) I'm not expecting of winning just I want to share the experience..:)

This is a great poem. God does answer our prayers in his own time and if he don't it's because it was not good for us... Lucilla
