Debra Squyres Poet Free verse

Catalyst

Allow me, this day, 
to become the catalyst 
of my own awakenings…
For I hold within myself
the light of dawns reckonings

Bare floor’s creaking
with the splinters of the past
Some things never change
Some things never last

Allow me, this day,
to find enlightenment 
within worded phrase…
For I hold within myself
knowledge in living sage

Bare floor stripping
layers of varnished truth
Refinishing with prayer
His Mercies are acute 

Allow me, this day,
to become the catalyst
of rejoicing praise…
For His Words, hid not,
are my renewing gage

Debra Squyres January 6, 2015 at 3:20 PM Oh dear... have I unknowingly captured someone else's written words/lyrics?? I've done a search and can't find anything with the same wording. Please let me know so I can remove at once if I have. Thank you !!
