Do It Now
The night I sat at the bedside of a dear friend's dying sister,
A poem was conceived in my heart and mind, unlike anything
that I had ever experienced. Words of inspiration were being
formed inside of me in the form of words coming from the heart
and lips of a dying one. Becoming one of my first poems, it was
expressly written in the 'first person' of my friend's sister as if
she was speaking, putting the words within me.
Secondly, the day I realized I would be sending 'writings' to my
pastor, I knew that it was an assignment from God and informed
him accordingly. This was another 'God Moment', a divine encounter
triggered and activated more than 15 years ago. Since initiating the
writings sent to him, I have posted on a poetry website nearly 2000
pieces of work.
Although prior to those two divine encounters, I had desired to write,
never had I been so compelled and pushed to act upon what I had
dreamed of doing for years. There was an urgency like none I had prior,
and it was as if 'I had to begin' and begin 'NOW!'.
