Sam Kauffman Poet Alliteration

Eternal Best Friend Forever

Eternal Best Friend Forever

Eternal, everlasting, enduring one God without end
Joins me in jubilant jumping up worship jubilee
Spirit sends a scented sunrise of newborn surprises in songs
Miracles made manifest in majestic melodies
Healer when regret harnesses my hobbled heart,
When I lose luminosity in lightless valleys of shame,
Arms opened wide to the abiding, the ageless anthem;
Best friend forever – I feast on flowing fountains of forgiveness
Gracious gift of grace granted to gyrating inspiration
Sweet sanctuary of sleepy serenades ‘neath slumberless stars
Pictures of hearts pirouette in my praise - parading through my pen;
My constant companion, creator, close colleague of comfort
Pensive I ponder your playfulness – knowing my pleas pledge a peace poem;
Savior of my soiled spirit, of sinners and saints – lover of my soul
My thankfulness throbs – tingling thrill - twirling into my thanksgiving

John Watt September 29, 2020 at 12:34 PM "Miracles made manifest in majestic melodies", the "ageless anthem" brings me such joy. Your witness to God's goodness indeed "parades through your pen", and brings light and inspiration and joy to this reader. Though saints have been writing praised to the Lord for ages, your words are never stale or cliche. God is good. Congrats for your lovely win with your alliterative alleluias, Sam. Grace and peace ~ John Sam Kauffman October 5, 2020 at 12:32 PM Agreed, John - all the time God is good! In writing this I felt like the Holy Spirit, with all of the Spirit's creativity, snuggled up and abided. Thank you for your uplifting words and congratulations. Appreciated more than you know! We are truly blessed to have God as our BFF and to explore that relationship in rhythm and rhyme. October blessings dear friend.
