Richard Lamoureux Poet Free verse

God's Kind of Poetry

I formed the poet to be my clay pen
To dance on the pin tip of my understanding
I delight in words
All things came into existance through my words
The planets
The stars
The moon
The sun
The universes beyond what you can see
They are tethered by my imagination
I am a God of order
I delight in repetition
My ways are perfect
What you see a chaos, fits perfectly into my plans
I occupy all the spaces
I exist within each breath
My energy flows from beginning to end and back again
I allow you to glimpse my shadow 
For my full Glory would consume your human form
I am beyond your comprehension
Yet I wish you to know me
Ponder me
Come into my loving arms
My words are written on ancient scrolls
Each verse contains my essence
My invitation to a wondorous feast
Taste the succulence of my bounty
The flavours my affection
My consummate Love
Do not be concerned with the temporary
Trust in my grace
For I know all your needs
This world will one day disappear 
Paradise will reside under your feet
I will be your completion 
Dancing will have new meaning
Rivers will sparkle like diamonds
The skies will no longer need the sun
For I will be your light
We will walk through a new Jerusalem
Streets of gold
Buildings encrusted in precious gems
Trees will be laden with fruit
No hunger
No tears
My children will know freedom
Strength will course through veins
Angels will walk in their midsts
Age will no longer be their enemy
Death will be a forgotten memory
For I am God
My words
My poetry
They can be your reality
Make use of your free will
I am bound by my own promises
You must choose my path
Be a vessel of my Love
You my clay pen
Can flow
With golden ink



For this contest I am asked to write from the perspective of God.
It is an insurmountable task for one as limited as myself. I humbly
submit this attempt and pray that it honors my heavenly Father.

Suzanne Delaney October 17, 2014 at 11:50 AM Congratulations Richard Full of promise and beauty.

Timothy Hicks October 17, 2014 at 12:39 AM This is fantastic, Rick!! So many thoughts to ponder... "I allow you to glimpse my shadow"... I can't help but think of that section in the Bible where it talks about Moses seeing "the back parts of the Lord"... I've always wondered what in the world that must have looked like. I also LOVE the last three lines of this poem. It puts the thought into my head that WE ourselves are really not that impressive... just dirt. But with God our actions can bring forth great thinks... aka golden ink. Fave! Richard Lamoureux October 17, 2014 at 8:33 AM In writing this I tried to glean as much as I could from my knowledge of scripture. I appreciate your response Timothy.

Brian Johnston October 17, 2014 at 12:15 AM Part 1: Oh Richard, your pen flows with golden ink already! And your poem somehow even divines the title for my next Poetry contest on both PoemHunter and Poetry soup which I announce here in tribute to your excellent poem. The title of the new Challenge Title (for those of you who wish to get a head start on your competition is 'Words - The Heart of Immagination? ' Isn't it amazing how this new title fits in with your poem's theological foundation? Richard Lamoureux October 17, 2014 at 8:34 AM Wow, what a great way to start my day. Thanks for your affirming comments. Brian Johnston October 17, 2014 at 12:16 AM Or is this not mere coincidence but somehow point to the fact that all True Poetry is in fact 'God's Kind of Poetry? ' In your poem God's Grace truly becomes palpable, the scent that crowns all scents, the drink that ends all thirst! God and I are tight and I can assure you that this poem has honored God and honors God again every time it is read by mortal man!

Carolyn Devonshire October 16, 2014 at 11:01 PM Dear Richard, I admire your faith as well as this beautiful poem. You have a great deal of spiritual insight woven into your words. I especially enjoyed the line "What you see a chaos, fits perfectly into my plans." Indeed, I believe He has a plan even though we sometimes don't understand it. My prayers ask Him for guidance. Congratulations on your first place win! Love, Carolyn Richard Lamoureux October 17, 2014 at 8:36 AM Thanks Carolyn, I hope you feel better soon. Carolyn Devonshire October 16, 2014 at 11:02 PM PS - I've been dealing with a cold/flu and hope to be more active on the site when I feel better. Hard to think with a headache and fever. Keep sharing, Richard!

Paul Callus September 25, 2014 at 1:19 PM This is a delight to read Richard. As humans we can never do Him full justice, but you have gone a long way to do so.
