Gentling hues bless my hungry soul Dazzling sensations who make me whole Fragments of joy, shards of my muse Bless my hungry soul, gentling hues Darkness falls down, like autumn leaves Bestowing compassion for one who believes His light is alive in stars, the night’s crown Like autumn leaves, darkness falls down Shadows flowing, reflecting all my dreams Liquid oasis, secrets in beautiful themes Wonders alive as my love keeps growing Reflecting all my dreams, shadows flowing Like the breathless wind, nuzzling my cheek Joy in shades of grace silence every critique Mystery and hope mixed together, combined Nuzzling my cheek, like the breathless wind Without the Lord above, I’d be lost in dread It was for my redemption that He came and bled His grace brought me peace and abiding love I’d be lost in dread without the Lord above 2022 Poetry Marathon Mile 15 Mark Toney October 2, 2022

A very inspiring poem of thanksgiving, Gina. Reversing the first and fourth lines of each stanza adds to the prayerful aspect. Congratulations on your win on Mile 15 of my 2022 Poetry Marathon Contest. Keep your running shoes on, because Mile 16 has already started.
