Dan Cwiak Poet Quatrain

His Epic Power

You can see the little corner of light,
back behind the shadowing cloud.
  If man were not so self-centered,
  we would recognize that which is so proud.

  When I see the epic sky above
  the land so stark and alone.
I see the hand of the Lord
Overshadowing all that has been done.

The strength of His hand is there to see
if you will look with both heart and eyes.
  His fingers cover the entire sky
  as we await the rains of His surprise.

  His hand out stretched to cover all the earth
  from horizon to horizon above.
Guarding the world He has made
in His abundant love.

When I see the power of His greatness
in this epic show of His hand.
  I think of the wonders that await
  for us, how they must be so grand.

  I feel sorry for those who do not believe  
  in Him or His Son.
But where would power so great be
had He not said, "Let it be done"!

For in these images that we see
we can feel the strength of a mighty rod.
  More than that in this epic I not only see,
  I feel the hand of God.

CayCay Godwin December 7, 2015 at 1:37 AM Total "Cwiak" touching poetry! I adore this. Favs and a 7. I see it won, don't know the contest rules, but it is indeed a winner and such a good read. I love the rhyme, the theme and the telling - all lyrical to me ... CayCay Dan Cwiak December 9, 2015 at 3:23 PM Thanks, CayCay. I was wondering where you have been, but I knew you would be back soon. Have you looked at my MUSICALS PART II yet. That was the next installment that you were looking for after number 1. I hope you read it. It may not be funny, but it is a true reflection of the experience.
