Jenna Logan Poet Sonnet

His Touch Embraced My Soul

I was floating in darkness, searching for the truth
Not quite believing what I'd been told in my youth
Lotus bud, unable to open in full bloom
fearing without light, I would wither in my gloom

Then I read the righteousness of God's Holy Word
Sentiments within my heart were aroused and stirred
I was blossoming like a Lotus in moonlight
Saved by contrition, petals unfurled in pure white

A flower nurtured by His own merciful hands
no more searching; an enlightened one understands
the divine glory of God and His clement grace
I felt his touch upon my soul as an embrace

Spiritual elation rid me of my grief
Trusting in His Word nourished my faith and belief
