I am a character
In search of my author
Walking great distances in a circle
Wishing for a plot
Wanting a destination
Perhaps a soliloquy
Please fill my lips with your words

If you wish I will play the fool
You be my King
I am yours to rule

For too long
I have been without a script
From a confused heart my thoughts have dripped
Within your story I wish to be gripped

The Author of me
From whom I have roamed
Through your scriptures I will comb
Till I learn the lines that lead me home
As I study please capture my mind
Till within my spirit we are intertwined
Light from light no longer blind

You are the beginning and completion of me
Apart from you I cease to be
Thankyou, Thankyou for helping me see
The part of Your story written for me

Just That Archaic Poet Date: 2/10/2014 9:40:00 AM Surprised to see me, old friend? Well, wonderfully enough, I understood this poem quite well and marveled at your creativity and the crafty way you wrote this. It's really quite stunning, and you know if this is coming from me about a free-verse, that's saying a lot lol. I loved the message and sentiments expressed. Never, EVER thought I would "fave" a "free-verser", but this is exceptional and exquisite. Loved it, Richard :) Login to Reply Just That Archaic Poet Date: 2/10/2014 10:05:00 AM Cool, I'm happy to hear that, because you have made my day on more than one occasion with your praise and reviews of my work.

Jerry Bolton Date: 2/5/2014 4:19:00 PM Ahhh . . . Our poems coincide pretty much today. I hear you reaching out for help. I did that for years, trying to come to terms with it all. I wish you luck in your endeavor, and I have a feeling you will come out the winner. Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 2/5/2014 5:35:00 PM I've been fortunate to have already come to terms with God many years ago. I am however still a work in progress, I never know what new lines he has ready for me to learn.
