Invocation

May these words upon my breast seek to help and heal and deliver for these times we may shiver at tricks the evil lay at our feet in our minds on our street that we may fall but for the call of the lord For he is not the author of confusion winged prayers will lift us in unison and the sweetest spirits will fill the room not foul language but blessed as rose bloom And the wails of the widows will prevail loved one is in heaven and we share love still just one is closer to God Fret not for he is with you dear heart And the parents who lost a child even at birth who long for a smile stillborn, SIDS, sickle cell, other illness God is moving even in the stillness And history has the issue of blood Woman healed by just one touch All these trials we hear in hymns Get you riled up to run to him Only one son can we run to And one God we trust so true When in dilemma or sticky situation Always remember invocation.

Congratulations on your winning poem, Karen. I have a card at my desk picturing two penguins facing each other. The one on the right has a huge orange fish on his head with the penguin on the left saying: "Relax! God's in charge." These word are echoed in your poem of vibrant images and unique imagery. Sending you blessings!
