Panagiota Romios Poet Free verse

Let God Be God

~"To Him that made great lights, His Mercy, endureth, forever"~


Man is not God but suffers when
man acts as Him.
He grows weary being Him, or
contrarily plays helpless. Never thinking of asking God for help.

"In the deep forest I will search 
for you and find you. 
Along the running brook, with awesome leaves, 
the Lord is all over the earth. 
The tall pines sing your name."

"I cannot hide from your presence.
In the midst of the desert, I find you or under 
a stream."

All our problems are solvable! The  world sends 
us tin answers to soul longing questions.

We forget this final verse and in
so doing, cause ourselves such pain.

"Do not let your heart be troubled.
And...what do you benefit, if you gain the whole 
word yet lose your 
own soul"

Wishing all a great week!
Panagiota

Regina Mcintosh September 23, 2019 at 8:01 PM "Do not let your heart be troubled. And...what do you benefit, if you gain the whole word yet lose your own soul" - THIS IS so true. Bless you for adding it to your poem. God bless you much and always. Gina Panagiota Romios September 23, 2019 at 10:45 PM Gina, I needed to have you repeat this back. About...what do you benefit if you gain the whole world and yet...lose your soul! Thanks. Also, I was not at PS much today. One poem I lost when I was pasting it? So I have to rewrite it. Will post one or two tonight. Love, Panagiota

Jennifer Proxenos September 23, 2019 at 4:11 PM "Do not let your heart be troubled. And .. what do you benefit, if you gain the whole world yet lose you own soul' A frightening thought, and pain and darkness ever after. "I cannot hide from your presence". I only have to ask or seek for You - for You are OMNIPRESENT, and OMNIPOTENT and OMNISCIENT! I do love this write, thought provoked Panagiota mou. Hugs Jennifer.
