Man Must Find

Man Must Find By Dane Smith-Johnsen Words in the night spent on heaven’s sheen Shared with friends one has never seen. Ramble through the mind unwitting. In hopes that words shall be well fitting. Occasions come with explanations gird. Upon the heart that has not God heard. Words that vanish in the dark Words that hold an inner spark, Words that hide within one’s heart, Words that light an inner part, Words that heard by mountain’s stones Are filled with a spirit’s inner groan. Whether running through the hills Or laughing loudly sending chills Whether sitting where ancients sat Or hearing words that God begat, Whether walking down a hall Or on a court with a basket ball, There are places inside the heart Places that shall not depart. There are places in the mind Where many thoughts are left behind. There are places in the soul Places that know God’s greatest goal. Whether shopping in a mall Or on your knees giving God a call. Whether lost within a book Or within one’s self taking a look. Whether resting on a bench Embracing God with one’s soul synched. As we wander the asphalt roads Remember the path to God’s abode. And if your burden ever seems too great, Call on Him; do not hesitate. God, our father, whose spirit stands Will always reach for His children’s hand. 9-13-2009 Start time: 4:00 End time 4:23+13 proof read “Write Now” practice piece. 23 min.

Congratulations to ME, My “Write Now” poem is among the winners in Matt’s contest. By letting my thoughts flow, upon this re-read, I smile. Rhyming chimes in my mind. Poems' leftover words did unity find... in a little time. Thanks Matt. I'll do this again from time to time. Just to get a peek inside my mind. Love you all!!! Dane Ann (No, I'm not egotistical... just happy to have placed.)
