MY PALMS WOUNDED IN BATTLE

rain taunted the mood one drop at a time like sand through the hourglass no snow in no man’s land only poured out on top of decrepit heads with expectations over said heads it’s snowing too deep my knees are weak where is the honor of contentment when buried six feet under the flood… I float above the fray holding my hands out as oil fills my cups - my palms wounded in battle, H I S I’m forever HIS I am content oil and water don’t mix the Holy Spirit wins

Your poem portrays you strong faith, which has helped you in adversity and overcome times when you have felt like drowning.. but we only drown if we stay in the water and your faith helps you float and swim through it.. All the best for 2024 Kim. Another year of poetic soup and all the love that comes with it..

Kim your poignant spiritual poem vividly illustrates the struggle against life's trials. Through metaphors of rain, snow, and spiritual resilience, you eloquently portray a resilient spirit finding contentment in surrender. The imagery, emotional depth, and the theme of finding peace in spiritual faith resonate profoundly, crafting a powerful narrative within a concise yet evocative structure. Our God is our resting place. Happy New Year, Kim! Blessings, Daniel!
