My Story

I use it all.
The big for small, 
The stopped to start,
The inseparable to part.

Without a thought
I change cold to hot
And night into day
In much the same way
As I make cynics pray
And the rebellious obey.

With a wave of my hand
Tiny streams split the land,
Scores of angels take flight,
Every wrong becomes right.

And as the sun dims
To the least of my whims,
I turn back the pages
To where it all begins.

Where men in black
Pay for lives filled with sin.
And I ride into the sunset
Knowing the good guys will win.

As the sun sets at the end of our day, truly it is God who determines who wins passage to eternal life. And as you describe so well, Joshua, it's the good guys who prevail. Very nicely written. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I hope to have the opportunity to read more of your work. Best wishes, Carolyn
