Naked Beneath My Robe

Tossed into the stormy ocean when life struck another blow brined, devoid of all emotion lost child from Land of Goshen drowning in the ebb and flow dragged to depths by undertow Blind eyes were opened to the past of stains, blemishes carried long feint with sorrow, my fate cast gasping for air, I breathed my last Lyrics pealed from Savior's song absolving me for rebellious wrongs Gentle hands touched my feet binding chains of sin were broken Satan bellowed and roared in defeat "Taste blood's wine until replete." Was the Son of God who had spoken to me on the beach when I had woken Life rescued by the kind mercy of Him cleansed when I'd been washed ashore He whispered to me, "You can swim." Angelic voices rose in requiem Echoes from above, then nothing more Naked, but for the robe of white I wore April 21st, 2017

Lin, this was enchantingly gorgeous and I will admit, the title drew me in and now I am a bit embarrassed it did but also thrilled it did because your poem is amazing. I did not even realize it rhymed until about halfway through because the theme and subject was so spellbinding that I was lost in your thoughts and the rhymes were so smooth, they had become invisible...and that is a good thing to me. Really well done.

Your confession is priceless, Chris. Now I'll confess that a bit of marketing goes a long way. ;-) Thank you for the awesome comments. They serve as a morning chant to my senses.
