Lin Lane Poet Rhyme

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

Jan Allison April 21, 2017 at 9:48 AM Oh wow Lin the title pulled me in BUT the content was totally different from what I was expecting so beautiful and spiritually uplifting my friend, your faith shines from every line:-) hugs jan xx7 Lin Lane April 21, 2017 at 10:47 AM Thank you for knowing me well enough to know the strength of my faith, Jan.

Chris Green April 21, 2017 at 8:50 AM 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. Lin Lane April 21, 2017 at 9:25 AM 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.
