Kim Van Breda Poet Rhyme

Out of the Shadows

OUT OF THE SHADOWS


Insides turned inside out
head to foot—shaking with fear
intense and troubled—no way out
pressure was on—wanting to run
praying for a tactical escape
please protect me from this fate

I call to God-- dawn, noon and dusk
sighs deep within He hears -- sets free
amidst danger-- once more whole and secure
whilst endurance learnt, His provision discovered
no need to flee --simply call His name
He reigns supreme -- above trials and pain


(Inspired by Psalm 55)

"Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest…"<>

Richard Lamoureux May 16, 2013 at 9:31 AM Makes me think of the song "Jesus Take The Wheel" great scripture reference as well. I wrote a traditional Cinquain for you as an example. If you have a chance have a look.
