Poetry To Me
Powerful! Such is poetry at work…
Oh!!! So overwhelming at its best
Earnest in its evocative essence
True to its communicative trademark
Revealing realities, ready for responses
Yes; verily mighty… stirring you and me.
Precious as a gem, priceless is poetry’s wisdom
Open to all; offering avenues for self-expression
Empathy-laden; examines as it edifies inner being
Tool more than a tongue; touches heart’s verities
Reliever of soul’s angst; reckoning expert
Yonder hope’s anchor; yesterday’s re-liver.
Praise to God is what my poetry proclaims
Overtaken with His blessings, I ought His grace declare
Exalting Him, extolling His goodness constantly
Testifying about His love, unconditional and wondrous
Reporting thru verses, recording by stanzas His greatness…
Yielded am I to Him, my faith’s Author* Whom I live for!
*Hebrews 12:2 “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith…”
