Notes About The Poem

Spirit Fed

.
Busy busy day
No time to stop~pray
Internal strong light 
Diminishing out
Candle going now

If only prayed
A few seconds
Feeding candle
Holy Spirit

No prayer 
Candle flame
Now flickers

Small test 
Lights out

Sad

In honor of Paula Swanson's 
contest: "By Candle Light"

This is a reminder to those too busy with the world, have forgotten that Who Pulls the Strings. Nice one, madame.

I think I liked this one even better because it focused more on your personal struggle with prayer! good luck in the contest. I saw the nice picture.

Enjoyed the depth of this Sara. Your diminished use of words seems to bring the truth of the verse into prominence. So nice my friend!
