Notes About The Poem

 

Testing the waters: Blitz

Dreams scattered
dreams mattered

Mattered much
mattered deeply

Deeply touched
deeply shattered

Shattered lives
shattered spirits

Spirits mending
spirits lending

Lending healing
lending feelings

Feeling hopeful
feeling faithful

Faithful words
faithful deeds

Deeds done
deeds undone

Undone damage
undone scars

Scars mark
Scars wounds

Wounds healed
wounds flesh

Flesh weak
flesh sight

Sight see's
sight's faith

faith speaks
faith marches

Marches slower 
marches pace

Pace slower 
pace timing

timing
time

we will
shine

again
by 
grace.

Vicki, This poem is absolutely amazing. It is like a cross between EE Cummings, Maya Angelou, and Langston Hughes. Your rhyme and alliteration are bested only by the profound nature of your content. I am so amazed by how talented everyone on the website is. Your talent and your insight is astounding. And I love the end where you reference grace, which evidences your love for God and the transcendent. Thank you for this gift!! Woody Lucas
