Beata Agustin Poet Ode

Notes About The Poem

Tribute To Holy Scribes

Entrusted with divine oracles
reverberating with “Thus saith the Lord”
of wondrous historical chronicles
proclaimed as “Thy Word”...
you documented sovereign miracles
on scrolls, through frayed, cannot be vanquished by evil sword.

Hence, you are honoured with your diligence
along heavenly vision-iridescence 
to publish the Creator’s statements
not using any pen, but crude scribbling implements.

Inditing* blessed Scriptures
you are ancient writers of spiritual calling
endowed with wisdom of grandfathers' scribe-features
exposing Genesis patriarchs in their faith fulfilling
never under desk lamp but upon the Holy Ghost’s illumining ventures
assured by God’s power, never failing.

Thus, your devotion is commended indeed
by what you’ve done, many souls have been freed
reached with the Almighty’s love and grace
blessed while reading His living Book with trust and praise.

*Psalm 45:1 My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

John Hamilton July 9, 2020 at 12:22 PM Enjoyed this Beata, I was going to write one along these lines, the Masoretes were so diligent. I think Craig is asking for 3 or 4 words which you haven't included, pity to not place because of that! Beata Agustin July 10, 2020 at 8:18 AM Thanks for calling my attention regarding such. I already had them included. God bless you.
