Samir Georges Poet Free verse

Voices

And jesus gave us freedom
From our past sins 
So we took our souls to god
And asked him
“how to keep a soul clean?”
And in his silence we heard our answers
And when we preached them to the rest
In his absence
You heard our conviction
And our faith was reaffirmed
In the hearing of our own words
And the silence of god.

Carolyn Devonshire July 22, 2011 at 11:33 AM Beautiful poem of fair, Samir. Especially love the line about hearing the answers "in his silence." God speaks to us in many ways, thought we may never hear his voice. Love, Carolyn
