When Horses Come
This poem is CUBE16 which is a form I created several years ago. The poem is based on a scripture verse.
If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? Jeremiah 12:5
Today seems hard
as chaos reigns.
Both fears and doubts
forge breakproof chains.
A time will come
when men will fear,
as danger lurks
and rushes near.
Travail draws close
and doubts beset,
as hearts perceive
a mortal threat.
Today perceives
that fearful time.
Approaching soon,
when dread will climb.
What shall we do?
What can we say?
We hope the fear
will rush away.
A look around
appeases not.
We covet cool,
but times are hot.
In Gilead
resides a balm,
remembering
delivers calm.
I call on God
requesting strength.
He steels my heart;
width, breadth, and length.
