Best Manner Poems

I missed a blind corner one grim stormy night,
On a dark forest road, with no phone.
The crash was severe, but what gave me more fright

A mile, maybe two, and there loomed into view

What manner of man is this, they asked,
Whom even the winds obey?
He speaks and calms the angry seas,
Yet He's humbler far than they.

A lie for a lie that more and more dashed the expectations
When belief and rely are questioned
