Best Refuge Poems

She’d dwelt within a palace, and outside
it, geese and brilliant peacocks used to strut
inside a fragrant garden.  As a bride,
she’d said her vows beside the roses, but
today no scent of blooms perfumes the air.
The terrace sculptures, rubble now, are strewn
across the floor.  She...

Cat door swings open
 
Field mouse scampers in --

God is our refuge and strength,
 in a time of trouble.
He's there to pick me up...
 when I fall and stumble.

I will not fear, though the 
whole earth be shaken.
And the mountains be thrown into 
the ocean's deep basin.

Though the waters roar, and the trees...

When I cry on my bed 
You hear me, Lord 
The shadow of Your wings 
My peace restored 

I cast all my worries 
Upon Your care 
You're my Refuge and Strength 
Your love is rare 

Broken-hearted I come 
Hide me in Thee
By Your grace lead...

I hid in plain sight
Mocked the censors
Defied the preachers
Chuckled
At their ineptitude

Took refuge
In the blank page
Hiding myself
In swirling lines
Dancing
Along the borders
Of truth

Cursed them
In muted metaphor
Defied them
In metered verse
Challenged them
In rebellious rhyme

Laughed as they counted
Syllables and iambs
Punctuated
My verses freedom

For they were frozen
And I a seething cauldron
Of love...

The pain in my chest wont stop pounding.
My salty tears wont cease to flow from my blue eyes. 
I get cut by a razor every time some one tells me the truth.
Yet here I am, once again seeking refuge in your arms. 

It's crazy to...

Ghetto me be a bleating poor refugee,
albeit I’m Goshen rich in faith
Got a manger stall in the USA,
Pilate shepherd of the Cesarian peace

Time stamped stillborn delivery
tis iron Roman numeral four C
Furnace cast existence: bane  brand  bound
Babylonian condition, a marketplace sound

Fleeced heritage ... sob...

Quote By Poet  "I am living on earth and waiting for heaven to open up."

I find my refuge in your word
reading until my eyes become blurred
Easter is almost here
face the world with no fear
always remember "Love" is your password...

Is this about the refuge life,
Leaking the essentials of being submissive…

Or shall the death defy your conscience
In being a human

Imagine the world without eyes
That sans a tiger, a cuckoo, and humanity

Kill the trees, dethrone the kings of jungle
For it seems the idea of thy existence

And...

I am a refugee
Can you see me
I am not Australian 
Not of your nation
I'm fleeing, I'm running, I'm running scared
I'm tired of running 
How far have I come
To find a new home?
My babies, my woman I've left behind 
With promises of hope
That at last I...

God Is Our Refuge And Strength...

God is our refuge and strength,
 in a time of trouble.
He's there to pick me up...
 when I fall and stumble.

I will not fear, though the

And the mountains be thrown into

Though the...

They climb to love's peak outlined in soft light,
as eager waves dance over muffled sighs -
their tropical song sways through balmy night.

An amorous kiss, each swoon at the sight
of a breathtaking moon sunken to spy.
They climb to love's peak outlined in soft light.

Bathed in silver...

Driving a desert road
touring the landscape
discovering a new world

Overwhelmed by the sight of
rocky gorges and sheer plateaus
striking with bands of white, yellow, orange, and red
fading in a blur of shimmering heat

A brilliant strobe of light flickered
lightning flared up in the clouds
the roar of kettledrums struck
followed...

Beset by bitter guilt, he treads the street.
From cheerless eyes spring teardrops he can’t quell.
His head is lowered should by chance he meet
a glance from one who knows his guise too well.

He can’t escape his ever-present shame.
It’s risen in him, like the moon this night,
and...

A Psalmody of Psalm Ninety One
God is our refuge, He is our shelter
Kept safe from demons are those who’re blessed 
Beneath wings of the Almighty that cares
Spared from the snares of unwanted foul quests.

Fear not nightmares or terrors of darkness
Under presence of angels we’re redeemed
Freed...
