Four and Eight of States

What is love?

Is it reality?

Is it your best friend? An illusionary mind full of per-ambles...AND THEN tomorrow again?

Can it get, like a machine can shop?

Do we spiel and squeal like wheels-

or the heels and hails in the hails?

What is diatonic in petitionary collusion(s)?

I see disputing commendations and suspended dreams with smoke and things...

I see how everything can clash, and then we need a piece...

Premium Member Shadow of Your Wings a Petitionary of Praise

a delightful
     sweetist singer
after the Lord's 
                      heart
with perspectives
under
   the shadow of 
                His hand
at points of need
at points of failure
            ill-used
            disapponted
            disillusioned

distilled
     truths&lessons
become
     a poem

a voice of honesty
rehearsing
repeating
          dwelling
             on Him
in the experience
                          of defeat

blessing
        a response
in wonder love &praise
all
   pass before our mind
in pleas
        to intercede
in devotion
       beautiful confidene
that overflow

He
   who sustains&
                        surrounds
an awareness
  in a never failing love
in the face of mockery
&suffering
a counsel of hope
a refuge
       to the heart
           in satisfying mercy
a way of deliverance
by
transforming
                   power
     within
