redeeming feature
a peg

a poem on
enough of a crutch
to justify

In this ugly world of mistrust and hate
A redeeming factor is when love resonates
Above all else
Even a lifetime of wealth
Can't compare to the caring of a loving mate...

Unum Carmen
 
Too many good thoughts
so many bad poems
The bridge to forever
exacting its toll
Too many to count
just one to remember
As beauty releases
—redeeming the soul

Features Redeeming and Streaming

May forget which features were redeeming;
Great qualities that in should be streaming;
All in full sight;
Okay and right,
And did appear in thoughts while dreaming.

Redeeming Feautures

One of my features which would redeem
Is I always liked eating cold ice cream
With whipped cream and many nuts
Hearing natives singing from huts
And clams when they start to steam.

Our scars
self-requited 
define
who we are

The pain
when it’s welcome
embedded
unmarred

Each blemish
redeeming
those choices
to blame

Absolving
our future
releasing
the shame

Lord
Jesus
Christ, Light of
the World, You came
to illuminate
the darkness of man's soul
with the radiance of God's
Redeeming love. Even now Your
Light shines in the darkness giving sight
to the blind and giving life to the dead.

Suffering sautées souls
Peeling away the impurities 
Revealing the obscurities
Redeeming even polishing
Character like a crystal 
Creating out of clay
A great new display
Despite mud of former day
Wiped and made
Shiny and new
A pearl birthed by world...

their seasonal fling
leaves little imagining ~
passion's bits abound
naked, shamed, consigned to wait,
redeeming spring, yet far off…

Who out of word wet set himself as image model here
What prompted him, to so congeal his absolute sphere
When we were nothing, redeeming the cup's full despair
Where was never asked of him, the absolute everywhere:
Why would such a thing change a deity, nothing dare?...

Grace*
 of God
  abounds well
    redeeming me...
      freed!!!

Saved
 from hell
   mercy-filled
    faith's liberty...
     serve!!!

Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

Walking on a cold dark day
I can’t see the sun it’s so grey
A brisk wind chills the soul
To make it home quickly my goal
Quietly the clouds open to a redeeming sun
A warming for the world cheekily won
Even on the coldest day
There is light and warmth in hope you pray.

As the Cup Runneth Over

	           thirst
             dire, immediate
 pleading, despairing, compelling
 newborns, world, pneuma, rivers
    living, assuaging, redeeming
            quenched, blessed
                  wellspring

Birth of A Poem

What can be done with these pedestrian morsels?
I have tasted unformed clay before.

Phrases plead to be thrown into
the redeeming realm of manifestation.

Pushing to be metaphoric,
they will arise and come to me.

From some unplumbed soliloquy.

Little blessings carry through,
great and precious is my king,
always for aye.

Little things mean so very much,
redeeming grace from Jesus,
always for aye.

Undieing love is the greatest gift,
my saviours blood it is,
always for aye.

Unending mercy is pure and sublime,
Jesus is Lord,
Always for aye....

Gratitude

Greatly appreciate
grace that’s so divinely
granted to us kindly.
Giving Jesus thanks with 
gratefulness each day for
God’s redeeming love and
generous gifts, we pray.

As youth I frequented harlots
and took dark substances
Paid a price for both!
But I have now found the craft of poetry 
to be most redeeming!  
Peace will come to you out there in the darkness
Only if you are willing to share your innermost feelings 
with that "nation within a nation"
The readers and writers of verse!...

The day is done
You have chosen your cross
It is filled with hate
You must Carey it's weight
No Remorse
No Shame
How heavy it must be
This path is your choice
a manipulative voice
You can blame only you 
It's snare is of your own scheming
believe in the Lord 
It will prove redeeming 
Just know that we are praying...
