Poems

Inspirational verse submitted by readers.

Out of bondage

You stand before unknown waters with trembling heart? It isn't thus: that the sea part, then you step. No.

The elevator ride

The doors slid shut, enclosing a packed capsule of humanity. Stomachs left behind we plummeted earthward.

My place

My place is where God wants me to be. Not in self will But humility.

God remembered Noah

God remembered the man who built his ark of sturdy stuff, pitched against hate, windowed high for radiance, buoyed with faith to lift a world up. Noah remembered God— that Love who filled the earth the heaven the sea with splendid forms all benisoned with grace, now mercy-touched to calm assurance: refuge from the flood.

Immediacy

No strike, venom, or dismay forms imagined sign, when to Truth's blaze without delay the ambush we consign. Promptly shake off insidious thought of pain, sin, fear.

The wave

ALWAYS you are cared for. ALL WAYS you are blessed.

     I waited patiently for the Lord;            and he inclined unto me,               and heard my cry.

Point of view

I can only be what God is seeing of me. And I can only see what God is knowing all to be.

For I know the thoughts

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.

Ageless psalm

All power, energy, force, sovereignty, are Yours, Father. How magnificent Your law of good interpreting the universe.
