beyond horizon’s concealment
pawing through hinterlands of black
light strives to be seen
before light breaks
spirit ascends
knees to earth
heart unbound
words…or just thoughts…cascade upward to heaven
uncloaked, unasked, unveiled…
to keep secrets from One who knows all…
not possible.
beseeching, entreating, adjuring
indebtedness acknowledged
emplaced aside sovereignty
lain softly
as a flutter
upon a pillow
full of Grace
forger of this body
occasioner of my soul
attend to this existence
my hunger never absent
yearning of my blood
longing, thirsting, wishing
to be
a vessel
Of. Your. Love.
all notions reflecting
conceptions, decisions, possessions,
accrue
heart seeking heart
to only please…
You
neither able nor strong
nor intrepid, nor sage
You directing the opus
Me hiding backstage
A wish,
an aim,
For eyes beholding further
Arms held higher
Sturdy hands
Noble thoughts
from the very beginning…
my highest desire
a heart steadfastly directed
devoted to you
intently inclined,
determined
unwavering,
faithful,
true
amen

*beautiful*, Craig, and i will openly admit that you used some words in sequence that have me a little baffled…i will have to think on this deeply to understand some of it, but my coffee hasn’t kicked in yet 😉 i love it when writers use words that make me look it up in order to learn something new.
if you can cause someone to think deeper and analyze, then you know you are a good poet!
I KNOW – those “words in sequence” – they may be a little too poetic – but when I look back at them, and read it slowly, I get why I wrote it that way. and I’ve said this often before – I don’t write poetry often – poetry is very mean to me – it takes too much effort – prose is much easier – and friendlier for my brain – if not as poetic (ˆ◡ˆ) God bless you Nacole.
<3
thank you Michelle
♥ back at you (◕‿◕)
Just beautiful!!
Tammi, first of all, I’m sorry it took so long for me to reply to your comment. You got caught in my spam catcher, and I didn’t clear it out till today – luckily I looked before removing all of the spam – because YOU are not spam. Sorry!
Secondly, thank you for your kind words, I’m really not a poet – I’m a prose guy – poetry takes way too much for each word, for each syllable, prose is easy (◕‿◕)
and last, it makes me smile you came here, and read, and commented, thank you – and God bless and keep you and each and every one of yours!
Lovely!
as I’ve said often, and just the other day to Nacole, a couple of comments above yours, I don’t write poetry often – poetry is very mean to me – it takes too much effort – takes too much out of me – so much poured into each word – each syllable – I assume for a real poet it’s easier – but prose is much easier – and friendlier for my brain – if not as poetic (ˆ◡ˆ) anyway, thank you Linda, thank you very much, and God bless and keep you this day!
