What beautiful poetry everyone...awesome!! I use to write a lot of poetry when I was younger but have let it go over the years. But all of you have inspired me to pick up the pen and try my hand at it again!! Stay tuned....
In the meantime I wanted to share not a poem but the lyrics to a song I really love:
Lost At Sea by Jimmy NeedhamHow could you see what you see
and not totally
Want to discontinue me
for all eternity and then some
It bothers me so that I could be so
Completely unaffected when connected to the holy one
And so I sit here and stare at this page
and wonder at what age
it will become clear to me
So for now I am clueless
to how you do this
And how you move this spirit in me
Chorus:
I’m going Your way
Even though I cannot see in front of me
I’m going Your way
Even though I feel lost at sea
How could your favor be the flavor I savor
When the fruits of my labor are so unfavorable
And old pages
are setting the stages
for something outrageous
A man who can save all our souls
Ride the wave, wave goodbye, by the way did I mention today
That I don’t know the way home
So could you take me by the hand
and lead me to the dryer land
So I can finally breathe again instead of sinking like a stone
And now I will diligently
and not religiously
but affectionately
come before the throne of your grace
in this place and seek your face
For all eternity and then some
