Poetry God and Me


Poetry, God and Me

You have been there with me
To tell me
How I feel exactly,
When my thoughts get chaotic
My words become melodic
And I feel at peace
When I’ve had my release
Of words
God gave you to me
My own personal gift from thee
Its been a constant thing
Ritual expressions of feelings
Its my own cosmic escape
My only way to relate
To me
My own personal gift from thee

God Doesn't Make Mistakes

God doesn’t make mistakes. My mind is convinced... My heart needs a little more time. He is infinite and all wise All knowing and sovereign I dare not question His plan But this time… This one time… I think He got it wrong. For all intents and purposes I know He knows best. I know His plans are greater than my plans And His thoughts greater than my thoughts His ways are not my ways But perhaps this time… This one time… Maybe He got it wrong? I believe in the power of the Almighty. There is no one like Him. He the great Jehovah The mighty God The One who sits high And looks low. He who rules and super-rules the universe. The one who created this earth from nothing Breathed the breath of life into man Separates the night from the day. Maybe just maybe This one time He got it wrong. The wind and rain obey Him! The thunder rolls at the sound of his voice! The world cradled in the palm of his

We Wear the Mask by Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1906)

W E wear the mask that grins and lies,     It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—     This debt we pay to human guile;     With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,     And mouth with myriad subtleties.     Why should the world be over-wise,     In counting all our tears and sighs?     Nay, let them only see us, while             We wear the mask.     We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries     To thee from tortured souls arise.     We sing, but oh the clay is vile     Beneath our feet, and long the mile;     But let the world dream otherwise,             We wear the mask! This is another one of my favorite poems! Enjoy!

Poetry

Poetry I am good at this one thing. I can convey what I want to say. I can shape and make and mold my thoughts. I can fit and craft my words. I know how to form my stanzas. There is a lot I am not good at A lot that I can not do or say, But I am good at this one thing No on can take it away. I am sure this is a gift. I am sure this can touch lives. I know I am supposed to do something with it. I just haven’t figured out what and how. But I know I can…I am sure of this one thing That I am good at this one thing And no one can take it away.
