Gift of Poetry

Poetry, a gift,
A way of beauty.
A moment of simplicity
in beautifully crafted words.

Poetry, a moment of Holy pause
where words invite intimacy
and a moment to go deeper.
Deeper into my own soul.
Deeper into the mystery
that is you God.

Poetry a way for you God
to open me up.
To pour into me
the wonder of your grace.
Grace that is given in
Your invitation to me,
to pause and slow down
to find the strength to
bend and not break.

Poetry a way of expressing
my deepest thoughts
in intimate conversation
with you God.

AMEN.
