Jesus, My Beloved Savior

Post by DarleneG » Thu Sep 20, 2012 2:01 am

Almighty God, precious God,

Your breath, fresh as the morning air.

I breathe in Your Holy Spirit,

And sense Your presence everywhere.


Jesus, my beloved Savior,

In You I place my trust.

Your shield of faith surrounds me.

Your ways are fair and just.


I meditate with music on.

I sit and wait and pray,

Listening for You,

And to what You have to say.


Soon I hear my Savior,

Singing in a hymn!

And oh how my soul expands

Listening to Him.

Oooooo this is beautiful and breath taking. You have such a gift! I love it.

When I read it I added one more sylable to the ending line... I see where you were matching though as well. Just thought I would let you know.

I bet you can feel the holy ghost when you sing this in praise!

:hello: So nice to meet you peanutbutter. I'm glad you liked my poem. However, I do not understand about the last line? What do you mean? Does it need another word in there? "Like listening now to him" I do not have formal training in poetry. I just write from the heart. But I do like to Rhyme. What word would you add? I'm always open to learning and improving my poems. Thank you so much. Darlene :hearts:

"As it completely takes Him in"

I like that. :\ Not sure if thats too much of a twist on where you were already at with your last line...

The pleasure is all mine Darlene. I have already formed a high opinion of your work. You write well. Glad I was able to "meet" you.

Yes you do write from the heart... however there is no actual RULE of poetry. I mean, well, poetry, it just is. And you come to find your own style, your own rhythm, and even your own rhyme. The one that expresses you as though it were you. And when I read it, I will know it is you.
