THRUST


Curvaceous verse
Panoramic vocabulary
Mind bending soliloquy
Sincere attempt at piercing lyricism
Hermetic thoughts flow freely
Never planned
Absent minded orchestration
Poetic gift is truly divine
His power
Surging through my modest pen
So often I am mystified
By the cryptic finished product
The fine line diminishes
Between my selfish ego
And His holy direction
Once I was so cavalier
Brimming with vain expression
Now my focus is servile
To praise and honor Jesus Christ
Frequently
My words
Misunderstood
Controversial
Perplexing
Even by my own measure
Locution I cannot claim
Flowing from a higher plain
Tender
As a lotus bloom
Porous as planar sandstone
Inspirational I pray
Unassuming legacy
As He leads me along the chosen way
I am honored to share my journey
Sharpened point of view
Perhaps a glimpse of hope
To those who feel my thrust
