A Rose in the Rain

Like the air that I breathe
I cannot contain your love, my Lord.
To live I must exhale,
let go
and give

your love...

is too high to reach, too vast to embrace,
too beautiful to bear-
your mercy,
your grace

like no other I've ever known
and I can't understand
the extent of
your love.

And still, here I am
within it;
like a dove on the wind,
like a rose in the rain,
like a child in her father's arms-
I can know it, yet, cannot attain
your love.

I can rest in it, yet, it cannot rest in me-
it must flow
free

your love

is too sweet not to share,
too awesome to keep inside,
too powerful to withold,
too much to hoard,
too bright to hide.

Like no other I've ever known-
belongs to me
yet, is not my own.

I cannot contain such love.
To live I must exhale,
let
go
and give

your love.

I really love the theme here! Very creative!
I've read a few of your articles and am anxious to read the rest. Will probably read 4 or 5 a day for a few days. So, expect that you'll be getting a few more reviews from me. Happy writing!

Now this is a poem! Craft mixed with spirit and anointing. I love it, for it flows delightfully, and makes me think about God and his truth. Thanks. Roger
