Poetry
The page is blank,
whiter than white,
and it waits for fiery
Fingertips
to dance upon its surface.
The Words come
like rain.
Some rhyme
and keep time.
And some are simple,
but profoundly prophetic
and gracefully
without meter.
"I don't understand."
The pen shakes
in trembling hands
as the Father's voice
breaks through the barriers
of flesh:
"But you will.
The words do not belong
to the poet."
Soon enough,
tongues of fire
quicken the heart
and release a river
of poetry.
I am undone,
dead but alive.
Who is this King of Glory?
A page is turned.
My fingertips burn.
The Father hands me
His pen.
Open, oh ye mysteries.
Pour out a brand new song,
brought forth from ancient history
that the saints might sing along.
Poetic spirit of grace
fills blank pages with signs
of wonder in liquid ink
and a fire between the lines.
A blank page
floats in space,
knowingly awaits
the anointed poet.
And the poet waits
for the dance
of Fiery fingertips
to direct the flow
of ink.
Give me another blank page.

AWESOME!!!
I haven't kept up with the "Challenge", so if the contest is not over, I hope your anointed words win. You are a winner to me!
Awesome! Such an anointed poet.
Treava, "The Anointed Poet" is exquisite - like a delicate jewel, beautiful to see, yet so strong that it will last forever! These words say it all: "...The words do not belong to the poet.” Oh, yes, that is the anointing that all who write for the Lord hope for - to be tools for God to use.... only you said it in a much more eloquent way! WONDERFUL! Love, Mama Peg
Such an anointing one that all would hope for. May He continue to use you for His glory. I love you, Sharon
