A poem.
————————-
Not Lost
Something missing
but not lost
Everything lined up nicely but
what now
what’s missing
NO SPIRITUAL EARNING POWER
Told many times he loves you
you’re not lost
Also told many lies
by wrong good people
When will I learn my lesson
or is this how it is
when you’re different
because he made you so
Take me back
I don’t really have a comment except to say that I like the poem. Especially this bit: “Also told many lies
by wrong good people”.
Deep Waters
Hm – yes, man’s heart
(the busy thinking part)
is a deep pool
to the bottom no one ever really gets nearer;
not even its bearer
This heart, I think
(below the brink)
is a cesspool
and only the surface gleams now above the glum;
few see beyond its shiny s*****
God is my pool-care
His Word and prayer
are chlorine
He tests me to bring the dirt to the surface;
as life stirs my deep waters
Godless and untended
completely undefended
my heart
grows gradually dull, dirty and dark;
as mishaps make their mark
How comfortably sin’s strangling weeds
nourished thoughtlessly by fruitless deeds
grow in the soul swamp
only obedience could ever bring rejuvenation;
hmm…to clear water revival : celebration!

Thanks so much for this Gavin, I really like it. Why not post things like this as articles next time … it’s certainly worth it.
Any more poems, anyone?
Very cool stuff.
Liking it.
