Come, You Who Hear, Tell Me (PIF)

 

 

"But I'm so small

I can barely be seen.
How can this great love

be inside of me?"


Look at your eyes -

they're small in size,

but they see enormous things.


Prompt: You of small eyes, tell me of the bigger things.

 

 

-or-

 

 

We hunger,
but through all that we eat brings us little relief;
we don't know quite what else to do.

We have all our beliefs,
but we don't want our beliefs,
God of peace, we want You.

 

 

Prompt: You of great faith, tell me of what holds us back.

 

 

-or-

 

You'd only make the softest sound,
like sugar pouring into tea.
Darling, let yourself pour down
and dissolve into the Love
who revealed Himself there quietly to me...

 

 

Prompt: You of undying devotion, tell me of daily worship.

 

-or-

 

 

I have no fear of drowning.

It's the breathing

that's taking all this work.

 

 

Prompt: You of downtrodden spirit, tell me of anguish and desire.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rules:

  Just give me poetry; give me art.

 

 

 

 

Judging:

  

    

   I judge based on development of thought.

   Let me wrap my mind, spirit around it. 

 

 

   *edit*

   I know I've been pushing the date back a lot, but a winner will be decided tomorrow night.

 

 

 

 

 

                                              Go forth and search your souls;
                                                    look deep and look hard.

    sorry for the long time to judge.

    I'm currently at my job training for the military; it's hard to find time to do anything.
