still running away from frightening fears
stop fleeing God's face
silence your soul and seek His forgiveness

This is an attempt at a new poetry form by Sweet Briar. I've been thinking a lot about how I run away and try to hide from myself and God. That's where this little poem is coming from.
this won a bronze trophy in Sweet Briar's "quickie contest." 4/17/05

Lovely and spirtitual.
Yes this is short but has so much meaning in it. Sometimes there a great deal of depth in the saying less is more. -
Short but spiritual. Excellent word choice and I'm at lost for words....

great poem
oh, the center phrase "....stop fleeing God's face..." is powerful. As I have said, in other posts, I am not Christian but I honor their beliefs. ....so much guilt and fear...
Awwwwwwww, hugs! -
You used this form to post a good point. We are probably all guilty of doing the same thing you spoke about at one time or another, for whatever reasons. But like Jenn said, "you can run but you can't hide" I don't think the Lord lets up on us, He just continues to pursue us till we finally relent.
Well written! vj -
Short, but to the point and still very nicely worded. I like the repetition of the soft "c" & "s" sound throughout the poem; not quite alliteration, but enough to be noticed and keep the poem very tight and together.

Wow you did a better job at this form then I did. I love this and the message you have here. And I understand where you are comming from I know there are times I try to run and hide from GOD but no matter how hard I try to hide he always finds me
Thank you for entering and Good Luck to ya
