Saved, I am, and saved I'll be
Across the ebb of eternity.
No more tedious tendency
Can shake my soul's tenacity.
Telling you won't make it so
Under skies of blue and gold
Although I reach inside my soul
Resist the urge to let you know
Yet end of time will surely show.
Still, saved I am, and what's to be
Assumes responsibility.
Now I have a gift for thee
Caring, sharing world to see
Till time stands still apart from me.
Undone are winds that freezing blow
Around His love I surely grow.
Reaching out to all of those
Yearning for escape from woe.

Thanks so much for the comments, Cousin. Just very glad it touches a few people who run across it
-
I agree with this one.
This is another one to be shared with the group that I study the bible with. I liked this and well you pretty much said it. -
No reason you cant. Just keep giving it a whirl till something comes out that suits your fancy . I have a ton of bits and pieces of trash poems that have simply never jelled. Just write and write and write and write...well you get the idea

nice poem i wish i could write about things like that

Lol, there are far too many things to shriek about. I truly beleive that spirituality is an inside job. So I make a feeble attempt to walk the walk myself rather than choke anyone with my own incompetence. I don't like climbing onto a --high horse-- because it hurts very badly when I fall off .
Thank you so much for your comment, it truly means a lot to me
-
I have to admire you for your faith because you do it so gently, no bible thumping, shrieking banshee here..
A lovely piece of poetry.

Thank you for your words of encouragement . This was a great contest for me. It was almost as if the words were floating in the universe just waiting for me to catch them in my butterfly word net

Absolutely, Red. No matter one's devoutness, we all have those moments of doubt and pain. The moment when no man, woman, or child can pull us through. I do believe that God often works through people in my life, but we humans are not to be depended on entirely. We are only human, afterall

Thank you so much for the comments. While the picture itself was very moving, I think you are right about the word itself, Stacy. It sort of makes one close their eyes and seek the quiet place where inspiration lies in the first place . I am off to see how your acrostic came out .
-
Wonderful!
Great acrostic. I too entered an acrostic for this contest. There's just something about the word sanctuary that makes you want to create a piece that stands for something, but also has meaning on its own. Yours also rhymed very well. I love the message being delivered... many more need to hear it, and even more need answer.
Well done, and best wishes to you in the contest!

Wonderful
Your acrostic is warm. If you should ever lose your faith in the people on tv, or in a conversation, or from religion itself---have faith in God alone, because when He comes there will be no religion and a great account made.
He will be unveiled as the Truth but for now we must trust in His invisible presence.
As for the background, thank you for using the rainbow in such a beautiful way! If I ever have tears, may a rainbow form in their midst.
Be blessed from His crown

having a purity of heart is not enough to get us to our heaven....life is our trial and tribulations...we need a purity of forgiveness with a morality of life..we all can be saved if we ask for the light....humble and with prayers...
lovely writing here...my thoughts have taken to it.
