Dew

There I am
as morning's dew;

the arms of grace are flowers' petals.
Such grace blankets me
with warmth,
& I know a home that never fades.

It's in Your love that I find peace.

One pulse, one dream & eternity
are all that we have shared;
in You I run, & am enjoined
like dew on morning's life.

It's in Your love that I find sight.

& cradled like the morning dew
I find Your touch to save.

This didn't come out as I had wanted, but I know He loved it just the same. I really wanted to work more with the thought of me being just a bud of dew, transparent and through me Christ (the flower) being seen. I don't think I was able to express that as I wanted, but I still have that thought in mind and want to write a better piece someday.

Thank you for the great contest. God bless you.

    I don't really like spiritual poetry all that often, but I LOVED this! It was so.. soft. I love that. I could go to sleep if someone read this to me.

    This was really cool. Again, this took me a little bit to figure out. Maybe it's because it's early in the morning? I dont know. But your poetry rocks... And the more I read your poetry the more I believe you got robbed in Teen Idol.

    dear justin,
    I do believe that you did a great job in translating the image of you being a dewdrop and Christ being the flower into words that created a wonderful poem. how your devotion shines through your words when you write that you consider yourself as a transparent drop of water through which one can see the Lord.
    beautifully you speak about His Arms of Grace being the flower's petals which embrace you. this is indeed a very, very graceful and joyful prayer-like poem you have offered us here in this contest.
    I am very touched by it.
    thank you.

    maa

    This piece is great. It really does show exactly the message you weret rying to express; and you've chosen such a beautiful metaphor to represent it. Your rhythm compliments it perfectly and is maintained well. My one suggestion is that you cahnge the "&" signs for the word "and", but that is just a technicality and my ocd, lol
