The heart yearns in
darkened glory,
alluring souls to its
fascinations of life.
Incantations of mystique
conjure wonderment which
translates into creativity.
Predestined is the spirit
of a poet to carve into
reality the nuances of life.
Capturing the brilliance
and glory of a creator
who will not be denied.
But rather through love offers
insight into his many portals
of infinite majesty.
Seen through the baptized eyes
of blessed creatures annointed
with artistic delight.
Author notes
In this piece I try to explain that a
poet is made by the creator and has little
choice but to express the beauty that is God.
Although I'm sure some don't hold my view.
It is my expressed opinion that we are all
given gifts before we're born that are inplanted
in our DNA. To be used as blessings and to promote
His glory.

Superb
Ah, 'tis a fine write and equally applicable to all faiths christian and non-christian as well. I am not a christian yet I find this poem to be inspirational since I can replace the word "God", with "Supreme Being", and your poem then fits into my spiritual beliefs. Thanks again for sharing this one with us.

Your choice of words is excelent, it evokes such a precise meaning. Most people who brush this subject end up being vague and cliche, but your approach is quite fresh. Very well done, though I have a few discrepancies with your philosophy, not to say that it isn't interesting though. The title is really great too, just from a glance it makes you want to read this piece.

I partially agree with you,the ideas are similar but do deviate from each other to some extent. we should all praise God for our human abilities.
