The brilliant sunshine begins to fade As the beach is covered in cool shade The sky takes on a glowing hue Of purple, pink, orange, and blue Swirling together to form The aftermath of the storm No one thought they would ever glow Unified in nature’s wondrous show Before the shelter of the bay Which is peaceful and calm today Not a wave is in sight As daylight gives way to night I sit in awe of God’s great masterpiece Its beauty grants my soul release The bonds of sin are freed from me I turn my life over to thee Do with me as you will Take my cup and drink your fill The shackles that once held my hands Are vanquished into grains of sand No longer tormenting my life I have conquered their awful strife Banishing them to the past Where all my worries shall be cast I walk now proud and tall Within the sanctuary of these walls You walk here by my side No reason left to fear or hide Total trust is placed in you For you know what I’ve been through You have seen my heart’s true tone Meant for only you alone Grant me the strength to persevere Month after month, year after year In your house I shall dwell The glory of your deeds I’ll tell Following wherever you lead Your call I’ll always heed My garment has been purified Evil’s chains have been defied Heaven is on the distant shore Through him we receive the key to the door Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

keep writing like that and you might actually get somewhere!! fabulous piece. I had a few poems in the past that corrolated the title of the poem and the last line of the poem.. take care of yourself.. hopefully I will have found my key and I'll see you in heaven when i get there. Will you give me yourself? Will you come travel with me? Shall we stick by each other as long as we live? -Walt Whitman |
