It took me a while to finally find my place,
here with the lord in the sanctum of His Grace.
From years of constant peccant,
to now knowing that even family and friends come second.
The first homily in my new church caught me off guard.
But by the end, incipient was my truest relationship with our God.
That night it was my turn to cry,
feeling the Lord becoming the strength of my life.
Since then, only a few times have I faltered.
But compared to, even the week before, my life has been altered.
In such a grand way the its sometimes hard to see
how I was so convivial, too lost in "that" scene.
It was like a film in slow motion,
always putting myself in the middle of negative commotion.
I was so dissolute. From missing friends birthdays
to making friends late for work because of my bad ways.
I was so beholden to them and myself,
that it was time to put that life on the shelf.
And it came at such a perfect time,
that feelings of ebullience were overwhelmingly sublime.
It was like finding the light switch
in the farthest corner of the darkest darkness.
I was ready to give out, shut down,
just forget it all and lose the sound
that life blasts into my ears, always
putting me down and filling me with craze.
But immediately after I found Him,
I lost that urge to forget how to live.
In a sense, it was His act of clemency,
accepting me even after all of my peccancy.
And thats just the tip of the iceberg.
I know every word I've spoke He has heard.
Although it might not be answered right away,
I know He's working in one of His mysterious ways.
Now I am adamant to anyone that questions my beliefs.
Trying to get me to think, just maybe, He's make-believe.
Well I enjoin their effort to proselytize me to their side.
I've seen too much to let my open eyes hide.
Every night before I sleep my palms face firmament,
sending my prayers to Him, making my peace permanent.
And while recumbant, I picture me and Him on His throne,
resting my head on His shoulder as He tells me I'm not alone.
And with Him holding me it's easy to be quiescent,
I can feel His warmth that feels so pleasant.
In trice, Im asleep dreaming my dreams,
being able to pop my imaginations seams.
Just to wake up the next day and thank Him for opening my eyes,
And giving me a chance to live for Him with my life.

Jamison,

First, thank you for taking on a couple of my challenges and doing them with such exuberance. Also, thank you for challenging me... not only with your poetry challenges, but here with your Wonderful Wonderful words of expression. You are very very expressive and, I admit, that I had to keep a dictionary within arms reach. There were some parts of your poem that I found to be exceptionally inspiring and true and those were that once you come to the Lord that there is absolutely no denying Him and absolutely no going back (who would want to?) and, also, I really enjoyed the image of you resting your head on His shoulder and the Peace that encompassed you as you were there. Again, Wondrerful, Beautiful, and Most Expressive poetry you've shared here with us and, again, thank you and God bless.

-Bob
