(And another iambic?)

A year has passed,  a new one now begins..
With wonder we await for things to come
which never have we touched, nor felt, nor seen.

We need not shout across an empty space
to reach an absent God – He’s nearer than
we think.  He dwells in every leaf that stirs,
in all the changing colors of the sky.
We cannot hide from Him although we try.

Let’s welcome then with hearts aglow with hope
this new year full of promises to keep.
He stretches out His Hand for us to hold.

Across the iambic spaces indeed.  It's nice to have you here at Passions.  You may be our first from Manila.  I've approved you for participation in the Poetry Workshop, and I look forward to your contributions.  We do a different theme each month, and welcome requests from our poets...

your words bring me comfort during a hard time for me...it's nice to be reminded that God is here.  Thank you for sharing.

To Alwye, I'm glad to know that in my small way thru a poem, I've touched people's hearts.
