Elegant to Heart

31 March 2006


With elegance her heart breathes
a refreshment of refining breath to savour
In lusts shadow—love was but a word
to communicate yet untainted to appeal

Her eyes and smile tender
hair golden to this beauty within
Unfeigned - yet unfailing
emotionally purging in therapy

A flavour of humanity to quest
her intellect all to prime resource
This heart to Canaan in wonder
a birth of friendship in a child newborn

Of a gift of strength - unified in Christ
her being a surrender to partake
Over reality to balance that of sin
the mother - the future of mankind


“All the while my breath is in me,
and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;”
Job 27: 3 KJV


a poet who cares
