Proceeding as if Grace's guidance was nonexistent, and as if deaf to danger’s screams my footsteps fall willy-nilly, too busy to pre-think, too busy dodging the penalties of previous actions to find a place out of harm's way. Would that Your voice from the heavens would boom like thunder, impossible to ignore. Your warning a recoil to stop me from taking the step whose consequences years from now will still be hard to swallow. Numbered as the grains of sand are Your thoughts of me. If comprehension were mine, the magnitude of Love You have given would still my rushing noise, quiet the ache in my soul, and guide me to a safe place- a safe place to sit and listen.

DearFriend~ This ... this ... is a safe place to sit and listen~  'Would that Your voice from the heavens would boom like thunder, impossible to ignore. Your warning a recoil to stop me from taking the step whose consequences years from now will still be hard to swallow.' May the thunder roll ... long, loud and clear~ *HUGLETS* and love to you~ ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

luminosity, a poet is not a poet because of what they write -- but because of -how- they feel. The muse will descend again, in time, and guide your pen to sing the songs that are captive in your soul. I very much enjoyed this read, thank you  ~*Sheli*~ |

Would that Your voice from the heavens would boom like thunder, impossible to ignore. But we're given that choice... and have to choose to listen. *S* Beautiful write, dear friend who listens!! *S* |

I love this, like all your poems I've read. There have been many times I wish that God would speak with a voice like thunder, too, so that I can hear Him better. But as you said so well, what He wants is for us to learn to be still and listen.
