    Poem Commentary

    God gave me gentle nudges which I ignored, then one day he gave me a giant push which could not be ignored. My life changed from that point on.

    IN THE TWINKLING OF HIS EYE

    IN THE TWINKLING OF HIS EYE




    You have long ignored his warnings

    Lived a sugar coated lie

    But God came and changed your thinking

    In the twinkling of his eye


    You wondered long and often

    Why your status was denied

    The Lord gave you his answer

    And God doesn’t compromise


    Alone you’ll feel the darkness

    On whom will you rely?

    Since he has ordered this for you

    Don’t dare to question why


    It’s now time to take the high road

    Leave the low road by and by

    Fear not, God has moved the mountains

    In the twinkling of his eye.

    A very spiritual write indeed. Very nicely written and the frhyming and flow are great! ...I wrote a similar poem called The Awakening - it is written in the same vein. I hope you check it out. Thanks for sharing this very inspirational piece. :) Ken

    God was trying to tell me something. I had become very good at ignoring him but like the poem says, he came and changed my thinking in the twinking of his eye.

    Glad you liked this one. For me it is so personal, he came and changed my thinking in the twinling of his eye.

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
