  • haven't been on the sight for awhile but had written a couple poems i'd like to invite everyone to read, What it's all about and You Promised

Poem Commentary

Written right before the new year, with the intention of making things happen in the months and years to come in the new decade

You Promised

On the heal of his brother Esau, 
Jacob came out holding on.
For the vision and dreams that he saw.
Despite the lot that he'd been drawn.
Will we show true repentance 
And reap a harvest this coming year. 
Or will it be a decade of decadence
All who have ears let them hear.
Jacob received his fathers inheritance,
A motley collection of blessings to be exact.
For wisdom is proved right by action.
That's how faith is kept intact.
And when in doubt shout it out to your Father who does here you.
"You promised" you'd be there for me,
And you'll find that He's always near you.

Jedi, I am so sorry for your loss. I love the ending of this poem. I will read more of them later. Can not wait for the story to unfold as we all have one. Caryn on the Rhine

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
