THRUST

Curvaceous verse

Panoramic vocabulary

Mind bending soliloquy

Sincere attempt at piercing lyricism

Hermetic thoughts flow freely

Never planned

Absent minded orchestration

Poetic gift is truly divine

His power

Surging through my modest pen

So often I am mystified

By the cryptic finished product

The fine line diminishes

Between my selfish ego

And His holy direction

Once I was so cavalier

Brimming with vain expression

Now my focus is servile

To praise and honor Jesus Christ

Frequently

My words

Misunderstood

Controversial

Perplexing

Even by my own measure

Locution I cannot claim

Flowing from a higher plain

Tender

As a lotus bloom

Porous as planar sandstone

Inspirational I pray

Unassuming legacy

As He leads me along the chosen way

I am honored to share my journey

Sharpened point of view

Perhaps a glimpse of hope

To those who feel my thrust
