In-Tent-ion

    I will dwell in security

because the arms of your salvation

        have embraced me

higher than the mountains peaks

is the persuasion of your kindnesses

        you could see my need

I was cast down ,         lost            and alone

                 yet you coaxed me

                        with the tender Words

                               the soft expressions of comfort

when I was afraid

      you sheltered me   

           with the towers             of your strength

a fortification built        upon the foundations         of your truth

               gave me warmth

                   beside your fires

                     nourished me with affections

                         bathed me with your attentions

                              and clothed me with            the declarations of your Love

Their abundance             overflows                   they have spilled

                          upon dust and brought forth life

 

                                    You have made me radiant 

                                             with its splendor

 

                                   The reflections of your heart

                                    are mirrored in their beauty

 

I am drawn forth to follow their footsteps

                        pad lightly towards its likenesses

                                until I can return 

                    the same folding of expressions

 

The espousals of your favor

        the betrothal of your regard

               all of them your undeserved kindnesses

                     the rain of which    causes   a desert

                                     to bloom its delicate buds 

caressed by your intense cultivations

 

                 For you planted the seeds

                     sent forth your gentle rains

                          nurtured the vines of planting

                              brought forth the clusters of fruit

                                   given birth to joy here to fore unknown

I shall be forever grateful

the only place I will call home

for this , My Love , 

        You will ever

             have my praises

                  I am bound by their promises

                            held by its cords

                                  faith in its loyalty

                                       engaged with hope

                                          and the fervor of Loves

 

and the Words of God found in Christ Jesus 

 

no scriptures yet I never get then until after

things get written.....

[Matthew Bass]

It is a nice poem with just the words, but what I think makes it great is the structure. The indents, line breaks, and the empty space between some words add so much emotion to it. The back and forth style with the line breaks made me feel wrapped up in your unbridled joy. It was like being grabbed by the arm and thrown about with words.

I just loved your writing style, looks like waves that flutters on wind indeed. Loved your poem too, words that you've used here are too powerful. Well written indeed.
