I thought I would give you all a taste of what kind of poetry I mean by the psalms to God, the poetry I am passionate about :) Hope you enjoy, or at least can appreciate it.
Walk on Water
“Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”
I eye the water
strap on my lifejacket
over my mistrust
and advance with caution.
“Come,” he said.
I lift one leg over.
The water is cold,
wind harsh on my face.
Securing the straps
I step.
Eyes filled with distrust
disbelief I would walk,
so I sink.
“You of little faith,” he said, “Why did you doubt?”
Forgive me my fears, Lord.
No reason to mistrust you.
Help me remove my hesitations
so I may walk on water
certain of your guidance.
