From First Thoughts

From first thoughts formed within the mind, The heart is brought to play, To fashion themes from all one's dreams With precious prose to say... And thus begins, the scribbling phase, The scratching on a page, With winsome words of wisdom penned Towards the final stage... Prophetic visions gather close Within the inner eye, Presenting truths and fantasies Enough to make one sigh... Enough to make one laugh or weep, Enough to pause in prayer, Enough to tantalise the soul To help each one prepare... Then back to read the sentences, Reciting every word And listening to the nuances, Once heard and then preferred... So changes come, to heighten truths, Loose meanings cast aside, For clearer inspirations bring God's insights to abide... And only then, when God has shared, Can everything transform Into the greatest story told That causes hearts to warm... For in Man's words and thoughts and rhymes The Lord expresses joys, Reminding us, like Jesus Christ, That each soul has a choice... Thus every day come challenges, Unbidden, like the snow, Unbidden like the fiercest winds That no man wants to know... Yet in the storms, none stands alone, By faith, God's love prevails And that shows why the world is full Of poems telling tales... Denis Martindale, copyright June 2014.
