Speak: A Poem

 

Jeremiah 10:13
When he speaks in the thunder, the heavens roar with rain. He causes the clouds to rise over the earth. He sends the lightening with the rain and releases the wind from his storehouses.

Go:
The words we speak
Sometimes seep
From the soul’s darkness buried deep
“Where did that come from?”
These words rising from the heart
Lay them, letter-by-letter at His feet
Could be the unseen enemy
Old questions begging for relief
He who speaks in the thunder
Has wisdom for our every blunder
He blesses those who turn
Despite torrents and roaring,
Seeking beyond the rain to love only Him
“Come to me” … His forever-speak.
Stop.

Writing for only 5 minutes can be hard. Today’s word prompt was SPEAK. My Go and Stop tell you what came out in 5 minutes with a few slight changes afterward. I really look forward to Fridays, to stretching my thoughts to fit in few words.
