This work has reached the exceptional level
The Spirit promped me thrice, tonight.

A Midnight Special

by Tom Horonzy

 
In the middle of the night, 
with no one in sight, 
a verbal vision came unto me 
declaring "God Lives" 
and loves me so much 
He meets my every need. 
 
A nose to breathe the air He gives. 
A mouth to nourish myself...
to savor flavors only He produces; 
though some will argue they do too,
if they have the mindset, yet
it was done under the auspices 
of a mind which He refined.
 
With eyes to see 'abounding' beauty. 
Grass so green, and trees so tall 
waving in a breeze neath His control... 
with colors that extend beyond 
far-flung rainbows overflowing 
with pots of gold, silver, and more 
riches than one can imagine.
 
And with my ears, I hear 
babies laugh, which makes me glad, 
as well as cries that make me sad,
perhaps to gain attention, 
to meet a need, ease a pain, 
or simply wanting to be held close. 

Could such howls, subtlely be,
a child's prayer, akin 
to our supplications asking
for additional favors?
 
I don't know why 
such thoughts came to me
in the middle of the night, 
with no one in sight, perhaps, 
because of the unconditional love 
shown by brethren and sisters
echoing their eldest Brother,
in removing a copse of fallen trees, 
like Jesus did in expunging sin 
as we commit to "Come Unto Him."
This is my testimony in Christ's Holy name.

My Faith Poetry contest entry


Believe it or not, I was stirred awake repeating the same verses again multiple times last night. I felt moved to bear testimony in a meeting come the morning, one in which appreciation was given rather than pleas for added blessings.
