Comment from Zakarism
The poet presents sin as a platform for confession. He sees God almighty as the author of life and to whom only humans should show remorse as symbol of atonement for forgiveness.
He has skillfully highlighted his elements of weakness and shortcomings. The rhyming and rhythms are professionally developed and aligned.

Comment from Wilder
Wow, this is truly amazing. You mix words together that aren't always remembered are words- which I think takes a great deal of talent. It's truly beautiful. I hope your God answers with Peace.

Comment from joan marie
Finally got a six back. This was very emotional and personal. You shared some intimate feelings. It is great to feel safe enough here to do that. I can see why it took first place. I could feel anguish and hope. It was like a prayer honestly spoken to God from someone truly repentive. Congragulations. joan marie

God's grace is more than sufficient,dear. He is benevolent.It is a constant struggle to see things through His eyes, which I must remind myself to learn.

Comment from honeytree
I am very impressed with the art work and your words which although sad in a way can happen, to each and one of us on earth.
I felt the humility within your words and your sorrow.
I am sure God will help you in every way possible.
"I'm heartless and hopeless, yet know I must hold
To a glimmer, a speck of warm light in the cold
Though beaten by guilt and restrained by remorse
I'll kneel here before You and beg for recourse
God, shine a merciful light on this wraith
Who, here in Your goodness, clings on with raw faith
For You can deliver my soul from black skies
By viewing it through Your benevolent eyes."
Beautiful words expressed and truly sincere words.
Honeytree.

Hello.
Takes a lot to speak of such pain and bare your soul this way. Congratulations on your win. You have rhythm and really held the end rhyme all the way through a work that was not short or easy to write I'm sure. Thanks for sharing your faith. rebecca
