Poetry Challenge Day 4 Topic: MAGNETISM

The topic for day 4 of the poetry challenge was MAGNETISM!  The blue eyed soul who joined the challenge, Wayne, brought a great perspective!  Check out his piece...it'll take you on a journey for sure!


when i was born
who was i ?

all kinds of cute
but so sinful inside
...

i learned a skill
and perfected
my craft
as i grew
just when i thought
i could get no worse
my wretchedness
abounded new

i heard of you
from year to year
but i was happy
in my misery
that i all to well knew

seasons of letdowns came and went
from mild abrasions and momentary
sufferings
from hurts of my heart
and the occasional
tragedy that struck

every now and then
a minor cut or break
these things
caused me pain
but my wicked mind
claimed it was purely
bad luck

i grew tired
of doing it on my own
and you came to mind
i thought hmmm
maybe this jesus
might be worth a look
it can get any worse right?

so in my time of
trouble i called your name
whoa i wasn't expecting that response
I LOVE YOU WAYNE

when your thunderous
voice echoed so loud
i was scared
and ran like a child
that had done something bad

i tried to hide from you
but every crevice of me
against my will
reveals it's secret to you
and my mind tells all
good or bad

it's time for wayne to
give up give in
and start livin

whew you said it so loud lord
i think the whole world heard
but hey it's all good
truths gotta be told
watch out here it comes
JESUS
your the living word

OH my goodness my
heart just jumped
with that unexplainable
feeling
oh great comforter
oh holy holy ghost
you send me reeling

how could i reject you
all these years
knowing
that i'm ok
only because you
the great (I AM)
made sure i stayed
that way

in reflection of my history
you were there
in my times of
bumps lumps
and painful
thumps
you so carried me through
stretched out your mighty hand
and pulled me back
lord when i didn't even know you
you hid me under your wing
and sheltered me from the enemy's attack

i now realize
that although born into sin
i'm still yours
one question if i may
lord ?
how did you know
i would gravitate back
to your holy shores
