RELENTLESS by Melissa ArelMorning, evening and night
You have heard the prayers
Of relentless pursuit
From a relentless people
Were barely believing
As our spirits cling to the dust
Looking for something beautiful
At the eleventh hour
Words are stolen away
With this breath-taking moment -
As You awaken the hope
That slumbers in our souls
Midnight is closing in..
And Love is breathing
Like a tree on fire, consuming violent and tender life
You have come

Posted by Kate Demeree on 01/14/03 at 01:19 AM I have been reading your poetry, for a very long time, with admiration. Reading this feels like sitting in church listening to a prayer, simply beautiful. |
